Abstract

Objective of the study is to examine the characteristics of postural balance during the maintenance of an upright standing position in children with cerebral palsy. Methods and structure of the study. Using the Habilect biofeedback hardware-and-software system, the researchers recorded how the body’s spatial position shifted in the frontal and sagittal planes and assessed static-locomotor stability from the percentage deviations of the body’s centre of gravity while a static upright posture was held. Results and conclusions. Distinct features of postural balance were established in boys and girls with cerebral palsy according to their level of motor impairment under the GMFCS classification. The large standard-deviation values (X±σ) seen across all groups point to considerable individual variability in the biomechanical and functional impairments present within each GMFCS level.
