Maze Balance Board Training Effects on Mobility and Motor Skills in Cognitively Impaired Children
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cognitive Impairment
In brief
The study will be a Randomized Controlled Trial including 22 children aged 6-10 years with deficits in functional mobility and gross motor skills. Participants will be randomly divided into an experimental group (n=11), receiving a seven-stage progressive Maze Balance Board protocol, and a control group (n=11), receiving conventional physical therapy. Both groups will undergo 30-minute sessions, three times per week, for 8 weeks. Eligible participants will be enrolled after guardian consent. Outcomes will be assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for cognition, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test for functional mobility, and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) for gross motor skills. Ethical approval will be obtained from Riphah International University, Lahore, and data will be analyzed using SPSS version 27.0.
