Comparative Effect of Functional Task Training Versus Function Therapy Program

November 9, 2023 updated by: Riphah International University

Comparative Effect of Functional Task Training Versus Function Therapy Program on Gross Motor Function, Range of Motion and Balance in Children With Cerebral Palsy

cerebral palsy is the brain injury or brain malformation occur before, during and immediately after birth (while brain is still under development) and its effect muscle tone, reflexes, posture coordination gross and fine motor skill and oral motor functioning. The functional training is the physiotherapist and occupational therapy rehabilitation technique focus on strength and function of musculoskeletal system and its help the patients to making their daily life activity easier. The functional task training program consisted of non-walking (i-iii) and walking (iv-v) activities: (i) standing from a seated position; (ii) reaching for an object overhead, which required ankle plantar flexion from the standing position, and returning to the initial position with the heel leaning on the floor; (iii) stepping on and off a bench; (iv) walking up and down stairs; and (v) walking on flat surfaces and ramps. Children with cerebral palsy frequently receive. functional therapy programs the children participated in activities pertaining to everyday skills such as eating, playing, communication, and mobility. To optimize the child's opportunities to practice towards the goals, parents and preschool staff were guided on efficiently encouraging the child. Support and instructions from the professional to help them to develop better motor skills and increase independence in tasks like self-care, play, and recreational activities.so the study aimsto improve balance, gross motor function, and range of motion by using these functional training task and functional therapy program. In my study compare the compare task training versus functional therapy programsm on gross motor function, range of motion on, and balance in cerebral palsy children.

Study Overview

Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The randomized control trial will be conducted through convenient sampling. There will be two group the experimental group will receive functional task training. according to GMFS, Pediatric balance scale and goniometer to assess the gross motor function, ROM and balance in cerebral palsy, while control group will receive functional therapy program (bobath technique) to improve gross motor function, ROM and balance in cerebral palsy. The duration of the treatment will be 8 weeks. Gross motor function, pediatric balance scale, and goniometer will be used as outcome measure. Data will be analyzed on spss version 29, normality of the data will be checked and test will be applied according to the normality of the data either in will be parametric test or nonparametric based on the normality

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Active Comparator: Functional task training Group.
In this group patients will performed functional task training program was performed including non-walking (i-iii) and walking activities: (i) standing from a seated position; (ii) reaching for an object overhead, which required ankle plantar flexion from the standing position, and returning to the initial position with the heel leaning on the floor; (iii) stepping on and off a bench; (iv) walking up and down stairs; and (v) walking on flat surfaces and ramps. for 8 weeks, 50 minutes per day, 3 times per week. The individual session lasted approximately 10 minutes including the rest intervals.
Other: Functional task training and functional therapy program
Functional task training group this will receive walking and no walking activities

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Goniomete
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It will measure range of motion
8 weeks
Pediatric balance scale
Time Frame: 8 weeks
it is 14 items that measure the balance in the context of everyday task in pediatric population in 3 domain sitting standing and changing of position
8 weeks
Gross Motor Function Measure scale
Time Frame: 8 weeks
. The GMFM-88 item scores can be summed to calculate raw and percent scores for each of the five GMFM dimensions of interest selected goal areas and total GMFM-88 scores. The scoring system of the GMFM is a four-point scale divided into five categories (lying and rolling; sitting; crawling and kneeling; standing; walking, running)
