BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the motor control centers of the developing brain and can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth, or after birth up to about age three. Resulting in limits in movement and posture causing activity limitation. When people walk on a split-belt treadmill that moves each leg at a different speed, there is an immediate reaction such that the slower leg spends more time in stance and the faster leg spends less time. This reaction persists during split-belt walking and immediately reverses when the belts are returned to normal treadmill conditions (i.e., the belts are tied at the same speed).
METHOD: The study is quasi-experimental of Twenty samples were taken for this study. This study was conducted in the outpatient department of physiotherapy, at Vinayaka Mission’s Medical College Hospital. Salem. All subjects underwent Pretest measurements for cadence using a stopwatch. The number of steps walked in a minute was calculated using a stopwatch and this was taken as the pretest measurement. After the Pre-test, the subjects received split-belt treadmill training for 15 days. Post-test measurements were similarly taken on the 15th day as the pre-test measurements.
RESULT: The ‘t’ calculated value of 11.96 was matched with the ‘t’ table value of 2.093 at a 5% level of significance and found that the ‘t’ calculated value is greater than the ‘t’ table value. There is a significant improvement in cadence following split-belt treadmill training in Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study make us conclude that split-belt treadmill training is effective in improving the cadence of hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
