    Effectiveness of Task Oriented Circuit Training On Functional Mobility and Balance in Cerebral Palsy

    This study examined the effectiveness of task-oriented circuit training versus conventional exercise for improving functional mobility and balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Thirty children were divided into two equal groups - one that received task-oriented circuit training and one that received conventional exercises. Both groups improved significantly, but the task-oriented circuit training group showed greater improvements in functional mobility as measured by the Timed Up and Go test and balance as measured by the Pediatric Balance Scale. The study suggests that task-oriented circuit training is more effective than conventional training for improving mobility and balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

    ABSTRACT

    Purpose: The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of task related circuit training on functional
    mobility and balance in children with spastic diplegic type of cerebral palsy.

    Methodology: This was an experimental study of 30 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy
    having a GMFM level of I or II. All the subjects were enrolled in an identical subgroup and divided
    into two equal groups (15 patient in each group) one experimental and another control group.
    Experimental group did task oriented circuit training while control group performed conventional
    exercise program.

    We assessed the Functional mobility of lower extremity and balance of all patients by Timed Up and
    Go test and Pediatric balance scale respectively.

    Results: Result shows that both the groups improved significantly but task oriented circuit training
    group improved more than the conventional training group.

    Conclusions: This study suggests that task oriented circuit training is more effective as compared to
    the conventional training for the functional mobility and balance in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy
    children.

    INTRODUCTION The Common Impairments Due To Cerebral palsy are

    Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental About 70 to 80 percent of cerebral palsy children


    condition beginning in early childhood and persisting have spastic clinical features like increased deep

    disorder is 2 to 2.5 per 1000 live births. Cerebral palsy weakness and a characteristic scissoring gait with toe
    results in lifelong disability in children and has walking4.
