Vibratory platform, gait training, electrical stimulation, and transcranial stimulation were effective to improve spatiotemporal gait parameters, especially velocity in children with cerebral palsy.Implication for rehabilitationImprovement and maintenance of gait of children with cerebral palsy is a great challenge to rehabilitation professionalsVibratory platform, gait training, electrical stimulation, and transcranial stimulation improve gait parameters.Isolated strength training was not effective to improve gait parameters in Cerebral Palsy.Long-term effect of most techniques on gait parameters until unclear.
