ABSTRACT
Background and Purpose: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive disorder of the brain that occurred during the fetal or developing infant. The movement and postural disorder that rise in the time of infancy or early life proceeding from brain injury. Brain injury is enduring moreover not able to revive however too early starting intervention, the more improvement can be made. The purpose of the study is combination of vojta therapy and bobath, is to facilitate the regulation or control of the body’s position and to stimulate coordinated muscle activity which is done by vojta and to inhibit the spasticity, to facilitate controlled motor activity which is done by bobath.
Objective: The aim of the study is to compare a combination of Vojta therapy and Bobath approach versus Stabilization exercises to improve balance on Spastic cerebral palsy.
Design: experimental study.
Method: Sampling of 30 subjects of age group 7 to 14years of both sexes are selected from the NEHRU MEMORIAL SAMPOORANIAMMAL SCHOOL FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED and nearby Trust schools for differently abled. Group A of 15 subjects receives Vojta and bobath approach, Group B of 15 subjects receives Pelvic stabilization exercises. Pre and post intervention were assessed by Pediatric balance scale and Modified Ashworth scale.
Result: Group A cerebral palsy children included in the study completed the 15 sessions of the vojta therapy and Bobath approach were re-evaluated at the three-month follow-up. The two-tailed P value is less than 0.0001, by conventional basis; this distinction gave thought to be exceedingly statistically significant.
Conclusion: we conclude that the combined application of a Vojta therapy and bobath has improvement of the body’s balance during movements (“postural coordination”) and spasticity reduction.
Key words: Vojta, Bobath, Pelvic stabilization exercise, Paediatric balance scale, Modified Ashworth scale.
