Article Synopsis
- Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder that impacts muscle control and movement, often leading to difficulties in walking, with many children relying on assistive devices.
- A study investigated the effects of antigravity treadmill training (AlterG) on gait characteristics in children with CP, using a training program of 45 minutes three times a week for eight weeks.
- Results showed significant improvements in gait patterns and balance for the AlterG group compared to the control group receiving standard therapy, indicating that this training method is beneficial for enhancing walking abilities in CP children.
The Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Balance Control in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder which can result in balance and mobility impairments. Four children with spastic CP participated and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group received 1-Hz repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) four times a week for 3 weeks, and the control group received sham rTMS using the similar experimental protocol.

Our big goal in this research was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on cerebral palsy (CP) children with balance deficits. Four spastic hemiplegic CP children were participated; the experimental group received rTMS training 4 days a week for 3 weeks and then for the next 3 weeks they received typical occupational therapy just after rTMS therapy. The control group received placebo rTMS instead of real one accordingly.
