Spastic CP, the most common type, primarily affects the lower limbs. Children with spastic diplegic CP experience difficulties with balance and walking. Whole-body vibration (WBV) has shown promise in improving balance in various populations; however, its effects on children with spastic diplegic CP have not been well studied. This study aimed to determine the effects of WBV on balance in children with spastic diplegic CP.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Methods</strong>: Twenty children with spastic diplegic CP, aged 6-12 years, were assigned to two groups: Group A and Group B. Group A received WBV combined with therapeutic exercises, while Group B received only therapeutic exercises. Balance was assessed using the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) before and after a six-week intervention.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Results</strong>: The pre-test PBS scores were 31.63&plusmn;4.27 for the experimental group and 23.40&plusmn;2.07 for the control group. Post-test scores were 39.38&plusmn;4.14 and 26.20&plusmn;2.30 for the experimental and control groups, respectively. Both groups improved significantly, with the experimental group showing greater post-test balance scores than the control group.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Discussion</strong>: WBV combined with therapeutic exercises significantly enhances balance in children with spastic diplegic CP, suggesting its effectiveness as a treatment protocol.</div> <div></div> Balance, Cerebral palsy (CP), Pediatric balance scale, Spastic diplegic, Whole-body vibration (WBV) 157 166 http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2605-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Malathi S malarvid@srmist.edu.in N.A 0009-0000-9905-003X No SRM College of Physiotherapy, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, India.
