Summary

To investigate the effect of Perturbation-Based Balance Training on trunk proprioception and balance in hemiparetic cerebral palsy

Detailed description

Thirty-eight patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study. The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected physical therapy exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Perturbation-Based Balance Training, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, baseline digital inclinometer.
