Resumen
[EN] Objective: To assess whether a slackline intervention program improves postural control
in children/adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Patients’ association. Participants: Twenty-seven children/adolescents with spastic CP
(9–16 years) were randomly assigned to a slackline intervention (n = 14, 13 ± 3 years) or control
group (n = 13, 12 ± 2 years ). Intervention: Three slackline sessions per week (30 min/session) for
6 weeks. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was static posturography (center of
pressure—CoP—parameters). The secondary outcomes were surface myoelectrical activity of the
lower-limb muscles during the posturography test and jump performance (countermovement jump
test and Abalakov test). Overall (RPE, >6–20 scale) rating of perceived exertion was recorded
at the end of each intervention session. Results: The intervention was perceived as “very light”
(RPE = 7.6 ± 0.6). The intervention yielded significant benefits on static posturography (a significant
group by time interaction on Xspeed, p = 0.006) and jump performance (a significant group by time
interaction on Abalakov test, p = 0.015). Conclusions: Slackline training improved static postural
control and motor skills and was perceived as non-fatiguing in children/adolescents with spastic CP.
