Aim: To evaluate the correlation between pelvic alignment and trunk control in children with spastic diplegia of the age group 8-15 years. Methods/Design: The study used a cross-sectional research design. 24 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy were included in the study. Pelvic asymmetry of each child was measured using palpation meter device (PALM) and trunk control using a trunk control measurement scale (TCMS) on the same day with 5 minutes break in between. Results: The results show that there is a negative correlation between pelvic asymmetry and trunk control. The p-value is __ampersandsignlt;0.001 which shows that the study is significant. Conclusion: The study concludes that there is a negative correlation between pelvic asymmetry and trunk control in children with spastic diplegia.
