6 weeks.
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Myoelectrical activity.
6 weeks.
Jump Performance
6 weeks.
Study Arms (2)
Supervised Slackline Training
EXPERIMENTALSupervised Slackline training in children and teenagers with spastic cerebral palsy (grade I and II of the Gross Motor Function Classification System). Intervention included 18 slackline rehabilitation sessions for 6 weeks: 3 sessions per week on non-consecutive days, 30 min each one.
Physical Activity
NO INTERVENTIONThe control group followed its usual weekly physical activity routine.
Interventions
Intervention included 18 slackline rehabilitation sessions for 6 weeks: 3 sessions per week on non-consecutive days, 30 min each one.
