The aim of this study will be to evaluate the the effect of Thera Togs soft orthotic undergarment on modulation of the spinal geometry and mobility in sagittal plan in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
Forty children with spastic diplegic CP will be assigned and randomly distributed into two equall groups (A& B). Control group (A) will receive conventional rehabilitation program for postural correction 2 hours/3 sessions' weekly/3 successive months. Study group (B) will receive conventional rehabilitation protocol as in group (A) plus wearing TheraTogs soft orthotic undergarment. Children evaluation will be carried out before and after the intervention programs to assess postural deviations using the Formetric system.
