Additionally, study group received rESW (one session/week) on gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (1500 shots/muscle, frequency of 4Hz, energy of 0.030 mJ/mm2). All children were evaluated at baseline, and after 12 weeks by Modified Ashworth Scale, Biodex system 4 isokinetic dynamometer, Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88), dimensions "D" standing and "E" walking, Trost Selective Motor Control Test, and Single Leg Standing Test.
