Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of treadmill back walking training on balance and function in cerebral palsy. In our study, scientific data will be prepared by clinical measurement tools in order to determine whether there is balance and walking effect of easy and practicable treadmill back walking training in the clinical setting in Cerebral Palsy.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Keywords

cerebral palsy; treadmill; backward walking; balance; spasticity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• The Pediatric Balance Scale

  It can be considered as a simple, valid scale for studying functional balance capacity in children with spastic SP (Yi 2012). Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBBS) will be used to evaluate the functional balance of daily living activities. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

  8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• The Rivermead Visual Gait Assessment
