Summary

This study was set out to assess the effect of stretch-shortening (SSC) exercises on gait-symmetry and balance in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). Forty-two children with UCP were randomly allocated to the control group (n = 21, received standard physical rehabilitation) or the SSC group (n =21, received standard rehabilitation plus SSC exercises). Both groups were assessed for ait-symmetry and balance pre and post-treatment.
