Thirty, spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy children of both sexes with age ranging from 4 to 6 years old with balance problem and abnormal gait pattern subdivided randomly into two groups :Jf equal number, control and study groups. Evaluation was conducted before and after three successive months of treatment using spasticity, balance and gait analysis. The control group received neurodevelopmental techniques outside the spider cage while the study group received the same exercises but inside the spider cage using its facilities.
