Abstract
AbstractBackground: Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy bearing weight mostly through the unaffected leg and may be a strategy to compensate for muscle paresis in the hemiplegic leg causing fatigue of unaffected limb and impaired balance.Aim: To determine the immediate effect of induced fatigue of unaffected limb on balance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.Patients and Methods: 29 children with hemiplegic cere-bral palsy (8.9±2.3 years). Before and after induced fatigue of unaffected limb the balance were recorded by Biodex balance system.Results: There were significant difference before and after fatigue in balance overall stability index (p<0.001), antroposterior stability index (p=0.003), mediolatral stability index (p=0.002).Conclusion: Fatigue of unaffected limb deteriorates bal-ance in children with hemiplegia.
