With CP, there are well\u2010documented changes in the neurological drive to skeletal muscle, which leads to modifications in the architecture of the muscles. Whole\u2010body vibration (WBV) is one intervention to modify muscle and joint. However, its efficacy needs to be accurately studied. This study investigates the effects of WBV on fascicle length, knee joint angle and function in children with spastic hemiplegic CP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eighty children with hemiplegic CP aged 4\u20136\u00a0years were enrolled.

The control group received a designated physical therapy program and the experimental group received a designated physical therapy program in addition to WBV. Program was performed 3 times a week for 12\u00a0weeks.
