Abstract

Twenty hemiplegic cerebral palsy subjects with mean age of 9.33 years included in the study. As per the inclusion criteria, subjects were included after the ethical committee approval. Informed consent obtained to conduct the study. Twenty hemiplegic cerebral palsy subjects were assessed for fine motor function using HELP. The children were divided into two groups based on random sampling. Group 1: NDT, N = 10. Group 2: conventional physiotherapy N = 10. Outcome data Assessments were performed at baseline and after 12 sessions. Within group analysis revealed that there is a significant improvement in balance (p-value <0.0001) and reduction of fear of fall (p-value < 0.0001) in subjects with Parkinson’s disease after balance training. The correlation between the scores of Berg balance scale and fall efficacy scale are strongly negative (–0.921) before treatment and after treatment also there is a negative correlation (–0.699) but it is weak statistically.
