Immediate effects of a single treadmill session with additional ankle loading on gait in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.

Background: Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy are often characterized by reduced speed progression, shorter step length, and increased support base. These kinematic alterations result in inefficient gait.

Objective: To assess the immediate effects of treadmill training with additional lower limb loading on kinematic gait parameters in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
