Methods: 12 CP children with cerebral palsy aged between 2 to 7 years and GMFCS level 1 and 2 were participated in intensive treadmill training for 5 days per week for 4 week duration after consent and ethical approval, were tested before and after protocol. Outcome measures included were GMFM-66 (dimension D and E), Pediatric balance scale (PBS), 6 minute walk test, Energy Expenditure Index (EEI) and 10 meter walk test. Results: Statistical analysis was done using SPSS and wilcoxon signed rank test as data were not normally distributed and Significant difference was found in all the outcome measures with p< 0.05. Conclusion: Intensive locomotor treadmill training was effective in all types of CP patients and it improves gait, balance and walking speed of cerebral palsy children.

Several treatment approaches in stroke rehabilitation are delivered in the form of-Bobath approach, Brunstorm approach, Motor Relearning Program, Task Oriented Approach, Functional Electrical Stimulation, EMG biofeedback etc. It is a Neuro-rehabilitation technique designed to remodulate cortical mechanisms of pain and has proved successful in phantom pain, stroke, and CRPS. In Mirror therapy, patients perform movements of the unaffected limb while watching its mirror reflection superimposed over the (unseen) affected limb, thus creating a visual illusion (and therefore positive feedback for the motor cortex) of the affected limb movement. Thus, the aim of the study was to find out the effect of mirror therapy on paretic upper limb in chronic stroke patients.
