Open Document

The rationale for choosing the article by Gibson, Sprod, and Maher (2009) is that it contained many aspects of the PICO question. The participants had a diagnosis of cerebral palsy and were nonambulatory, and the age of the children ranged from 6 to 9 years old. This functional level is characteristic of a Level IV on the GMFCS for the age range between 6 and 12 years old. The study included a comparison for the use of a standing program and not using a standing program. The outcome measure was popliteal angle measurement of hamstring length that correlates to PROM of knee extension.
