“…The proportion of degeneration in the children treated with reciprocal electrical stimulation improved significantly and this come in agreement with Badawy and Ibrahim (22) , who said that the NMES has been shown to increase voluntary muscle activation and prevent muscular disuse atrophy in a variety of populations, including those with cerebral palsy. The most likely explanation is that NMES has the same effect as voluntary muscle contraction in temporarily increasing muscle metabolism and blood flow, facilitating more spinal motor neuron pools, and stimulating blood flow to atrophied muscles to deliver growth factors and nutrients necessary to improve muscle structure and function.…”

Background: Erb's palsy is a disorder in which the upper section of the brachial plexus (C5, C6) that innervates the arm is destroyed, resulting in an adducted, internally rotated shoulder and a pronated forearm, commonly referred to as "waiter's tip position". The purpose of this study was to detect the effect of reciprocal electrical stimulation in Erb's palsy children. Patients and methods: A total of 30 Erb's palsy children of both sexes participated in this study with age ranging from 1 to 3 years; they were divided randomly into two groups of equal number (15 children in each group). Group A received a specially designed physical therapy program only. Group B received the same specially designed physical therapy program given to group A in addition to reciprocal electrical stimulation for biceps and triceps muscles. Electroneurography technique was used for measuring the percentage of degeneration of the biceps brachii muscle. A computerized electromyography apparatus was used before and after treatment for both groups. Results: There was improvement in functional recovery of the upper limb in Erb's palsy children of both groups, but in favor of Group B. Conclusion: Reciprocal electrical stimulation has an effect on functional recovery of the upper limb in Erb's palsy children.

“…Group I: The 27 children (14 boys and 13 girls) in this group received conventional physical therapy program based on neurodevelopmental approach. The physical therapy program focused on reinforcement of normal motor development, facilitation of postural stability and balance, stimulation of righting and equilibrium reactions to improve postural mechanism, closed and open environment gait training, and maintenance of soft tissue and joint mobility training [19].…”

Background: Conventional physical therapy has been used in children with cerebral palsy aiming for improving motor abilities and functional independence. Resistance training is now commonly used in clinical practice in children and adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. Purpose: To investigate and compare the effects of functional strength training versus conventional physical therapy in children with cerebral palsy. Methods: Fifty-three children with spastic diplegia age ranged from 7 to 11 years were included. They were randomly assigned to either group I (conventional physical therapy) or group II (functional strength training). The training was conducted for 90 minutes three-times a week for 6 successive months. Selective voluntary motor control, gross motor function and functional balance were assessed before and immediately after the intervention using selective control assessment of lower extremity, gross motor function measure and pediatric balance scale. Results: The pre-treatment comparison showed non-significant difference between the two groups in all measured variables. Within group comparison showed significant improvement in the mean values of selective motor control, gross motor function and functional balance in the two groups. While posttreatment comparison revealed significant greater improvements in the group II compared with the group I (P<0.05). Conclusion: These outcomes indicated that functional strength training is likely more effective than conventional physical therapy in improving selective voluntary motor control, gross motor function and functional balance.

Effects of whole-body vibration on quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled study

et al. 2021

Background Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) enormously affects the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. It causes weakness in the affected lower-extremity muscles in addition to muscle imbalance and inadequate power production, especially in the ankle plantar-flexor and knee extensor muscles. It also causes anomalous delayed myoelectrical action of the medial hamstring. A whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise can diminish muscle spasticity and improve walking speed, muscle strength, and gross motor function without causing unfavorable impacts in adults suffering from CP. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the impacts of WBV training associated with conventional physical therapy on the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic CP. Results The post-intervention values of the quadriceps and hamstring muscle force, endurance, and power were significantly higher than the pre-intervention values for both groups (p = 0.001). The post-intervention values of the study group were significantly higher than the control group (quadriceps force, p = 0.015; hamstring force, p = 0.030; endurance, p = 0.025; power, p = 0.014). Conclusion The 8 weeks of WBV training that was added to traditional physical therapy was more successful in improving the quadriceps and hamstring muscle strength, endurance, and power in children with hemiparetic CP when compared to traditional physical therapy alone.
