INTRODUCTION: Cerebral palsy is a collection of permanent movement and postural impairments that limit activity and are caused by non-progressive abnormalities in a fetus' or child's growing brain. In children with cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) and electrical stimulation (ES) treatments are utilized individually to improve postural control and balance (CP).
AIM: To study the combined effects of Neuro-developmental treatment (Bobath concept) and Electrical Stimulation on postural control and balance in children with cerebral palsy.
METHODS: The study comprised thirty children, divided into two groups, ranging in age from five to fifteen years. NDT+ES was given to the experimental group, while NDT was given to the control group for only 5 weeks. GMFM-88 was used to assess gross motor functions, PBS was used to assess balance, MTUGT was used to measure posture control, and SPCM was used to assess posture control.
RESULTS: There was significant improvement in the outcomes measures within both the groups individually while between group analysis of outcome measures was not significant.
CONCLUSION: 5-week NDT based posture and balance training applied to children with cerebral palsy improved their functional motor level along with postural control skills, however application of electrical stimulation also has been found effective in this study.
