Interventions

  • functional progressive resistive exercise and designed physical therapy program — OTHER
    specially designed physical therapy program in addition to functional progressive resistive exercises for 60 min (30 min designed P.T program and other 30 min for brain gym exercises), 3 sessions/ week for 3 successive months. 6 functional progressive resistive exercises will be selected: 1. Sit-to-Stand Exercise 2. Step-Up Exercise 3. Squats 4. Lunges 5. Stair Climbing 6. Loaded Walking
  • designed physical therapy program — OTHER
    conventional physical therapy program including reinforcement of the normal motor development, reflex inhibiting patterns, postural reaction, stretching, strengthening exercises, and gait training was applied to children in the control group

Study Details

Functional Progressive Resistive Exercise (FPRE) is a strengthening approach that combines functional movement activities with progressively increased resistance. It involves performing task-oriented exercises, such as sit-to-stand, stair climbing, and walking-related activities, while gradually increasing the load to enhance muscle strength, endurance, and functional performance. FPRE is widely used in rehabilitation programs to improve mobility and the ability to perform activities of daily living in various populations, including children with neurological and musculoskeletal disorders.
