Overview
1. To better understand the factors that contribute to ROM abnormalities in children diagnosed with CP. 2. To describe the distribution of primary (muscle tone and postural stability)and secondary impairments (ROM and functional muscle strength) across the gross motor spectrum measured by GMFCS scores. 3. To evaluate the effects of primary and secondary impairments on gross functional outcome in children with spastic CP. 4. To find any possible correlation between clinical variables.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test balance and range of motion
* Spinal alignment and range of motion measure scale (SAROMM): is a measure of spinal alignment and range of motion using standard physical therapy techniques scored on a 5-point ordinal score of 0 (normal alignment and range with active correction) to4 ("severe" fixed deformity) (Bartlett ey al., 2005) * Modified Ashworth scale (MAS): is a measure of muscle motion and scoring the perceived resistance to movement on a scale of 1 (no increase in tone) to 5 (rigid in flexion or extension) (Clopton e
