Effects of Therapeutic Music Combined With Loaded Sit-to-Stand Resistance Exercise for Children With Spastic Diplegia - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of study is to investigate the effects of PSE Music with a "home-based" loaded STS exercise program on the functional strength, gross motor function, daily participation, exercise involvement, motor control, and gait speed for children with spastic diplegia.
