Effects of forward tilted seating and foot-support on postural adjustments in children with spastic cerebral palsy: An EMG-study.

CONCLUSION: In terms of postural adjustments during forward reaching, foot-support enhanced the children's capacity to modulate trunk extensor activity, which was associated with improved reaching quality. FW-tilting did not affect postural muscle activity.
