Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied

Cerebral palsy
G80

Intervention(s)

24 children with cerebral palsy will be randomly divided into two groups and in the first make use of orthoses fixed polypropylene and the second will use the orthosis in a time of day (6 hours) and the remainder will make use of an postural insole made for their dysfunction.

Primary Outcome(s)

Evaluation of the effect of insoles on postural gait of children with cerebral palsy.
For this analysis will be performed three-dimensional gait and cadence (steps per minute) the parameter to be evaluated.

Secondary Outcome(s)

Evaluation of the effect of insoles on postural function of children with cerebral palsy.
It will be used for functional scales, such as the scale of Berg, team up and go test and 6 minute walk.

Evaluation of the effect of the insole postural balance of children with cerebral palsy.
To this will be accomplished and the parameter used to stabilometry the oscillation of the center of pressure.
