The treatment and rehabilitation of people with cerebral palsy have become a medical and social concern, and there is no doubt that physical exercises have been known for a long time and have yielded many positive results in improving and strengthening muscle work, especially for children with spastic cerebral palsy. The research aims to identify the effect of rehabilitation programs on improving balance skills in children with spastic cerebral palsy(diplegia). By counting the results of the tests, it was concluded that the proposed rehabilitation program had a positive role in improving the balance skills of the research sample.
