Summary
Summary:
 
 Inclusion Criteria:
 
 - Children aged four to eight years.
 
 - Grade of spasticity ranging from 1 to 1+ on the Modified Ashworth scale.
 
 - Classified as Level I or II on the Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS).
 
 - Ability to follow verbal commands and instructions.
 
 Exclusion Criteria:
 
 - Previous neurological or orthopedic surgery in the lower extremities.
 
 - Botox injection in the lower extremities within the past six months.
 
 - Fixed deformity in the joints of the lower limb.
 
 - Genu recarvatum secondary to surgery.
 
 - Severe hearing and visual defects.
 
 Materials for Subject Selection and Evaluation:
 
 - Modified Ashworth Scale for muscle tone assessment.
 
 - Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) for functional activity
 classification.
 
 - Digital goniometer for measuring the angle of knee hyperextension.
 
 - Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester for quantifying muscle strength.
 
 Methods:
 
 - Assessment of muscle tone using the Modified Ashworth Scale, evaluating spasticity in
 calf muscles and hip/knee extensors.
 
 - Evaluation of gross motor function using the GMFCS.
 
 - Assessment of genu recarvatum using a digital goniometer.
 
 - Assessment of muscle strength using the Lafayette Manual Muscle Tester, focusing on
 hamstrings and tibialis anterior muscles.
 
 - Assessment of range of motion in the knee joint using Kinovea software.
 
 - Treatment procedures involving physical therapy sessions with a combination of exercises
 and interventions tailored to each group (Group A and Group B).
 
 Group A Treatment:
 
 - Designed physical therapy program combined with pulley therapy for muscle strengthening.
 
 Group B Treatment:
 
 - Designed physical therapy program combined with functional electrical stimulation during
 walking on a treadmill for muscle stimulation.
 
 The interventions in both groups aim to improve muscle strength, range of motion, and
 functional abilities in children with cerebral palsy.
