A protocol to evaluate the effect of Modified Scooter Board Therapy on Trunk Control and Hip muscles Activation in children with Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition caused due to damage to a developing brain, leading to various motor, sensory and cognitive impairments. Being one of the leading cause of developmental disability among children worldwide, CP warrants a rehabilitation technique which is feasible and engaging for t...

description Cerebral palsy (CP) is a condition caused due to damage to a developing brain, leading to various motor, sensory and cognitive impairments. Being one of the leading cause of developmental disability among children worldwide, CP warrants a rehabilitation technique which is feasible and engaging for the child, cost effective for the family and based neurophysiological principles. Among the various impairments, the children with CP exhibit difficulty in sitting and ambulation due to abnormal tone and poor control in the muscles around the hip joint and the trunk. The previous literature supports the prone positioning and its effect in improving the girdle and trunk control, however there is lack in the studies which evaluate the type of interventions which consider the child and parent participation in intervention being delivered. Thus, the current double blinded randomized control trial aims to evaluate the effect of exercises done using Modified scooter board device in addition to conventional therapy in improving the hip muscle activation and trunk control in children with CP. • A study evaluating the effectiveness of a novel scooter board device in children with CP. • An intervention which is simple, self-engaging and cost effective to prevent most secondary complications seen in children with CP. • An intervention which is aimed at reducing the hardship experienced by parents of children with CP towards improving their functional outcome.
