This study investigated the effects of seat-surface inclination on parameters of postural stability and functional use of the upper extremity. 10 non-impaired children and 10 children with cerebral palsy, aged between four and 15 years, were studied. Seat-surface inclinations of 0 degree, 5 degrees anteriorly and 5 degrees posteriorly were used as the experimental conditions. Significant differences were observed on most dependent measures between the two groups. The results suggest that anteriorly tilting the seats of children with cerebral palsy may disturb postural stability, without improving performance of the upper extremity.
本研究调查了座椅表面倾斜度对姿势稳定性参数和上肢功能使用情况的影响。研究对象为10名无损伤儿童和10名患有脑瘫的儿童，年龄在4至15岁之间。实验条件为座椅表面倾斜度分别为0度、向前倾斜5度和向后倾斜5度。两组在大多数相关测量指标上均观察到显著差异。结果表明，脑瘫儿童座椅向前倾斜可能会干扰姿势稳定性，而不会改善上肢功能表现。
