About this trial
PURPOSE:
The current study aims to:
* Determine the effect of multisensory motor imagery training on muscle performance including (peak torque, work, power) of trunk and knee flexors and extensors in children with spastic diplegia. * Determine the effect of multisensory motor imagery training on coordination, strength and agility in children with spastic diplegia.
BACKGROUND: Multisensory motor imagery training has an effect on muscle performance and coordination in children with spastic diplegia
HYPOTHESES: There will be no effect of multisensory motor imagery training on muscle performance, coordination and strength and agility in children with spastic diplegic CP.
RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there an effect of multisensory motor imagery training on coordination, strength and agility in children with spastic diplegia?
