%X Background: To improve the walking efficiency of children with cerebral palsy, gait must be documented accurately so that the abnormalities can be assessed and the best treatment option can be selected. Methods: Gait was analysed using Selspot kinematic system with a Kistler force plate and the motion analysis ambulatory EMG system connected to a personal computer. Results: Walking speed and stride length had improved in children. Conclusion: Gait analysis can help to accomplish improvement in walking efficiency of children with cerebral palsy.
