Product Description:

Purpose/Hypothesis: Partial body weight support treadmill training (PWSTT) and strength training (ST) are two interventions that have been shown to have positive effects on the walking skills of children with cerebral palsy (CP). While improvements in walking speed, stride length and cadence have been documented, little is known about the effects of either training program on community participation. The optimal parameters for the interventions have yet to be identified to maximize positive clinical change. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of PWSTT and ST program on a group of children with CP related to changes gait, activity and participation.
