Postural balance in children with cerebral palsy [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 2002
Postural control deficits have been suggested to be a major component of gait disorders in cerebral palsy (CP). Standing balance was investigated in 23 ambulatory children and adolescents with spastic diplegic CP, ages 5 to 18 years, and compared with values of 92 children without disability, ages 5 to 18 years, while they stood on a force plate with ...
