Forty-five hemipartic children, from 6 to 8 years old participated in this study. They were classified randomly into three groups of equal numbers. They received feedback training (visual, auditory; audiovisual for three groups respectively) of tibialis anterior muscle, in addition to the same selected exercise program. Gait parameters were assessed before and after three months of treatment using motion analysis system. The results revealed significant improvement in all measured variables for three groups with greater improvement in the favor of the auditory group.
