Background: Cerebral palsy has pathology in immature brain problems, i.e., ischemic brain, and hypoxic brain.The cause of pathology can be prenatal, perinatal and postnatal. Electromyography (EMG) biofeedback isa muscle training program using electrical stimulation modality to train specific weakness of the muscles orpathologic side. A feedback response to the patients by visual or supporting sound can enable the patient to train themselves specifically. However, little evidences supports the efficacy of EMG biofeedback to train muscles in cerebral palsy, especially in balance and coordination.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of EMG biofeedback compared with conventional physiotherapy on gaitand balance in children with …
