Abstract |
: |
The purpose of this work was to assess the effect of Biofeedback training on controlling dynamic equines deformity in hemiplegic cerebral palsied children. The study included sixteen cerebral palsied children from both sexes (ten males and six females). Age of patients ranged from seven to nine years. They were selected from the Institute of Poliomyelitis and Physical Medicine in Imbaba, according to certain criteria. These children were randomly divided into two groups of equal number, control and study groups. The control group received traditional therapeutic exercises Program only, while the study group received a program of traditional therapeutic exercises in addition to Biofeedback training. The treatment was conducted for all patients in both groups for one hour/session, three times/week, one session/day, and for16 successive weeks. Evaluation was performed and compared before and after the suggested period of treatment, including, measuring of active range of motion of the ankle joints, static strength of dorsi-flexors, function ambulation, equines angle and strength deficits of ankle planter flexor muscles. The results of the study group displayed statistically significant improvements regarding mean values of static strength of dorsi- flexors muscles, active range of motion of ankle joints. On the other hand, results of the control group revealed non-significant changes in all measured parameters. Function ambulation showed statistically significant progress in both of the groups, but the biofeedback group was superior to the control group. The benefits afforded from this study indicate that Children with cerebral palsy and dynamic equinus deformities may benefit from biofeedback treatment for ambulation. |
