INTRODUCTION Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects the brain and nervous system and causes disturbances in movement, learning, hearing, vision and thinking . There has been an increase in the number of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy since the 1960s (Mattern-Baxter, 2010). After a child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy, it is important to help them regain the ability to walk. Cerebral palsy is a permanent but not immutable condition that requires help from medical professionals, children, and their families (Mattern-Baxter, 2010). Since the recent increase in the number of children diagnosed with cerebral palsy, researchers have emphasized the importance of intensive intervention at an early stage (Prosser, Lee, VanSant, Barbe, & Lauer, 2010). Ways to help improve the gait kinematics of children with CP are through locomotor treadmill training (LTT) or strength training. There are advantages and disadvantages with both methods. There are also several cases of CP, so the effects of these methods vary from child to child. A disadvantage of treadmill locomotor training is that it is less effective on children with CP younger than 4 years of age (Mattern-Baxter, 2010). Strength training may improve walking function for some patients, but may not cause any changes or undesirable results for others (Damiano, Arnold, Steele & Delp, 2010). It is important to identify the best method that can help improve walking in children with cerebral palsy as the number of children diagnosed with this condition is becoming more and more frequent. The purpose of this article is to compare different studies and determine which strategy is more effective for children with cerebral palsy, treadmill training or strength training.

Muscle activation pattern research should be helpful in determining why strength training helps some patients and not others. Researchers should also include more participants for these studies.
