Özet
Purpose: To determine the postural control responses' differences between children with mild spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP) and children who are typically developing (TD).Patients and Methods: Children with spastic CP, Level I-II (n=20, mean age=9.42 +/- 4.59 years, 50% girls, 50% boys) and children with TD (N=20, mean age=9.65 +/- 3.03, 55% girls, 45% boys) were included in the study. All participants were evaluated with Computerized Dynamic Posturography, Sensory Organization Test (SOT).Results: There were differences between children with spastic CP and children with TD in visual and composite balance score of SOT significantly (p<0.05); there were no differences at vestibular and somatosensory scores of SOT. Children with CP had more postural sway than children with TD (p<0.05).Conclusion: There were differences between children with mild CP and TD in terms of postural control responses.
