Previous research has demonstrated balance deficits ranging from 28%-43% depending on the
 nature of the balance task in individuals with CP compared to controls (Kenis-Coskun et al.,
 2016). As balance is critical for underlying normal movement, improvements in static and
 dynamic balance are important goals in rehabilitation for ambulatory children with CP
 (Saether et al., 2013).
 
 Balance deficits are among the symptoms that having a more profound impact on motor function
 and quality of life inn with CP children (Lai et al., 2017). Poor balance reduces the ability
 to perform gait-related activities and increases the risk of falling, which, in turn, limits
 participation in daily activities, including sports and physical activities (Usuba et al.,
 2015).
