Effects of Reflex Mediated Core Stability Exercise on Sensory Processing Skills and Gross Motor Function
Sponsor: Riphah International University
Summary
Current literature on DNS in CP primarily focuses on motor outcomes like postural control and balance. Therefore, there are fewer studies up to researcher's knowledge about DNS's impact on broad sensory processing skills in CP. The study will investigate the direct effect of reflex-mediated core stability exercises on a comprehensive range of sensory processing skills in children with CP.

Interventions
Reflex mediated core stability exercise
The exercises are progressed over the six weeks and include positions such as: * Supine Lying * Prone Position * Side Lying Position * Quadripod Position * Tripod Position * Squat
conventional therapy
Participants will be given 20 min of conventional therapy for 8 weeks, five times weekly. Therapy includes: Facilitatory techniques are used for gross motor control such as: * Quadruped activities * Crawling * Kneeling * Sitting * Walking It also incorporates exercises like: * Passive stretches for adductors, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calf muscles in both limbs (three repetitions with a 10-second hold). * Active and passive range-of-motion exercises for the lower limbs in sitting and supine positions (three sets with 10 repetitions).
