Overview

Brief Summary

Children with diplegic cerebral palsy exhibit postural restrictions as a result of both primary and secondary brain damage impairments. One of the main goals of cerebral palsy rehabilitation is to improve balance and stability. As a result, the purpose of this study is to compare the effects of TheraTogs and reciprocal electrical stimulation on postural stability in children with diplegic CP.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•Diplegic children of both sexes are between the ages of 8 and
•The level of spasticity in the lower limbs ranged from grade 1 to grade +1 on the modified Ashworth scale (MAS). The levels of motor function were between levels I and II, according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS).

Exclusion Criteria

•If they had no major medical issues, according to their medical report.
