Interventions
BEHAVIORAL

Robot-assisted gait training using Lokomat

This intervention involves robotic-assisted gait training with the Lokomat device. Sessions will last 40 minutes, twice a week for 6 weeks. The intervention targets lower extremity motor function in children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. The robotic system provides adjustable support and real-time feedback to improve gait patterns and mobility.

BEHAVIORAL

Hydrotherapy

Participants will engage in supervised aquatic therapy including structured exercises in a therapeutic pool. Each session lasts 40 minutes, twice a week, for 6 weeks. Exercises include water walking, floating resistance training, jumping, and balance activities designed for children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy to improve strength, coordination, and functional mobility.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Physiotherapy

This intervention includes 20 minutes of faradic electrical stimulation and 20 minutes of therapeutic exercises such as stretching, positioning, range of motion, and gait training. Administered twice a week for 6 weeks. The protocol aims to support neuromuscular activation and improve gait and mobility in children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
