Effect of Body Weight Support Treadmill Training Background and purpose. This study was done to assess the effect of a treadmill training program with partial body weight support on gait parameters in hemiplegics cerebral palsied children. Subjects. The study included twenty six patients from both sexes, with age ranged from 9 to 15 years of age (Mean age10.5,SD=2.8) (14 males and 10 females), the mean height and weight were 1.45m (SD=0.14) and 37.38Kg (SD=13.66), respectively. They were recruited from schools, clinics and hospitals in Shoubra, Cairo area. according to certain criteria. Methods. Patients were divided randomly into two equal groups, study group and control group. The control group was exposed to the traditional method of treatment for gait training only. The study group received a program of body weight support treadmill gait training in addition to the traditional method of treatment for gait training, Treatment for both groups continued for 12 successive weeks, 3 times per week. Evaluation was performed before and after the suggested period of treatment, Utilizing gait evaluation parameters, including step length (st/cm.), stride length (str/cm.), cadence (Cs/min.), Velocity (Vcm/sec.) and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test Motor Proficiency Subtest 2 for balance. Results. The results at the end of the treatment period showed highly significant difference between the control and the study groups (p<0.001).in stride length, cadence recorded a high significant difference between both groups and, gait velocity and balance. The comparison test between the control group and the study groups reported a highly significant difference in all measured parameters (p<0.001). Conclusion. This study demonstrated that body supported treadmill training is an effective and safe measure in improving gait parameters of spastic hemiplegics children.on Gait Parameters in Spastic Hemiplegics Children. |
