Standard physical therapy (SPT) with ground gait training is well recognized to improve the motor skill in cerebral palsy (CP) disease. Confirmation is required on achieving better gross motor function with partial body weight supported treadmill training (PBWSTT). The objective of the study is to analyze combination of SPT with PBWSTT for gross motor function children with spastic diplegic CP who able to walk. A prospective design was conducted in CP patients 2-7 years of age with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) I-III and received physical therapy 2 times per week, 20 minutes per session, a total of 20 sessions. The treatment group is continued by PBWSTT for 20 minutes per session. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 of walking, running, and jumping (dimension E) is measured in pre and post-physical therapy. Data were analyzed descriptively. There were 10 subjects and divided into 5 subjects in the control and the rest in the treatment group. The mean age was 48.4 months and 63.4 months respectively. The Average score of GMFM-66 dimension E pre and post-SPT were 63.54 and 65.24, the difference is 1.7 (2.67%) from the initial score.
