About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a neurodevelopmental disorder in which there are abnormalities of motor skills, muscle tone ,and, movement and is caused by injury to the developing brain. Risk factors for cerebral palsy are most probably intrauterine exposure to infection or inflammation and disorders of coagulation.Cerebral palsy (CP) is classified as Spastic, Athetoid, Tremor, Rigidity, Ataxic, Atonic, and Mixed.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in early childhood and overall, the CP rate is between 2 and 3 per 1000 live births.There are several interventions to manage cerebral palsy depending upon the severity and type of cerebral palsy and hence requires a multidisciplinary setting for proper improvement and management.One of the important intervention is conductive education including conductive exercises (CE).
Conductive education (CE) is a useful educational system for the management of motor disabled individuals whose disability and dysfunction was due to the damage to the central nervous system, mainly at the pre-, peri- or post-natal period of life. Conductive exercises basically include task-oriented learning within highly structured programs and conductors who are trained in special education and therapy administer the conductive education program.
The 2 groups in the trial
- Experimental GroupTreatment being tested
Group A will perform Conductive exercises (CE) in addition to routine physical therapy. Conductive exercises program will include Squat-position, Rising from squat to stand, Sitting on the stool, Prone lying, High kneeling and half kneeling, Sitting, lying and high kneeling, Walking in parallel bars, Sitting to standing, Floor to standing, Picking up toys from the floor, Balance on one foot on different surfaces and heights, Crawling over foams of different sizes and shapes, Climbing steps or stairs sometimes while carrying a toy. These exercises will improve motor skills and activities of daily living by improving the muscle strength
Treatment: Conductive Exercises
- Routine Physical TherapyExisting treatment, for comparison
Group B will perform routine physical therapy (RPT) alone. Active and passive movements, Passive stretching, strengthening exercises, weight bearing exercises.
