Официальное название

Effects of Comprehensive Hand Intense Strength Training on In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength Among Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Обзор

This Quasi experimental study investigates the effects of CHRIST on In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength amonfg children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy. The study involves 14 children from 6-12 years of age, and will be given intervention for 10 weeks period. Key performance outcomes- In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength will be assessed both before and after the intervention. This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effects of the CHRIST on IHM and grip strength in children diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. The hypothesis is that integrating strength training with high repetition, functionally relevant tasks yields greater and more practical gains than strength training or conventional therapy alone. Data will be analyzed through SPSS version 27.0

Подробное описание

This Quasi Experimental study investigates the effects of CHRIST on In Hand Manipulation and Grip Strength in children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy. CHRIST was designed to enhance the motor ability of children. The efficacy of this program will be investigated through a Quasi Experimental study. Data will be collected from special schools and rehabilitation centers having children with spastic cerebral palsy. The intervention CHRIST will be given thrice a week for forty minutes. The study will be completed in 10 weeks after approval of the synopsis. The study will include 14 children, male and female. Inclusion criteria for the study will include patients diagnosed with spastic CP. Data will be collected from children aged 6 to 12 years old. IHM will be measured by Melbourne Assessment 2 scale (MA2). Grip Strength will be measured by dynamometer. IHM \& Grip Strength will be assessed both before and after the intervention.This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effects of CHRIST on IHM and grip strength in children diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. The hypothesis is that integrating strength training with high repetition, functionally relevant tasks yields greater and more practical gains than strength training or conventional therapy alone. Data will be analyzed through SPSS version 27.0

Вмешательства

• Другое CHRIST
  CHRIST, is a treadmill-based training with body weight supported by the upper limbs. There will be a session of 40 minutes, which includes 3 sets (10 minutes exercise with 3 minutes rest period per set), three times a week, over a 10 week period. By maintaining the posture of the quadruped, the abdomen and weight of the lower limb will be supported by using a support board under the abdomen. The speed of the treadmill for the upper limbs will be 0.3-1.2 km/h.
