The primary aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the One Leg-Standing Test (OLST) and the Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM) and stance phase stability during gait in Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (UCP). The secondary aim was to explore a new well-defined pedobarographic parameter as a functional factor in the stability of stance in gait. The investigator's hypotheses are (1) OLST has relationship between T2-T1 in children with UCP; (2) OLST has relationship between GMFM D and E. Eighteen children with UCP and ten typically developing children (TDC) participated in the study. All participants and their legal guardians signed an informed consent form before participating. Firstly, to asses the stability in stance all participants were analyzed by using pedobarographic analysis and the OLST. After analysis, only the UCP group was evaluated with the GMFM. The TDC group was used for comparison of pedobarographic stance phase stability (T2-T1) and OLST values.
