Summary

This study was designed to assess the effect of a 12-week aquatic-based plyometric (Aqua-PLYO) training on postural control and functional performance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (h-CP). Fifty-six children with h-CP were randomly allocated to the Aqua-PLYO group (n = 28, received an Aqua-PLYO training program, trice/week, over 12 weeks) or the control group (n =28, received standard rehabilitation). Both groups were assessed for postural control and functional performance pre and post-treatment.
