About

Effect of FES Versus No FES intervention. A statistically significant between-group difference in activity in favor of FES was reported for all 3 studies, immediately after the intervention period. This difference represented a 30% to 32% greater increase in activity compared with no FES intervention. A follow-up measurement was reported for 1 study, but no data were reported.

Effect of FES Versus Activity Training. Both studies reported a statistically nonsignificant between-group difference in activity compared with activity training, immediately after the intervention period. One study included a follow-up measurement, but no data were reported

Full description

This study will be conducted at the Outpatient clinics, Faculty of Physical

Therapy Kafrelsheikh University to prove the effect of core stability exercises on standing , balance and gait in diplegic CP children.

the children will be randomly allocated by simple random method via choosing one of two wrapped cards representing the two treatment groups, which are: Group (A): will receive core stability exercises in addition to the designed physiotherapy program.

Group (B): will receive the designed physiotherapy program only . Inclusion criteria

Children will be included in the study if they fulfil the following criteria:

1. A medical diagnosis of diplegic CP made by paediatricians or pediatric neurologists.

2. Children with spasticity grades ranged from 1 to 1+ according to MAS.

3. Their age range from 4 to 10 years.

4. Children were level I or II on the Gross Motor Function Classifcation System (GMFCS) 5.No orthopedic surgeries.

Exclusion criteria

Children will be excluded from the study if:

1. They had a permanent deformity (bony or soft tissue contractures).
2. Children having visual or auditory defects.
3. Children who had Botox application to the lower extremity in the past 6 months or had undergone a previous surgical intervention to ankle and knee.
4. A history of epileptic seizure and any diagnosed cardiac or orthopaedic disability that may prevent the use of assessment methods.
5. Children who are absent in two successive sessions.
