Brief Summary:
This study investigates how Task-Specific Circuit Training (TSCT) affects gross motor function, balance, and quality of life in children with Cerebral Palsy. Two groups will be compared: one receiving TSCT and the other receiving conventional physiotherapy. Outcome measures, such as the GMFM, Pediatric Balance Scale, and CP-QoL questionnaire, will be recorded before and after a 8-week intervention (40-50 minutes, 3 sessions per week). Participants will be screened using GMFCS levels I-III. The study aims to determine whether TSCT provides greater improvements in functional mobility, postural control, and overall well-being compared to standard therapy.
Detailed Description:
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is recognized as one of the most common motor disabilities in childhood, significantly affecting movement, balance, and functional independence. Children with CP, particularly those with often experience impairments in gross motor function and postural control, which may limit their participation in daily activities and influence overall quality of life.
This study will involve two groups, one receiving Task-Specific Circuit Training (TSCT) and the other receiving conventional physiotherapy interventions. This study aims to evaluate the additional effects of task-specific, repetitive, goal-oriented circuit training on gross motor function, balance, and health-related quality of life in children with Cerebral Palsy.
Key outcome measures, including the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), Pediatric Balance Scale, and CP-quality of life questionnaire (CP-QoL) will be used to assess improvements in functional mobility, postural stability, and social/psychological well-being. Participants will be screened using the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS I-III) for inclusion criteria. Outcome measures will be recorded on the first day of intervention, after 4 weeks and again at the completion of the training period.
The intervention will be administered for 40-50 minutes per session, 3 sessions per week for 6 consecutive weeks, with the TSCT group performing structured, task-oriented functional stations designed to mimic daily life activities, while the control group performs standard physiotherapy exercises. Data will be collected again after 8 weeks to determine the effectiveness of task-specific circuit training in enhancing gross motor function, improving balance, and elevating the overall quality of life in children with Cerebral Palsy.
