Author(s): Amany I. Sabra*, Abdelaziz Ali Sherief, Osama A El-Agamy and Sara Y. Elsebahy
Background: Hemiparetic cerebral-palsy (CP) is a condition characterized by muscle weakness or paralysis on one side of the body. Purpose: To compare the short- and immediate effects of functional-strength-training (FST) and Whole-bodyvibration (WBV) on children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy's balance Methods: This Randomized Clinical Trial included Thirty-children split into two groups. Group A (n= 15) had Received 25-minute whole body vibration training session at a frequency of 20 to 30 Hz and an amplitude of 2 mm. Group B (n= 15) underwent gait training and functional strength training for 30-minutes. Results: There was a noteworthy variation in both groups' gross motor function measure and biodex balancing system performance after treatment compared to pretreatment (P < .. Read More»
