Scooter Board Activities Versus Core Stability Exercises
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Scooter Board Activities: Scooter board bear walk. Scooter board crab walk. Sitting on scooter board, use it to move forward and backward, move the pool rings from one end to another. Cross sitting on scooter board, pulls along the rope using his/her hands Sit with knees pulled into the chest (like a bug pose) and move around with arms only. Prone over scooter board, pulling rope to move forward. Pull self along an anchored rope to retrieve items Scooter rolls outs. Place knees on floor and hands holding the edge of the front scooter board. Push board out a few inches then pull back, the further you roll, the harder it gets. 8- Kneeling, Push self forward and backward with the use of a therapy ball (lots of Motor Planning). Supine flexion on scooter board, Clip clothespins to a rope hanging above.
Core Stability Exercises: Bridges Bird-dog Sit-ups on therapy ball Static and dynamic trunk holds
Study summary
Children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) often experience impaired trunk control and balance, which limits functional mobility. Core stability exercises are commonly used in pediatric physical therapy to improve trunk control. Scooter board activities, which challenge trunk stability through dynamic movement, may offer an engaging alternative. This study aims to compare the effects of these two interventions.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) — before and after 3 months of intervention
The TCMS is a standardized observational assessment tool designed to evaluate static and dynamic trunk control in children with cerebral palsy (CP) during functional sitting tasks. It is particularly useful for detecting trunk impairments that affect balance, postural adjustments, and functional mobility. Scoring System Each item is scored 0-2: 0 = Unable to perform or requires arm support/trunk compensation 1. = Performs partially or with minimal compensations 2. = Performs fully without compensations Total Score Range: 0-58 Higher scores indicate better trunk control.
