Summary

This study endeavored to assess the effect of an isokinetic strength training (IsoK-ST) program on weight-bearing symmetry, gait-symmetry, and dynamic balance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (HCP). Thirty-six children with HCP were randomly allocated to the IsoK-ST group (n = 18, received their usual physical rehabilitation program plus an IsoK-ST program) or the Control group (n =18, received usual physical rehabilitation alone). Both groups were assessed for weight-bearing symmetry, gait-symmetry, and dynamic balance before and after treatment.

Physical Therapy

The IsoK-ST group received their usual physical therapy program for 45 minutes, three times a week for eight successive weeks, which comprised advanced balance training, weight-bearing exercises, gait training, postural and flexibility exercises, and strength training exercises. Additionally, the IsoK-ST group received an IsoK-ST program, thrice/week for eight successive weeks. The control group received the usual physical rehabilitation program only for 45 minutes, three times a week for eight successive weeks.
