ABSTRACT:
This study was aimed to find the effectiveness of modified trunk dissociation Retrainer in improving gait and balance in subjects with developmental delay. The objective of this study was to find the difference between the pre-test and post-test values of gait and balance following trunk dissociation retraining. Sample size: 10 subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, study setting: OPD, Materials: Modified Trunk Dissociation Retrainer, Study design: Quasi experimental study, Sampling method: convenient sampling. Outcome measures: gait velocity and Paediatric Balance scale. Intervention was given for 15days, 5days/week. A baseline analysis of balance and gait was done before the intervention began. Three weeks of intervention was given to the subjects following which a post-test was conducted and the patients were asked to return after three weeks and the 2nd post-test was done to analyse the sustained effects of the intervention. Comparison between the mean values showed that there was significant difference between of post-test I and post-test II, hence, the results had sustained. Therefore, it was concluded that Modified Trunk Dissociation Retrainer (MTDR) is effective in improving balance and gait velocity in children with developmental delay.
