简要总结
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.

入选标准
- •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).
排除标准
- •If they had no major medical issues, according to their medical report. Skin diseases and allergic reactions to the adhesive tape used in this study were excluded, as were any deformities that interfered with lower limb functions, children with pace- makers who were contraindicated by electrical stimula- tion, children with visual, auditory, or perceptual deficits, and children with seizures.
