Abstract
A patient with cerebral palsy was seen for physical therapy treatment for 12 sessions from 3110/15 to 5/08/15. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist. The patient was evaluated at the initial encounter with the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales to measure gross and fine motor delays, the Six Minute Walk Test to measure gait endurance, the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 to measure and predict the gross motor development, and the 10 Meter Walk Test to measure the gait velocity. Following the evaluation a plan of care was established. The main goals for the patient were to improve gait endurance, standing balance, gait speed, and functional mobility. Main interventions used were over-ground gait training including ascending and descending stairs, and treadmill training. The patient presented with improved gait endurance, had moderate improvement in his gait speed and functional mobility, but no improvement was noted in his standing balance. The patient was discharged to home with a home exercise program and recommendation to continue with the different therapies provided by the patient's school.
