Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Brain lesions cause cerebral palsy, a chronic condition that affects movement, posture, and balance. Its causes range in age from pregnancy to postpartum, and they can impact the neurological, musculoskeletal, and sensory systems. This causes problems with balance, movement, and posture. It is essential to intervene early for improved life quality. Maintaining a constant center of gravity within your support base is referred to as balance. Walking is putting one foot on the ground at all times and lifting and lowering each foot in turn. The stability of the trunk and core is necessary for muscle coordination and deliberate motions. A study compares the efficiency of trunk stabilization and core exercises to enhance balance and evaluates mobility changes, such as altered muscle strength, endurance, and gait, as a result of two treatment approaches.

Participants
Target number of participants: 24
Treatments
Experimental: Group A
For eight weeks, the experimental group in this study will engage in three sessions of thirty to forty-five minutes each, dedicated to core stability exercises that will challenge the muscles of the trunk and abdomen.
Experimental: Group B
In addition to receiving 25 minutes of conventional therapy, the subjects participated in a 30-minute trunk stabilization exercise program three days a week on non-consecutive days.~All tense muscles, including the hamstrings and calf muscles in the lower limb, can benefit from passive stretching exercises. First, it is done five times, then you work your way up to ten repetitions, stretch five times, and finally take five minutes to relax. Extensor muscle strengthening exercises for the back, hips, and knees (for 10 minutes).
