<br/><br/> The development of an independent and efficient walking is one of the major targets for children with cerebral palsy especially those with spastic diplegic type of cerebral palsy. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of unweighing system during treadmill versus over ground walking on gait pattern in children with spastic diplegia. Sixty children with spastic diplegia from both sexes with mean age 7.4 years participated in this study. They were classified into three groups of equal number, (one control and two study groups); the control group received a selected physical therapy program. The first study group received over ground gait training with the partial body weight bearing (30% weight relief), while the second study group received treadmill training with the partial body weight bearing (30% weight relief), in addition to the same therapeutic exercise program
