Publisher: | IOS Press | Abstract: | Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to show the effects of an 8-week Neurodevelopmental Treatment based posture and balance training on postural control and balance in diparetic and hemiparetic Cerebral Palsied children (CPC). Methods: Fifteen CPC (aged 5-15 yrs) were recruited from Denizli Yagmur Çocuklari Rehabilitation Centre. Gross Motor Function Classification System, Gross Motor Function Measure, 1-Min Walking Test, Modified Timed Up and Go Test, Paediatric Balance Scale, Functional Independence Measure for Children and Seated Postural Control Measure were used for assessment before and after treatment. An 8-week NDT based posture and balance training was applied to the CPC in one session (60-min) 2 days in a week. Results: After the treatment program, all participants showed statistically significant improvements in terms of gross motor function (p < 0.05). They also showed statistically significant improvements about balance abilities and independence in terms of daily living activities (p < 0.05). Seated Postural Control Measure scores increased after the treatment program (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that an 8-week Neurodevelopmental Treatment based posture and balance training is an effective approach in order to improve functional motor level and functional independency by improving postural control and balance in diparetic and hemiparetic CPC. © 2018 - IOS Press and the authors.
