About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Cerebral palsy is a group of upper motor neuron syndromes with acquired disorders of early brain development .It effects the person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. It is the most common motor disability of childhood. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation integration pattern stimulates the proprioceptors with in the muscle and tendon to enhance the performance flexibility, balance and helps in trunk mobility. The motor control movement pattern is facilitated by the dynamic and assistive active resistant progressions regaining motor control. Rebound therapy is used to facilitate movement, promote balance, helps in increase or decrease in muscle tone and promotes sensory integration.

This study will evaluate the effects of PNF techniques with and without rebound therapy on trunk control in children with cerebral palsy. It is randomized controlled trial.34 children with cerebral palsy will participate in this study. The participants will be randomized into control group A (n=17) and experimental group (n =17).Only those children will be included who fulfill inclusion criteria. That is both gender, age range 6 to 12 years, having GMFM score of I -II .Those having cognitive and learning difficulties, having age range out of 6 to 12 years. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 29. The control group will practice PNF techniques for trunk control while experimental group will practice rebound therapy along with PNF exercises for trunk control .Both group will receive 45 min session, 5 days a week for 6 weeks. TCMS and TUG scale will be used.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniquesTreatment being tested
GROUP A (experimental group) PNF based exercises for trunk control duration 45 min 5 session/week for 6 weeks; Resist person concentric contraction while move in sitting .Resist eccentric control as th lie down. Balance using stabilizing reversals or rhythmic stabilization .Resist shoulder pelvis ,head.Trunk exercises dynamic reversals and combination of isotonic to increase trunk strength and coordination .Resist at scapula and lifting combinations for irradiation. Trunk flexion and extension. Reaching forward and to side with return,for this hip flexion, extension ,lateral motion and rotation with the trunk remaining stable Bridging exercises Lower trunk rotation .Weight shifting in long leg sitting
- Rebound TherapyExisting treatment, for comparison
Rebound Therapy lying down on trampoline bouncing created.10 times.Hip kneeling bounce and Standing bouncing with physio balls .Jump on trampoline. Learning front drops, seat drops for 5 minutes. Resist person concentric contraction while move into sitting .Resist eccentric control as they lie down. Balance using stabilizing reversals to increase trunk stability .Resist shoulder pelvis, head.Trunk exercises: use dynamic reversals and combination of isotonic to increase trunk strength and coordination .Resist at scapula and lifting combination for irradiation. Trunk flexion and extension. Reaching forward and to side with return,for this hip flexion , extension ,lateral motion and rotation with trunk remaining stable Bridging exercises Lower trunk rotation .Weight shifting in long leg sitting
