Brief Summary

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

To investigate the effect of Perturbation-Based Balance Training on trunk proprioception and balance in hemiparetic cerebral palsy

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Thirty-eight patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study.

The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected physical therapy exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Perturbation-Based Balance Training, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, baseline digital inclinometer.
