Methods Conclusions
A comparative study on continuous vs. Intermittent
Strengthening exercises on children
With cerebral palsy to improve the functional abilities
Refrences
Results
30 children with
Spastic Diplegic
Cerebral Palsy
were selected by
convenient
sampling
GMFCS level I and II
Children underwent
cont. strengthening
program had shown
statistically significant
change in functional
outcome measured by
10 meter walk test
(10MWT) (P<0.05)
Improvement on
functional abilities
and the walking
speed in children
who underwent
continuous
strengthening
exercise program.

CP is a group of
disorders due to non-
progressive damage
to developing foetal
brain1. The clinical
hallmark is abnormal
motor control that
results in limitation of
activity2,3,4..
spastic diplegia is
the most prevalent
motor in co
ordination that
impairs functional
abilities mainly in the
lower extremities3
