COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)

Participants in the PNF group will undergo intensive training of the affected limbs for 20 minutes per day, 5 days a week, over a 4-week period. During therapy sessions, the unaffected limb will be constrained using a mitt or cast to encourage focused activation and strengthening of the affected side. The therapy will include repetitive movement patterns designed to enhance strength, flexibility, and coordination.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Spider Cage Therapy Group

This group will participate in therapy sessions within the Spider Cage for 20 minutes per day, 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. Interventions will involve weight-bearing exercises, movement facilitation, and balance training, utilizing the cage's elastic cords to support and stabilize posture. The goal is to improve gross motor skills, balance, and controlled movement.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Combined PNF and Spider Cage Therapy Group

Participants in this group will receive both PNF and Spider Cage Therapy, with integrated principles and techniques from both approaches. The intensity and duration will be consistent with the individual therapy groups, with sessions held for 20 minutes per day, 5 days a week, over 4 weeks. This combination is expected to enhance functional outcomes by targeting both strength/coordination and balance/postural control.
