Effects of Power Ball on Grip Strength in Children With Developmental Delay.

Effects of Power Ball on Grip Strength in Children With Developmental Delay.

Developmental delay refers to the child who does not perform the normal milestones as other children accomplish in the same age within time or somehow late but can achieve them. While if the delay is found in two or more than two areas of the developmental skill it is known as Global Developmental Delay (GDD). It is divided into mild, moderate and severe developmental delay contributed by many other causes like prenatal, perinatal, postnatal and socioeconomic factors. The objective of the study is to determine the effects of power ball on grip strengthening children with developmental delay. In this study, we will randomly assigned 28 children into two groups, One group will be control group getting the conventional treatment (isometric hand grip training exercises) and other will be experimental group getting the power ball training with conventional treatment. During the sessions hand held dynamometer is use to check the grip strength. By using power ball grip strength in children with Developmental Delay can be improved.
