Summary

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study will be investigation of the effect oflight stimulated footsteps pathway on kinematics of gait in spastic diplegic children BACKGROUND: The goal of most therapy procedures for children with spastic cerebral palsy is to increase their walking abilities. Locomotor training usinglight stimulated footsteps pathwayhas been recommended for the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy in an effort to improve walking independence and gait speed.

HYPOTHESES: Walking on light stimulated footsteps pathway may not affect kinematics of gait in spastic diplegic children RESEARCH QUESTION: Does walking on light stimulated footsteps pathway have any effect onkinematics of gait in spastic diplegic children?

Conditions
