Brief Summary

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

This study aimed to investigate the differences in the biomechanical properties of the dorsal trunk and lower extremity muscles of children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy compared with their typically developing peers, and the effect of these biomechanical properties on balance and functional mobility performance.
