ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of task-oriented training (balance and gait) in hemiplegic and diplegic cerebral palsy. 30 children of cerebral palsy in which 15 were hemiplegic CP and 15 were diplegic CP participating in the study. All the subjects from specified source of data were assessed and those who fulfilled inclusion criteria were taken up for the study. All thirty subjects were randomly allocated in to t wo groups, Group [A] Hemiplegic CP and Group [B] Diplegic CP with 15 subjects in each. Each child was evaluated for their functional ability using the PBS, 10-meter walk test and Gait parameters prior to commencement of training. 40 children were assessed for eligibility. Out of which 4 children were excluded because they refused to participate in study, 6 children were not meeting the inclusion criteria. Total 30 children were randomized and divided in to two groups. Group A (N= 15) (Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy), Group B (N=15) (Diplegic Cerebral Palsy). Total of 15 males and 15 females were participated in the study. In group A there were 9 males and 6 females and in group B there were 6 males 9 females. In group A Total 5 children had pre-natal causes for cerebral palsy whereas 10 reported postnatal. In group B 8 children had prenatal and 7 postnatal causes responsible for cerebral palsy. It concludes that there is no substantial effect of task-oriented training for children with hemiplegic and diplegic cerebral palsy. We can extend the study period and treatment sessions in subsequent research.
Key words: Oriented training, balance, gait, hemiplegic and diplegic cerebral palsy
