Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of vestibular stimulation on balance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Subjects: Thirty children of both sexes participated in this study. Their age ranged from 5 to 8 years. Methods: Children were assigned into two groups of equal number, 15 children in each group. group A (control group) received traditional physical therapy program and group B (study group) received the same program as in group A in addition to vestibular stimulation. Biodex Balance system was used to assess the children{u2018}s ability to maintain dynamic postural stability in the two groups before and after two months of treatment. Results: No significant difference in ODSI, MLSI, and APSI was recorded between the two groups before treatment, while significant improvement in ODSI, MLSI, and APSI was obtained in each group after treatment. Significant differences in ODSI, MLSI, and APSI were observed between the two groups after treatment in favor of group B. Conclusion: from the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the vestibular stimulation can be of value in improving balance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
