Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of functional electrical stimulation(FES) on sitting balance in child with cerebral palsy. Four cerebral palsy children were selected for this study. Functional electrical stimulation(FES) was applied to subject's abdominal muscle and electrospine muscle. Assessment was carried out before treatment for obtain baseline measurement of sitting balance and reassessment were carried out after treatment. The obtain results are as follows. 1. The result of this study were following that maximum perturbation area was significantly reduced after treatment compared with pre-treatment. 2.The result of this study were following that maximum perturbation velocity was significantly reduced after treatment compared with pre-treatment.
