Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and static stretching techniques on the balance and functional capabilities of children diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP).
Detailed Description:
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) and static stretching techniques on the balance and functional capabilities of children diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). The study consisted of a group of sixteen children, ranging in age from 8 to 16 years, who were diagnosed with bilateral hip flexor contracture and diplegic cerebral palsy. These children were classified according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I to III. The children were randomly divided into PNF and static stretching groups. Stretching techniques were applied 2 days a week for 4 weeks, with 6 repetitions in each session. The study assessed various parameters, including hip extension range of motion (ROM), muscle tone intensity based on the Modified Ashworth Scale, hip flexor shortness as determined by the Thomas Test, the time up and go (TUG) test, balance using the Pediatric Berg Balance Scale, and functional status evaluated through the Gilette Functional Walking Assessment Questionnaire.
