About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a motor disorder caused by damage to the brain that affects posture, movement, and muscle control. It can lead to difficulties with trunk control, gait, and posture, which can impact daily activities and quality of life. Core stability exercises have been shown to improve trunk control, gait, and posture in children with CP by improving muscle activation patterns and enhancing postural stability. Kinesio-taping, on the other hand, is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of a stretchy tape to the skin to provide support, stability, and pain relief to the muscles and joints. It has been proposed that kinesio-taping may enhance the effects of exercises by providing additional support and proprioceptive feedback.

This will be randomized controlled trial study. Sampling technique will be non-probability convenience sampling. Computer randomization will be used to locate subjects in two groups. After that informed consent will be taken and patients will be included in the study based on the inclusion criteria. Study will be conducted in 22 CP children age 7-12 years, ability to stand and walk, ability to follow instructions and assess by assessment tools as GMFCS level II, GARS, TIS and PAS pre and post intervention. Study groups will be divided into 2 groups, Group A (study Group) and group B (control group) Group A: Experimental group; combination of core stability exercises and kinesio-taping Group B: control group; only core stability exercises. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS-25. Appropriate statistical test will be used after checking normality of data.
