To compare the effect of solid ankle foot orthosis and ground reaction foot orthosis on the muscle activity in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale III).
Few studies have examined muscular activity via electromyography (EMG) during quiet standing in children with cp.
A few studies have examined the benefits of ground reaction ankle foot orthosis, showing that it could effectively reduce or eliminate the crouch position in children with spastic cerebral palsy however little is known about the benefits of GRAFOs on postural control mechanisms in static standing in children with CP.
Previous Studies suggested that appropriate tuning of ankle foot orthosis properties may reduce muscle demand for children with CP.
So, this study may be a guide in management of postural instability in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy in standing position.
704 studies on the registry are indexed under Muscle Spasticity; 149 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 60 across 162 observational studies indexed under Muscle Spasticity.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
children diagnosed with cp spastic diplegia with postural instability will represent the sample of this study.
They will be selected from the clinic of faculty of physical therapy, delta university and my private clinic.
Exclusion Criteria:
Surface Electromyography (SEMG) is a measurement of the electrical activity in muscles as a byproduct of contraction. It is the summation of action potentials from the muscle fibers under the electrodes placed on the skin
muscle activity by Electromyography device
activity of gastrocnemius ad tibialis anterior muscle by Electromyography device
Time frame: up to 12 months
