To compare the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) versus TheraTogs on Gait and Balance in children with hemiplegic CP.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of FES versus TheraTogs on Gait and Balance in children with hemiplegic CP. Thirty children with hemiplegic CP will be assigned randomly into two groups (A & B). Group A received FES by using the WalkAide foot drop stimulator while group B received TheraTogs. Patients' evaluation will be carried out before and after training to assess gait and balance performance.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline spatial and temporal gait parameters at 3 months | Gait parameters were evaluated for every child at baseline and 3 months post-intervention using the Pro-Reflex motion analysis system (Qualisys; Qualisys Inc, Goeteborg, Sweden). For the purpose of this study four commonly used and reliable gait parameters were examined: stride length, step length, velocity, cadence, and stance and swing phase percentage. | Baseline and 3 months post-intervention |
| Change from baseline postural stability at 3 months | Postural stability were evaluated at baseline and 3 months post-intervention using the Biodex Balance System (BBS) (Balance System SD, Shirely, NY, USA). | Baseline and 3 months post-intervention |
