Sensory Walkway and Gait in Children With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy (SWGCP)
Effect of Sensory Walkway on Gait Parameters in Children With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
調査の概要
詳細な説明
This study will be conducted after approval from the Ethical Committee of the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, and will follow the ethical principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent will be obtained from the parents of all participating children.
The intervention involves the use of a structured sensory walkway composed of eight wooden foot boxes filled with different textured materials, including polyester fiberfill, cut plastic straws, foam beads, and kinetic sand. This setup is designed to provide continuous multimodal tactile stimulation during gait training to enhance sensory-motor integration, postural control, and gait performance. Children in the intervention group will perform reciprocal gait training while interacting with the sensory surfaces, accompanied by verbal feedback to facilitate sensory awareness and motor engagement.
Both groups will receive a traditional physical therapy program including stretching exercises, quadruped and kneeling activities, balance training, stepper exercises, and gait training on various surfaces and equipment.
Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), and statistical analysis will be performed using IBM SPSS software.

アクティブコンパレータ:Control Group - Conventional Physical Therapy
Participants in the control group will receive a conventional physical therapy program including stretching exercises for lower limb muscles, strengthening exercises, balance training, and gait training.
The program includes quadruped exercises, kneeling and half-kneeling positions, standing balance exercises using balance boards and beams, stepping exercises, and walking training using parallel bars and assistive devices.
Each session lasts 60 minutes and will be conducted three times per week for three consecutive months.

実験的:Study Group - Conventional Physical Therapy plus Sensory Walkway Training
Participants in the study group will receive conventional physical therapy including stretching, strengthening, balance exercises, and gait training.
In addition, they will undergo gait training on a sensory walkway consisting of wooden foot boxes filled with different textured materials to provide tactile stimulation.
Corresponding hand sensory boxes are placed along parallel bars to provide simultaneous upper limb sensory input.
Children will walk through the walkway while immersing their feet and hands in the textured materials and are encouraged to identify and describe textures to enhance sensory awareness.
The intervention aims to improve sensory-motor integration, postural control, balance, and gait parameters in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
Each session lasts 60 minutes and is performed three times per week for three months.

Participants in the study group will receive conventional physical therapy in addition to gait training on a sensory walkway.
The sensory walkway consists of a sequence of wooden foot boxes filled with different textured materials to provide tactile stimulation of the feet during walking.
Corresponding hand sensory boxes are placed along parallel bars to provide simultaneous upper limb sensory input.
This setup enables reciprocal sensory stimulation of upper and lower limbs during gait training.
Children will walk through the walkway in a controlled manner while immersing their feet and hands in the textured materials and are encouraged to identify and describe the textures to enhance sensory awareness.
The intervention aims to improve sensory-motor integration, postural control, balance, and gait parameters in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
Each session lasts 60 minutes and is performed three times per week for three months.
