The results indicated the following:
1. children in both groups showed significant improvements in the mean values of all measured variables after treatment with a significant reduction in stability indices and improvement in gait parameters.
2. significant differences were recorded in all measured parameters in the group that received the stability training, when compared with those who only received physical therapy.
The researchers concluded that balance training on the Biodex Stability System paired with traditional physical therapy may improve balance control and gait functions in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
