Brief Summary

Previous research has demonstrated balance deficits ranging from 28%-43% depending on the nature of the balance task in individuals with CP compared to controls (Kenis-Coskun et al., 2016). As balance is critical for underlying normal movement, improvements in static and dynamic balance are important goals in rehabilitation for ambulatory children with CP (Saether et al., 2013).

Balance deficits are among the symptoms that having a more profound impact on motor function and quality of life inn with CP children (Lai et al., 2017). Poor balance reduces the ability to perform gait-related activities and increases the risk of falling, which, in turn, limits participation in daily activities, including sports and physical activities (Usuba et al., 2015).
