Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of positioning on gross motor function and spasticity in spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy children with Gross Motor Function Classification System level IV and V. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at two Paediatric Physical Therapy Centres from November 2018 to July 2019. The study was comprised of seventy four children with quadriplegic cerebral palsy aged between 3 to 8 years. Data was obtained and gross motor functional abilities and spasticity were assessed by GMFM-88 and Modified Ashworth Scale respectively. Twenty four-hour positioning in specific seats, night positioning and standing frames for six months. The child was being positioned in 24 hours according to his challenges for the period of six months. Semi reclined positioning was performed to manage aspiration, oral leak and to develop retention. Prone positioning was done to develop righting reactions, functional sitting position was used in the treatment regime to attain better upright position and neutral pelvic standing using standing frames. SPSS 24 was used to analyse the data. Results: Paired t-test reported significant improvement in the test scores in lying position, rolling, sitting position, crawling, kneeling, standing, walking or running. n=59 subjects exhibited improvement in the spasticity before and after interventional procedures, while n=15 showed no improvement as the value of p<0.05. Conclusion: Twenty-Four-hour proper body positioning and postural techniques improved gross motor functioning in all of the five dimensions of functioning. The overall spasticity in quadriplegic cerebral palsy children was also reduced due to appropriate positioning techniques.  Continuous....

AbstractSpastic Cerebral Palsy is a type of Cerebral Palsy that experiences stiffness or tightness of the muscles. These muscles become stiff because messages to the muscles are conveyed incorrectly by the damaged part of the brain. The presence of spasticity will affect gross motor function disorders in children with cerebral palsy. One of the physiotherapy approaches to improve gross motor function is hippotherapy. This literature review study aims to describe gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children after giving hippotherapy from several articles. The selection of articles in this study was a literature review analysis using the PICO method, five articles were obtained for review from several data bases such as PubMed (n=2) and Google Scholar (n=3). The measuring instrument uses GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) to measure gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children. The results of the literature review analysis in these five articles indicate that hippotherapy can improve gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children with an average value before the action of 63.65 and after the action of 66.68. From the results of the literature review of these five articles, it shows that hippotherapy is proven to improve gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children before and after giving intervention with hippotherapy modality with an average difference of 3.03. Hippotherapy can be used as a reference material for interventions or research materials or physiotherapy research, especially in pediatric cases.Keywords: GMFM; spastic cerebral palsy; hippotherapy AbstrakCerebral Palsy Spastik merupakan salah satu jenis Cerebral Palsy yang mengalami kekakuan atau keketatan otot-otot. Otot ini menjadi kaku karena pesan pada otot disampaikan secara tidak benar oleh bagian otak yang rusak. Adanya spastisitas akan berpengaruh terhadap gangguan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy. Salah satu pendekatan fisioterapi untuk meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar adalah hippotherapy. Penelitian literature review ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik setelah pemberian hippotherapy dari beberapa artikel. Pemilihan artikel pada penelitian ini yaitu analisis literature review dengan metode PICO, didapatkan lima artikel untuk direview dari beberapa data base sepertiPubMed (n=2) dan Google Scholar (n=3). Alat ukur menggunakan GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) untuk mengukur fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik. Hasil analisis literature review pada kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa hippotherapy dapat meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik dengan nilai rata-rata sebelum tindakan 63,65 dan sesudah tindakan 66,68. Dari hasil literature review kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa hippotherapy terbukti dapat meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik sebelum dan sesudah pemberian intervensi dengan modalitas hippotherapy dengan hasil selisih rata-rata sebesar 3,03. Hippotherapy dapat digunakan sebagai bahan acuan untuk intervensi maupun bahan riset atau penelitian fisioterapi khususnya pada kasus pediatric.Kata kunci : GMFM;cerebral palsy spastik;hippotherapy

Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

To find out functional strength training exercise on improving gross motor function among the children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy children. Single group pre-experimental research design. The most common cause of movement disability in infancy is cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy patients have impairments such as spasticity, low muscle strength and selective motor control in their body function. Such deficiencies may limit activity performance and participation in everyday life. Improving and optimising activities and involvement are crucial treatment objectives. Functional strength workouts are vital to overcoming obstacles to improving the functionality of children with neurological issues. 92 subjects of spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsied aged 4-8, male and female with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were selected under purposive sampling technique and received functional strength training exercise for a period of ten weeks. To assess the gross motor function (functional independence) pre and post the exercise program, Gross motor functional measure was used. Results: The pre and post measurements shows significant changes in the gross motor function among children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The results of the post-test mean values show improvement in gross motor functions after functional strength training program (p<0.05). The functional strength training program proves that increased gross motor function and thereby improvement in functional abilities among children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy after ten weeks of intervention.

Objectives: To improved motor learning in spastic cerebral palsy children andreinforce weak movement patterns and to discourage overactive ones. To reduce the spasticitywith different Bobath physical therapy techniques and control body posture as well as bodymovements. Study Design: A case series. Place and Duration of Study: Madina TeachingHospital (The University of Faisalabad) Faisalabad, Pakistan. Period: The duration of the studywas 3 months March 2013 to May 2013. Patients & Methods: A total 13 patients, aged 2-10years of spastic CP were randomly selected. Effects of treatment were measured and datawere collected by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. All children weretested thrice once completion of first month, then end of second month and then completion oftherapy at the end of third month. Results: The result revealed that grading of spasticity from1st to 3rd months of study was measured mean and standard deviations as follow, 1.62±0.87to 0.85±0.80, CV% 53.75 to 95.24% and variance 0.93 to 0.89. The gross motor learningof 5 conditions that was Lying & rolling, Sitting, Crawling & kneeling, Standing, Walking &running and Overall % from first month to third month was measured as follow, Lying & rolling41.48±30.36 to 44.49±31.90 P-value 0.000, Sitting 47.18±37.59 to 49.74±38.11 P-value 0.000,Crawling & kneeling 26.74±27.11 to 29.49±29.17 P-value 0.000, Standing 12.43±16.25 to14.20±17.53 P-value 0.000, Walking & running 9.08±12.75 to 10.47±13.79 P-value 0.000 andOverall % 27.38±23.46 to 29.68±24.85 P-value 0.000. Conclusion: The Bobath techniques(neurodevelopment treatment) on gross motor learning are very effective and do play animportant role in cerebral palsy children.
