Brief Summary:
The term of core stability explains the capacity to control the position and movement of the central portion of the body Core stability training targets the muscles deep within the abdomen that attach to the spine pelvis and shoulders that help in the preservation of proper posture and provide the basis for movements of extremities in a coordinated manner The aim of core stability training is to achieve the optimal physical ability tom the normal state of the spine in daily activities in addition to developing the endurance and coordination of these core stability musclesThe Core stability may help to improve dynamic balance and muscle coordination between lower and upper extremities as well as reducing injury risk and muscle imbalances Core stability exercises have a positive effect on reducing pain activating deep abdominal muscles elevating the stability of lumbar spine and improving physical function in patients The stability of the lumbo-pelvic region is crucial to provide a foundation for movement of the upper and lower extremities to support loads and to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots The core muscles stabilize the spine and trunk during movements such as jumping running and throwing
Detailed Description:
Cerebral palsy CP could be a cluster of disorders that have an effect on the event of movement and postureinflicting activity limitation and nonprogressive disturbances that occurred within the developing fetal or child brainThe main therapeutic goals for children with CP are the performance of functional activities and walking
Children with CP have a limitation with activities due to the existing impairments in independent walking climbing stairs running or walking over uneven surface Functional limitation of children with CP may have various degrees due to loss of axial control with an imbalance of their movement Balance has been defined as the elements of postural control that allow a child to safely perform everyday tasks Poor balance control is one of the most contributing factors for poor gait and reaching movement because the maintenance of stability is critical to all movements Children with CP have defects in postural mechanisms including righting and equilibrium reactions antigravity mechanism proximal stability and postural fixation Diplegia is amongst the most widely recognized clinical subtypes of Cerebral Palsy CP It is used when the motor impairment is milder in the upper limbs than the lower limbs Most children have major weakness in the trunk and hypertonic limbs Diplegia is characterized by increased muscle tone with difficulty in relaxing Active movements are slow and stiff with abnormal patterns Lower limbs are more affected than upper limbs Head and neck are unaffected but there is weakness and limited rotation of the trunk Children with CP may experience a range of functional limitations as a result of loss of trunk control and movement imbalance Balance is defined as the postural control elements which enable a child to safely execute daily tasksBecause maintaining stability is necessary for all movements low balance control is one of the extreme common causes of unsafe walking or reaching function So core stability training is preferred to maintain position and movement of body core Stability training involves the abdomen muscles and pelvic and shoulder muscles which maintain postural alignment and allow movements of extremities Postural control is mainly for motion and depends on these muscles for stability and endurance Components of core stability include strength endurance balancend the related activity of the back abdominal and pelvic muscles The core muscles act like one block to keep the body stable during static state and with extremity motion CP children lack the ability to distribute the load that is body weight appropriately during static balance and transfer the body weight adequately from one supporting limb to another during dynamic balance tasks Children with diplegic CP are characterized by impairment of motor control in the lower extremities more than in the upper extremities
Statement of the problem This study will be conducted to answer the following research questionIs there any significant effect of core stability exercises on standing balance and gait in Diplegic cerebral palsy children Purpose of the study The purpose of this study is to study the effect of core stability training on standing balance and gait in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy children
Significance of the study Spasticity muscle contraction bony malformations loss of selective motor control and muscle weakness are potential factors that interfere with normal gait patterns in diplegic CP Recent studies have found that muscle weakness limits motor function in children with CP more than spasticity Therefore strengthening weak muscles is es-sential for spasticity management to improve the func-tion of diplegic CPBalance disorder is a serious problem for children with diplegic CP and this can make it difficult to achieve and maintain equilibrium Children with diplegic CP have reduced neuromotor perceptual func-tion inadequate stance stability in different sensory settings slow anticipatory response and inaccurate pre-paratory activation
The term of core stability explains the capacity to control the position and movement of the central portion of the body Core stability training targets the muscles deep within the abdomen that attach to the spine pelvis and shoulders that help in the preservation of proper posture and provide the basis for movements of extremities in a coordinated manner Spinal stability is essential for the production of movement and relies on the core muscles to acquire sufficient strength power and endurance The core has illustrated by researchers as a power-house for initiating limb movement or as a double-walled cylinder or box in which the abdominals act as the front of the house the paraspinals serve as the back the diaphragm serves as the roof and the musculature of the hip girdle and pelvic floor create the 2 basement of the house
