Context. Controversy exists about the most appropriate seating position for children with
cerebral palsy (CP) to promote energy conservation and maximize upper-extremity function …

This study investigated the effects of seat‐surface inclination on parameters of postural
stability and functional use of the upper extremity. 10 non‐impaired children and 10 children …

Purpose. An evaluation of the current research evaluating the impact of seat inclinations
upon postural control, muscle activity and upper extremity function in children with cerebral …

This study was conducted to determine the effect of body orientation on upper extremity
function in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. Thirteen children between ages 8 …

Purpose This tutorial is designed to teach speech-language pathologists (SLPs) best
practices to support functional seating of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in the classroom …

Background and Purpose Because it is debatable whether seat surface inclination improves
motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP), the effect of seat surface tilting on …

This study tested the hypothesis that increasing hip flexion above 90° would improve hand
function in seated cerebral‐palsied children with extensor spasticity. Hand function was …

SUMMARY A surface electromyogram (EMG) was recorded from four leg muscles to
measure the effects of various seat inclinations and an abduction orthosis on eight children …

With the aim of creating a functional sitting position and a method to identify factors which
reduce spasticity and enhance postural control, a pilot study was conducted of two girls with …

The purpose of this article is to review the published research evidence for the efficacy and
effectiveness of adaptive seating in the management of children with cerebral palsy. This …
