Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study was to investigate short and long-term effects of Whole Body Vibration therapy on spasticity and motor performance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy in addition to conventional physiotherapy.

Twenty-six patients undergoing conventional physiotherapy in a private rehabilitation center were included in the study. Patients were randomized to treatment and control groups. Study was completed with a total of 22 cases (11 for each group). At the beginning of the study, cases were evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88, LEGSys Spatio-Temporal Gait Analyzer, SportKAT550tm Portable Computerized Kinesthetic Balance Device and Modified Ashworth Scale. Cases in the treatment group were treated with Compex-Winplate for 8 weeks, 3 times a week, 15 minutes a day in one session. All cases were reevaluated immediately after the treatment and 12 weeks after the treatment.
