Summary

This study will be conducted to identify the relation between pelvic alignment and standing balance and also the relation between pelvic alignment and selective motor control in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

In this study, pelvic alignment of children with diplegia will be evaluated using the Formetric instrument system. Their standing balance will be evaluated using the Biodex balance system, while selective voluntary motor control of lower extremities will be assessed using the Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity scale (SCALE). Results will be compared to find the correlation between pelvic alignment and standing balance and the correlation between pelvic alignment and selective motor control. Results can help clinicians to better address the problems of pelvic asymmetry in children with spastic diplegia to improve their overall balance and functional abilities.
