Few studies have examined muscular activity via electromyography (EMG) during quiet standing in children with cp.
A few studies have examined the benefits of ground reaction ankle foot orthosis, showing that it could effectively reduce or eliminate the crouch position in children with spastic cerebral palsy however little is known about the benefits of GRAFOs on postural control mechanisms in static standing in children with CP.
Previous Studies suggested that appropriate tuning of ankle foot orthosis properties may reduce muscle demand for children with CP.
So, this study may be a guide in management of postural instability in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy in standing position.
