Effect of Lower Extremity Modified Constraint-induced Movement Therapy on Locomotion in Children With Hemiplegia
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Modified constraint-induced movement therapy: Three tasks will be designed to be performed for 10 min each while using the knee scooter as a method of constraint-induced movement therapy The 3 tasks will be as follows: 1. Walking with knee scooter forward on 8 meter walkway 2. Walking with knee scooter backward on 8 meter walkway 3. Standing with the knee scooter on balance board
Conventional physical therapy: 1. Repetitive motor training following shaping task * Step on stool. * Squat to stand. * Pressing the pedal stepper. * Walking on treadmill. * Bicycle. * Air walker. 2. Behavioral strategies: * Walking with picking toys from ground * Passing obstacles * Walking with a ball, moving it by the lower extremity
Study summary
* To determine the effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on spatial and temporal gait parameters in children with hemiplegia.
* To determine the effect of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on functional mobility in children with hemiplegia.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- assessment of spatial gait parameters — At baseline and after Four weeks
Kinovea is a free 2D motion analysis software that facilitates inexpensive, sensor-free video-based motion assessments suitable for clinical practice. Its reliability has been established for measuring cervical range of motion (ROM) in both sagittal and frontal planes, dominant wrist joint ROM, shoulder ROM, and ankle joint ROM during walking. Additionally, it effectively measures spatial gait parameters, including stride length, step length, and hip, knee, and ankle angles at initial contact and mid-swing stages of the gait cycle. Required tools for its use include a walking area, digital camera, adhesive skin marks, and a tripod.
