Detailed Description

Fortypatients with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study.

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Multisensory environment stimulation therapy, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, and multidirection reach test

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: study group
Other: Multisensory environment stimulation therapy
A Multi Sensory Environment is a dedicated space or room where sensory stimulation can be controlled (intensified or reduced), presented in isolation or combination, packaged for active or passive interaction

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
biodex balance system
Time Frame: three months
EVALUATION OF POSTURAL BALANCE USINGTHE BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM
three months
The Pediatric Balance Scale
Time Frame: three months
used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points.
three months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
multidirection reach test
Time Frame: three months
The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) measures balance and the limits of stability in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions by testing how far an individual can voluntarily reach forward, to the right, to the left, and lean backward, while standing with their feet flat on the ground
three months
