The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of plyometric training versus strengthening exercise on quadriceps and hamstring muscles and quality of life and selective motor control of lower limb of children with hemiplegia.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of plyometric training versus strengthening exercise on quadriceps and hamstring muscles and quality of life and selective motor control of lower limb of children with hemiplegia. Hand-Held dynamometer is used to assess the muscle strength of quadriceps and hamstring Selective control assessment of lower extremity scale is used to assess selective motor control of lower limb. Peds Ql scale is used to assess quality of life of the children. The methods of assessment are valid and reliable.
