Abstract

Cerebral Palsy (CP) prevalence has remained stable in the global population over the last few years. This case study aims to examine the impact of the Partial Body Weight Supported Treadmill (PBWST) on gait control in kids with cerebral palsy. Kids with CP completed a gait training protocol two-session between two weeks’ intervals. Outcome measures included a Berg balancing scale, Dynamic gait index, Katz index of independence in activities of daily living, and several steps. The individual results indicated there were improvements in balance, dynamic gait, and step count. After the second session, the number of steps improved. The step length of the second session is better. There were more active movements during the second session. Additional research is needed to determine the treatment parameters and the long-term effects of PBWST on gait performance in CP children.
