Pully System Exercise Role in Management of Spasticity

June 19, 2025 updated by: Sara Yousef Abdel Elglil Yousef Elsebahy, Kafrelsheikh University

Effect of Pully System Exercise in Management of Spasticity in Cerebral Palsy Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of pully system exercise in in management of spasticity in cerebral palsy children

Does pully system exercise has role in management of spasticity in cerebral palsy children ?

Participants will:

The participants assigned to the control group will receive a standard care program. This program is designed to provide basic supportive therapies without the specialized pulley system exercises

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: group 1
the l group will receive a standard care program.
Other: designed physical therapy , pully system exercise
Participants assigned to the intervention group will engage in a specially designed physical therapy program focusing on pulley system exercises. The program is scheduled to occur three times per week, which is frequent enough to potentially induce meaningful improvements while allowing adequate rest between sessions to prevent fatigue and overtraining
