Effect of Vibratory Stimulation on Crouch Gait in Spastic Diplegic Children
Hadya Morice Ibrahim;
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of high and low frequency vibratory stimulation training programs and a specially designed exercise therapy on crouch gait pattern in spastic diplegic cerebral palsied children.
Sixty diplegic cerebral palsied children from both sexes (35 males and
25 females) ranging in age from three to six years participated in this study. They were classified randomly into three groups of equal numbers:
- Two study groups each included 20 patients.
- One control group included 20 patients.
Selection of the sample and evaluation of gait were conducted in the Specialized Pediatric Hospital, Cairo University Hospitals. Evaluation of the change in the degrees of lower limbs joints angles using video camera during the gait cycle, and evaluation of the temporal and distance gait parameters were determined for the three groups before and after three months of application of different treatment procedures.
The first study group received high frequency (100Hz) vibratory stimulation. While, the second study group received low frequency vibratory stimulation program (50Hz).
