Overview

Brief Summary

Addition of WBV training to the conventional physical therapy is more effective in enhancing quadriceps and hamstring muscles strength, power and endurance in children with hemiparetic CP compared to conventional physical therapy alone. Therefore, combination of WBV training with conventional physical therapy should be considered during designing a rehabilitation program for children with spastic CP.
