Abstract

Objectives: To compare the effects of Rood Inhibitory approach and Bobath Reflex Inhibiting pattern to improve Gross motor Function and reduce spasticity in Hemiplegic Children of Encephalitis. Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted comprising of 22 patients recruited from different clinics of Faisalabad. Participants from both genders, in age range from 08-12 years were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups. Treatment group A received Rood inhibitory approach and treatment group B received Bobath Reflex inhibiting pattern. Measurement of Modified Ashworth scale were recorded at pre-treatment and weekly for 4 weeks, while (GMFM-88 and GMFM- 66) was assessed at baseline and at end of 4th week. SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the data. Result: Mean age in Group A was 10.00+1.673 years and in Group B was 9.82+1.537 years. Total 11 were male and 11 were female. There was significant improvement in mean MAS score at 2nd week, 3rd week and 4th week post treatment readings (p value < 0.05). There was significant improvement in mean (GMFM-88 and GMFM- 66) at 4^th week post treatment readings (p value < 0.05).
