Effects of a therapeutic suit based on myofascial meridians on postural control and balance in children with cerebral palsy: a multiple-baseline, single-subject study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate the effects of an intervention programme based on the TREINI Exoflex therapeutic suit on balance, postural control, activity, and participation outcomes in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Method
