Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamic orthotic garment (Thera togs) on foot pressure distribution, postural control, functional performance and endurance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: forty children with spastic diplegic CP, with ages ranging from 8 to 10 years, will be assigned randomly into two groups. The control group will receive the conventional physical therapy, whereas the study group will receive the same program as the control group in addition to Thera togs. Measurement of foot pressure distribution will be performed using a pressure platform, postural control will be evaluated using the trunk control measurement scale Trunk Position Sense pediatric berg balance scale, endurance will be assessed using six-minute walk test (6MWT)
