Abstract :

AIM OF THE STUDY: Background and Purpose: The Bobath neuro developmental treatment approach advised against the use of resistive exercise, as proponents felt that increased effort would increase spasticity. The purpose of this study was to test the premise that the performance of exercises with maximum efforts will increase spasticity in children with spastic diplegic cereal palsy (CP). OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY To study the effects of Quadriceps femoris strengthening on spasticity in children with spastic diplegic cereal palsy METHODOLOGY SUBJECTS: Thirty children with spastic diplegic cereal palsy ranging age from 5 to 8 years participated in a Quadriceps femoris strengthening program. DURATION : 6 weeks DATA ANALYSIS: The pre and post test data has been collected from the subjects. The data has to be analyzed in statistics using the paired t test and simple t test. RESULTS There were no changes in spasticity following Quadriceps femoris strengthening exercise . i.e spasticty has not increased after Quadriceps femoris strengthening exercise . CONCLUSION The results do not support the premise that exercises with maximum efforts increase spasticity in CP with spastic diplegic.
