Background: Children with diplegia had considerably larger hip and knee excursion during gait cycle than did normal developing children.
Objective: To investigate the effect of using weight around the ankle on hip excursion in children with diplegia.
Fifty children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy were assigned into two groups at random (A, B). Both groups had received the same prescribed exercise program with classical gait training for group A and gait training while using weight around ankle for group B. Treatment was conducted for one hour three sessions per week for successive 3 months. Two-dimensional (2D) gait analysis was used to evaluate hip excursion throughout the gait cycle before and after three months of therapy.
