This study was to identify the effects of task oriented training of trunk stability on a swiss ball in sitting position on trunk stability and balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. 20 subjects were participated in this study and allocated into the experimental group (EG) trained with task oriented training on a swiss ball and the control group (CG) trained with it on a mat. Pediatric reaching test (PRT) and Touching-to-the-ground in Trunk control measurement scale (tTCMS) for trunk stability and Sitting, Quadruped and Kneeling in Gross motor function measure (sGMFM, qGMFM and kGMFM) and Static and Dynamic stability in TCMS (sTCMS and dTCMS) for balance were used as assessment tools conducted before and after 8-week training. In results, there were significant differences in PRT, tTCMS, sGMFM, qGMFM, kGMFM, sTCMS and dTCMS in both EG and CG (p<.05). And there were more significant differences in PRT, tTCMS, sTCMS and dTCMS of EG than those in CG (p<.05). Therefore, this study showed that task oriented training of trunk stability on a swiss ball in sitting position gave beneficial effects on trunk stability and balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
