Condition: Cerebral Palsy Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy Spasticity Gait Disorders, Neurologic Postural Balance Impairment · Sponsor: Kırıkkale University
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the acute effects of local vibration applied to the spastic medial gastrocnemius muscle on balance and spatiotemporal gait parameters in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Children aged 4 to 18 years with spasticity levels of 1 to 2 on the Modified Ashworth Scale and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-II will be included. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a treatment group receiving local vibration or a placebo group. Assessments will be conducted before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after the intervention. Balance will be assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Pediatric Reach Test, Tandem Stance Test, and Pediatric Berg Balance Scale. Spatiotemporal gait parameters will be measured using a digital gait analysis system. The results will provide insights into the immediate effectiveness of localized vibration therapy in pediatric cerebral palsy rehabilitation.
