Static and Dynamic Postural Stability in Cerebral Palsy Children

This control condition will aim at analyzing posture and locomotion in CP children with the intent to focus attention on their equilibrium, only, without any other interference.

The distractors will be used to orient subjects' attention toward another simple and motivating task in order to avoid focalisation on postural control and locomotion and to favour a more automatic control.

In addition to the previous condition, the goal of the present condition is to isolate the effects of a sound distractor, since it is known that CP children frequently exhibit visual deficits which may affect their postural and locomotion difficulties.

The additional cognitive task aimed to increase the attentional load and to analyse its impact on children's capacity to process two tasks simultaneously (the cognitive and postural or locomotor tasks)
