“…The task-oriented training resulted in the overall stability index improved by 40.77%, anteroposterior index improved by 36.97%, and mediolateral stability index improved by 27.93% in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsied children. The findings are in agreement with other reports stating that taskoriented training is highly recommended for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy who suffer from balance problems [21]. our results are also supported by research presenting a significant positive effect on balance among cerebral palsied children who conformed to a training program including functional mobility exercises, such as sit-tostand, step-up, and walking downstairs [29,30].…”

“…Some authors concluded that task-oriented training was effective in improving mobility and balance among spastic diplegic children [17][18][19]. others reported that task-oriented training was an effective and feasible strategy for improving the mobility function and postural stability of children with cerebral palsy [20,21]. despite these conclusions, relatively few studies have examined the effect of task-oriented training on improving balance in hemiplegic cerebral palsied children.…”

IntroductionA large majority of hemiplegic cerebral palsy children demonstrate poor balance, which leads to poor gait and impaired reaching movements as the maintenance of stability is critical to all movements. Various approaches and strategies are used to improve balance; task-oriented training is one of them. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of task-oriented training on balance in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsied children.MethodsOverall, 30 spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy children who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into 2 equal groups (control and study group). The control group received a selected therapeutic exercise program for 90 min. The study group received the same program for 60 min and task-oriented training for 30 min. The total treatment provided for both groups was 90 min/day, 3 days/week for 4 successive months. Baseline and post-treatment assessment of each child with regard to overall, anteroposterior, and mediolateral stability indices was performed by using the Biodex Balance System.ResultsChildren in both groups showed significant improvements in post-treatment mean values of all measured variables when compared with the pre-treatment mean values (p < 0.05). Significant improvement was observed in favour of the study group when comparing the post-treatment mean values of both groups.ConclusionsTask-oriented training is a useful tool that can be applied in improving balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Objective: To determine the impacts of functional training versus conventional training on posture control and functional mobility in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy children. Method: The randomised clinical trial was conducted at the Rehab Cure physiotherapy centre, Lahore, Pakistan, from January to September 2020, and comprised children of either gender aged 4-14 years, diagnosed with cerebral palsy, gross motor functional classification system level II or III, and no mental retardation. The subjects were randomised into conventional therapy group A and functional training group B. Intensity of exercises was gradually increased each week, staring from 10 reps to 20 reps. The subjects received treatment 3 times a week for 8 weeks, and each session lasted 45-60 min. Paediatric Balance Scale, Trunk Control Measurement Scale, Five Times Sit to Stand Test and Timed-Up-and-Go test were used at baseline and post-intervention. Data was analysed using SPSS 21. Results: Of the 14 subjects, there were 7(50%) in each of the two groups. Overall, there were 8(57.14%) males and 6(42.86%) females with a mean age of 7.57±1.86 years. Significant improvement was noted in both groups post-intervention (p<0.05), but intergroup differences were not significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Both functional training and conventional therapy significantly improved postural control and functional mobility in spastic cerebral palsy children, but intergroup differences were not significant.

“…it was similarly reported that ToET was used to improve mobility function [6] and balance [6,25] in children with CP. Furthermore, another study revealed that an 8-week task-oriented training that was focused on strengthening the lower extremities led to a significant improvement in the mobility function and postural stability of children with CP [41]. on the contrary, Crompton et al [29] found that group-based lower-limb ToET did not produce a significant improvement in the walking distance after the intervention or at follow-up, probably because the group-based training did not use a customized training load for each participant, hence the subjects may not have achieved the individualized training goals.…”

Introduction. To evaluate the effects of task-oriented exercise training program (ToET) on the functional performance (mobility and walking efficiency) of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods. overall, 46 children with CP were recruited from outpatient units of the physiotherapy clinics of Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital, and a school for children with disabilities. They were randomly assigned to the ToET group (n = 23) and the control group (CG) (n = 23). Children in CG practised conventional physiotherapy. Each group trained twice weekly for 12 weeks. Mobility and walking efficiency were assessed with a mobility questionnaire and 10-meter walk test, respectively, at baseline, after 6th and 12th weeks, and after 6 weeks of follow-up. data were analysed with repeated measures ANoVA, t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Friedman's test, with < 0.05. Results. A total of 39 children with CP completed the study, 19 in CG and 20 in ToET group. The between-group scores of mobility (ToET: 69.15 ± 17.32; CG: 67.03 ± 10.49) and walking efficiency (ToET: 0.63 ± 0.2 m/s; CG: 0.63 ± 0.19 m/s) were not different at baseline and at the 6 th week (p > 0.05). At the 12 th week, there were significant between-group differences in mobility (ToET: 86.16 ± 7.20; CG: 71.09 ± 13.58) and walking efficiency (ToET: 1.00 ± 0.29 m/s; CG: 0.78 ± 0.28 m/s) (p < 0.05). The within-group scores of walking efficiency and mobility increased in both ToET and CG (p < 0.005 for both comparisons). Conclusions. ToET is an effective intervention to improve functional performance of children with CP.
