Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to identify factors which influence the acquisition of practical walking skills in children with cerebral palsy who can take more than 10 steps without any assistance, by means of comparing those who cannot practically walk with those who can practically walk in daily life.
Based on the data from 70 children with diplegic cerebral palsy, it has been demonstrated that muscle strength in hip extensors, knee flexors and ankle plantar flexors, selective motor control in ankles, one-leg standing and backward walking influence the practical walking skill levels which are I; crawling but not walking indoors, II; walking outdoors occasionally touching walls, furniture, etc., III; walking outdoors without touching walls, furniture, etc. Among these factors, it has been suggested that the knee flexors’ influence was the strongest.
