ABSTRACT
AIMS: Systematically review literature addressing the effects of changes in base of support (BoS) configuration and characteristics of support surface (SS) on postural control of children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS: We conducted a tailored electronic database search in PubMed/Web of Science/SCOPUS/Embase. RESULTS: We identified 15 studies meeting inclusion criteria. CONCLUSION: The extant literature suggests that when children with CP experience changes in BoS and SS, they engage in fewer adaptive postural control responses than typically developing children. Documented response patterns of children with CP in the literature might guide the selection and development of rehabilitation strategies to appropriately facilitate or challenge postural control in children with CP.
