Brief Summary: Cerebral Palsy CP is a motor disorder caused by damage to the brain that affects posture movement and muscle control It can lead to difficulties with trunk control gait and posture which can impact daily activities and quality of life Core stability exercises have been shown to improve trunk control gait and posture in children with CP by improving muscle activation patterns and enhancing postural stability Kinesio-taping on the other hand is a therapeutic technique that involves the application of a stretchy tape to the skin to provide support stability and pain relief to the muscles and joints It has been proposed that kinesio-taping may enhance the effects of exercises by providing additional support and proprioceptive feedback

This will be randomized controlled trial study Sampling technique will be non-probability convenience sampling Computer randomization will be used to locate subjects in two groups After that informed consent will be taken and patients will be included in the study based on the inclusion criteria Study will be conducted in 22 CP children age 7-12 years ability to stand and walk ability to follow instructions and assess by assessment tools as GMFCS level II GARS TIS and PAS pre and post intervention Study groups will be divided into 2 groups Group A study Group and group B control group Group A Experimental group combination of core stability exercises and kinesio-taping Group B control group only core stability exercises Data will be analyzed by using SPSS-25 Appropriate statistical test will be used after checking normality of data
Detailed Description: Experimental Group

After the baseline assessment the patient in the experimental group will receive the core stability exercises with kinesio-taping on trunk stabilizer muscles Time of rehabilitation will be 30 minutes per subject and four days per week In first few minutes the subject will be explained herhis task Subject will execute the exercises such as Abdominal draw-in with a double knee to chest 10- 15 times Trunk twist while sitting on a medicine ball 10- 15 times Lying in a supine position on bed and rotating the trunk from side-to-side 10- 15 times Lying in a supine position on a mat and pulling upper and lower limbs upward 10- 15 times Bridging exercises 10- 15 times Deep Breathing and Wheelbarrow4 Kinesio-taping The area to be taped will be cleaned with an alcohol swab and the I-shaped elastic Kinesio-taping will apply to the four trunk muscles from their insertion to their origin Kinesio-taping is used on global muscles such as Rectus abdominis External obliques Erector spinae Quadratus lumborum For the rectus abdominis RA muscle the kinesio-taping will be applied from the xiphoid process and the fifth to seventh costal cartilages to near the pubic symphysis in the hooking position For the external oblique EO muscle the kinesio-taping will be applied from the inguinal region to the T12 spinous process in the side-lying position and for the internal oblique IO muscle the kinesio-taping will be applied from the xiphoid process to the anterior half of the crest of the ilium in the same position For the erector spinae muscle the kinesio-taping will be applied from the ipsilateral transverse process of T12 to the posterior sacrum iliac crest Kinesio-taping will 1 inch wide and apply on muscles for 1 to 2 days then remove for 24 hours then again apply a new one The tension will be 10 to 15 and tape will apply on muscles which will be stretched by maintaining a posture

Control Group

After the baseline assessment the patient in the control group will receive the core stability exercises with kinesio-taping on trunk stabilizer muscles Time of rehabilitation will be 30 minutes per subject and four days per week In first few minutes the subject will be explained herhis task Subject will execute the exercises such as Abdominal draw-in with a double knee to chest 10- 15 times Trunk twist while sitting on a medicine ball 10- 15 times Lying in a supine position on bed and rotating the trunk from side-to-side 10- 15 times Lying in a supine position on a mat and pulling upper and lower limbs upward 10- 15 times Bridging exercises 10- 15 times Deep Breathing and Wheelbarrow
