Purpose: This study was done to investigate the effect of using modified spiral strapping in correction of hip rotation abnormalities in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy to prevent deformity and improve hip rotation range of motion. Participant and methods: Thirty children with spastic hemiparesis enrolled in his study. Their age ranged between 3 and 6 years. They were randomly assigned into two groups of equal number 15 patients each. The control group (A) received the traditional physical program for these cases and the study group (B) received the same therapy program in addition to the spiral strapping technique on the affected lower limb. All children received the study protocol for an hour/session, 3 days/week for 3 successive months from april 2019 to june 2019, their hip range of motion was assessed before and after study protocol by digital goniometer.Results: Comparison of post treatment results between the two groups revealed a significant difference between post treatment mean values of external hip rotation angle in favor of study group. Conclusion: From the obtained results it can be concluded that modified spiral strapping has a beneficial effect on correction of abnormal hip rotation in hemiparetic children
