Strength Training in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Stretch-shortening Cycle Exercises: an Efficient Training Model for Optimizing Gait-symmetry and Balance Capabilities in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
研究概览
详细说明
Forty-two children with UCP were recruited from the Physical Therapy Outpatient Clinic of Collee of Applied Medical Sciences, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, King Khalid Hospital, and a tertiary referral hospital, Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Their age ranged between 8 and 12 years, were functioning at levels I or II according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System, and had spasticity level 1 or 1+ per the Modified Ashworth Scale. Children were excluded if they had fixed deformities, underwent neuromuscular or orthopedic surgery in the last 12 months, submitted to BOTOX injection in the past 6 months, attentional neglect, cardiopulmonary problems preventing them from performing high-intense exercise training.
Outcome measures
- Gait-symmetry Indices: Gait symmetry indices (Spatial and temporal) were measured through a 3D motion analysis system.
- Balance capabilities: several aspects of balance including sensory organization, reactive balance, and rhythmic weight shift were tested through a Pro Balance Master system.
The control and SSC groups received a standard rehabilitation program for 45 minutes, twice a week for eight consecutive weeks. The program comprised advanced balance training, and gait training exercises, postural and flexibility exercises, strength training exercises. Additionally, the SSC group received an SSC exercise program for 30 minutes, twice/week for eight weeks per the National Strength and Conditioning Association guidelines and American Academy of Pediatrics safety standards. The SSC program consisted of ten unilateral and bilateral lower limb plyometrics in the form of hopping/bounding/jumping activities. The SSC training was preceded by a warm-up for 5 minutes and ended up with a 5-min cooldown.
