Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the link between spasticity and the initial response after standing balance perturbations in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Reactive balance performance was tested using a moving platform. The investigators provided two types of perturbations, (1) backward translations and (2) rotations towards dorsiflexion, of different magnitudes. Spasticity was assessed using instrumented clinical tests of spasticity as the pendulum test and isolated passive joint rotations. Kinematics and EMG were measured simultaneously.
