This cross-sectional study investigated the effect of foot-ankle function on physical performance in CP with spastic equinus deformity.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A cross-sectional prospective study was performed on 61 children with CP. Participants were evaluated by the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire for Children (OxAFQ-C), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), single-leg stance test (SLST), 3-Meter Backward Walk Test (3MBWT), and Functional Reach Test.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The mean \u00b1 SD age of the children with CP (28 girls and 33 boys) included in the study was 11.3 \u00b1 4.4 years.
