The study will be a Randomized Clinical Trial conducted at the physiotherapy outpatient clinic of the tertiary care hospital in Sialkot, Idrees Hospital. Following the approval of the BASR, the study will be completed within six months. The sample will be taken using a non-probability convenient sampling technique, and the sample will be randomly divided into two groups. A sample size of 44 patients will be taken in this study. There will be two groups. Both groups will receive conventional therapy consisting of stretching, strengthening, range-of-motion exercises, positioning, and electrical stimulation. Group A: This group will receive Neck-Trunk Stabilization exercises. Group B: This group will receive Bobath therapy. The total intervention protocol will be given for six weeks' duration, with three sessions per week of about 45 minutes each. Outcome measures tools will be Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). Children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks.
Physiotherapy is widely used in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy. This study is conducted to identify the most appropriate physiotherapy approach. The purpose of the study is to compare two physical rehabilitation strategies i.e., Neck-trunk stabilization exercises and Bobath therapy, to investigate their effectiveness on trunk control and upper limb function. The aims of treatment are to influence muscle tone and improve postural alignment by specific handling technique.
