About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This study compared the efficacy of therapeutic ultrasound (US) and whole-body vibration (WBV) as adjuncts to a standardized passive stretching regimen on improving knee joint range of motion (ROM) and functional capacity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP).
The 2 groups in the trial
- ultrasound groupTreatment being tested
received therapeutic ultrasound prior to stretching
Treatment: ultrasound
- whole body vibration groupTreatment being tested
performed exercises on a vibrating platform before stretching
Treatment: whole body vibration
