TheraTogs Versus Reciprocal Electrical Stimulation on Children With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Conditions: Down Syndrome
Sex: All
Ages: 6 Years – 8 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 15
Sponsor: Cairo University
Location: Egypt
Summary
Children with diplegic cerebral palsy exhibit postural restrictions as a result of both primary and secondary brain damage impairments.
One of the main goals of cerebral palsy rehabilitation is to improve balance and stability.
As a result, the purpose of this study is to compare the effects of TheraTogs and reciprocal electrical stimulation on postural stability in children with diplegic CP.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:Diplegic children of both sexes are between the ages of 8 and 12.
The level of spasticity in the lower limbs ranged from grade 1 to grade +1 on the modified Ashworth scale (MAS).
The levels of motor function were between levels I and II, according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).Exclusion Criteria:If they had no major medical issues, according to their medical report.
Skin diseases and allergic reactions to the adhesive tape used in this study were excluded, as were any deformities that interfered with lower limb functions, children with pace- makers who were contraindicated by electrical stimula- tion, children with visual, auditory, or perceptual deficits, and children with seizures.
