简要总结
Some positive effects of whole body vibration applications in reducing spasticity, improving walking ability, and increasing walking speed have been reported in children with CP, but the evidence is not strong enough. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the effect of whole body vibration treatment on spasticity, gait, balance, and motor performance in children with spastic CP. This study hypothesis that whole body vibration provides an additive improvement on spasticity, balance, gait and motor performance.
详细描述
Participants will be evaluate at baseline, after the conventional physiotherapy program, and after whole body vibration training program. During this period, the participants who were recruited whole body vibration training program, whole body vibration will be applied in addition to conventional physiotherapy sessions comprised 45 min, 2 days a week, during 8 week.

结局指标
主要结局
Spatiotemporal parameters of gait will be evaluated with the Zebris™ FDM-2 gait analysis platform.
时间窗: Change from baseline velocity at 2 months.
Gait analysis will be performed without any shoes and assistive devices. Walking evaluation on the gait platform will be limited to 1 minute. Obtained data about velocity will be collected as meters/seconds from the entire 1-minute walk will use for analysis.
次要结局
- The Pediatric Balance Scale will be used to measure functional balance of the participants.(Change from baseline score at 2 months.)
