Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of ankle taping on ankle range of motion and locomotion in hemiparetic cerebral palsied children. Twenty five children with hemiparesis, with age range from 2 to 6 years, participated in this study. They were divided randomly into two groups. group A (control group) received the designed physical therapy program for hemiparetic children which emphasized on exercises for ankle for three sessions per week each one lasted for one and half hour for three months without ankle taping. group B (study group) received the same designed physical therapy program given to group A in addition to ankle taping. All children were assessed before and after the treatment program by Gross motor functional measure (GMFM) which used to assess change in gross motor function over time. Also we used the digital - goniometer to measure the ankle range of motion. A statistically significant improvement was recorded after training periods
