Spastic Cerebral Palsy
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Spastic Cerebral Palsy focused on measuring Cerebral palsy, Post Isometric Relaxation, Hamstring Spasticity
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Children with spastic cerebral palsy
- Diplegic cerebral palsy
- well oriented
- Spastic hamstrings with Ashworth score +2 or +3
Exclusion Criteria:
- Children with flaccid and mixed cerebral palsy
- Quadriplegic and hemiplegic cerebral palsy

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
Post isometric relaxation - Group I
Eccentric Muscle contraction - Group II
Group I will receive post isometric relaxation techniques in order to reduce hamstring spasticity. This technique induces relaxation and decreases spasticity in muscles Post isometric relaxation (3 sets of 10 repetitions ,1 session in a day, 30 minutes, 4 days a week for 6 weeks.) Stretching Exercises (10 reps 3sets) hold for 2 sec
Eccentric Muscle contraction lengthens the spastic muscles and enhance joint flexibility. Hot Pack for (10 MINTS) Eccentric stretching (3 sets of 10 repetitions ,1 session in a day, 30 minutes, 4 days a week for 6 weeks.) Stretching Exercise(10 reps 3sets) hold for 2 sec In both experimental groups PIR and Eccentric stretching is applied on hamstring to
