Virtual Reality Vs Postural Control Training in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: Amira Mahmoud Abdelkader Mohamed
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if there is difference between the effect of virtual reality and postural control training on balance and gait in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Whether there is an effect of Virtual reality training on balance and gait in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy? * Whether there is an effect of Biodex training as a method of postural control on balance and gait in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy? Researchers will compare the effect of Virtual reality and Biodex as a method of postural control training on balance and gait in children with hemiplegic CP. Participants will: * Receive the intervention for 2 months. * Visit the clinic 3 times per week for sessions

Interventions
Virtual reality
Wii fit plus will be used for balance training, which consist of a wireless handheld pointing device, the detection of movement and acceleration being in three dimensions by a motion sensor attached to a television. The virtual image is seen on the television screen that mimics the participant's movements. These games encourage the interaction of participants to play repetitively (Lohse, et al.,2014).
Postural control training
The Biodex Stability System (BSS), is a unique balance assessment and training device. It is designed to assess the neuromuscular control and to stimulate joint mechanoreceptors (Hsue et al.,2009). It measures the ability of the subject to control the platform's angle of tilt, which is noted as a stability index and has high acceptable reliability (Hinman, 2009). It consists of a movable balance platform that provides up to 20 degrees of surface tilt in a360-degree range of motion. the platform is free to move about the AP and ML axes simultaneously (Figure 8) (Akhbari et al., 2007).
