Aquatic Treadmill Walking Lowers Pelvic Motion Irregularity in Typically Developing and Children With Cerebral Palsy
The study shows the potential of the aquatic treadmill environment to induce more typical postural dynamics for children with cerebral palsy compared with conventional dry treadmills. Postural dynamics also had decreased irregularity at slower walking speeds. A longitudinal study would show the retention tendencies of observed impacts on children with cerebral palsy.
