Objective:
To assess the feasibility of using short-term balance training with computer-based visual feedback (BTVF) and its effect on standing balance in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (BSCP).
Methods:
Out of the fourteen children with BSCP (mean age = 10.31 years), seven children received four sessions of BTVF (two such sessions/day, each session = 15 min) in comparison to the control group that received standard care. Feasibility was measured as percentages of recruitment, retention and safety and balance was measured using a posturography machine as sway velocity (m/s) and velocity moment (m/s2) during quiet standing.
Results:
No serious adverse events occurred in either group. There were no differences in the retention percentages and in any clinical outcome measure between both groups.
Conclusion:
Use of BTVF is feasible in children with BSCP but further investigation is required to estimate a dose-effect relationship.
