Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the electromyography activity of lower extremity and trunk muscles in patients with cerebral palsy and healthy individuals during natural walking and rhythmic walking. Ten patients with spastic cerebral palsy participated in this study voluntarily and subjects walked normally and with a rhythm of 6/8. Using wireless EMG and Bounce Metronome software to give rhytmic task, the intensity of activity in RF, ES, GM and TFL was recording with normal walking and walking with 6/8 rhythms. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and repeated measures analysis of variance
