Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effects of bilateral trunk support during walking on trunk and leg kinematics and neuromuscular responses in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Design Fourteen children with spastic CP (GMFCS level I to III) participated in this study. Children walked on a treadmill under 4 different conditions, i.e., without support (BASELINE), with bilateral support applied to the upper trunk (UTS), the lower trunk (LTS), and combined upper and lower trunk (CTS). The trunk and leg kinematics and muscle activity were recorded. Results Providing bilateral support to the trunk had a significant impact on the displacement of the pelvis and trunk (p
