original RESUMOObjetivo. Verificar o comprometimento do controle postural em crianças com paralisia cerebral. Método. 64 crianças foram avaliadas e divididas em quatro grupos G1: cinco e seis; G2: sete e oito; G3: nove e dez anos, com desenvolvimento típico, e; G4: cinco a 12 anos, com paralisia cerebral. O controle postural foi avaliado por meio da Escala de Equilíbrio Pediátrica, Teste de Alcance e Plataforma de Força. Resultados. O déficit no controle postural foi identificado no G4, na escala de equilíbrio pediátrica. O G4 obteve 52 pontos, quando comparadas as crianças do G2 (55,5) e G3 (56). No teste de alcance anterior houve diferença para o G4 (19cm) em relação ao G2 (25,5cm). Sobre a plataforma de força, na postura bipodal, a área do centro de pressão do G2 (1,62 cm²) e G3 (1,36 cm²) foi menor que do G4 (4,24 cm²). Conclusão. A criança com paralisia cerebral tem prejuízo no controle postural, na realização de atividades funcionais, mobilidade e área do centro de pressão, e seu desempenho aproximou-se das crianças com desenvolvimento típico na faixa etária entre cinco e seis anos.

ABSTRACTObjective. To assess the impairment of postural control in children with cerebral palsy. Method. 64 children were evaluated and divided into four groups G1: five to six; G2: seven to eight; G3: nine to ten years, with typical development and; G4: five to 12 years, with cerebral palsy. Postural control was evaluated by the Pediatric Balance Scale, Reach Test and Force Platform. Results. The deficit in postural control was identified in the G4, the pediatric balance scale G4 got 52 points, compared the children of the G2 (55.5) and G3 (56) resulted difference; in the above range test G4 (19 cm) and G2 (25.5cm) were different; on the force platform, the bipedal posture, the area of G2 center of pressure (1.62cm²) and G3 (1.36cm²) were lower than the G4 (4.24cm²). Conclusion. Children with cerebral palsy have impairment in postural control during functional activities, mobility and pressure center area, and its performance approached the typically developing children aged between five and six years.
