PURPOSE:
To investigate the correlations between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia.
BACKGROUND:
Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture
HYPOTHESES:
There is no correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia.
RESEARCH QUESTION:
Is there a correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia?
This is an observational correlational study. SCALE will be used to assess selective motor control of lower extremity. GMFM-88 and WEE FIM will be used to assess functional ability. MAS will be used to assess degree of spasticity
