The Effect of Soft Orthoses on Balance and Gait Performance in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Most of the available studies that are relevant to motor rehabilitation for children with dyskinetic type of cerebral palsy are few and are comprised of small numbers of children. Further researches are necessary to explore new conservative therapeutic protocols and techniques that should contribute to control disorganized movement, handle postural asymmetry, maintain postural stability, and improve gait performance. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of soft orthosis and strapping system on balance, and gait performance in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy.
