Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control Group  Control group will include 12 weeks of conventional therapy with supervised sessions for 2-3 days/week for 60 minutes, including breathing exercises, exercises specific to gait, balance, strength, flexibility, and improving walking capacity 
Intervention  Sukshma Vyayama Ashwa Sanchalanasana Virbhadrasana I and II Uttakasana Utkat Konasana Paschimottasana Trikonasana Ugrasan Naukasana Annulom-Vilom and Bhramari  Interventional group will be provided 12weeks (three sessions/week) supervised Yoga sessions for 2-3 days/week for 60 minutes. The Yoga Asanas will include Sukshma Vyayama Ashwa Sanchalanasana Virbhadrasana I and II Uttakasana Utkat Konasana Paschimottasana Trikonasana Ugrasan Naukasana Annulom-Vilom and Bhramari. In the initial 4 weeks, the participants will perform 3 repetitions each asana with 15 seconds hold/repetition. In the 5th to 8th week based on the tolerance and performance the participants will be given progression dose i.e. each asana will be performed 4 times with 30 second hold/repetition. A similar progression will be followed in the final 9-12 weeks based on tolerance and performance

Brief Summary  

This study will compare the effects of Yoga techniques and conventional physiotherapy on gait variables, walking capacity, balance, lower extremity strength, and flexibility in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy. The study will be conducted for 12 weeks 2-3 day/week supervised program for 60 minutes. The intervention will be Yoga techniques and conventional physiotherapy for the experimental group and conventional physiotherapy for the control group. The primary outcome measure for Gait will be Movement analysis profile Kinematics and kinetics of gait in terms of joint angles, moments, forces, the center of pressure trajectory, and maximum amplitude of muscle. The secondary outcome measures will be 1. 6-Minute Walk Test for walking capacity 2. Pediatric Balance Scale for balance 3. Power track handheld dynamometer for lower extremity strength 4. Goniometer measurements for lower extremity flexibility. Pre and Post-intervention results will be analyzed.
