Reduced muscle and bone mass, improper muscle function, and varying degrees of mobility dysfunctions are the main complications of cerebral palsy (CP). Many children with CP also present with poor abdominal muscle activation. Whole-body vibration (WBV) is a unique approach for enhancing strength and motor abilities in several clinical conditions. This study aimed to determine the influence of a 12-week WBV intervention on the thickness of the abdominal muscles and the sitting ability of children with diplegia.
