Abstract: Objective To observe the effect of static balance test and training equipment on the equilibrium function in children with spastic diplegia.Methods 24 children with spastic diplegia were treated with visual feedback balance training besides routine rehabilitation training.All cases were assessed with Berg Balance Scale(BBS) and the static balance test and training equipment when eyes opened and closed,before and after the 8-week training.Results After the 8 week-training,the BBS scores of all children were higher than that before training(P<0.05).In the segment of the static balance test,fall index,weight distribution index and stability index decreased significantly(P<0.05～0.01).Conclusion The equilibrium function of the children with cerebral palsy can be assessed and pertinent training can be performed with balance equipment.
