<br/><br/> Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether  individuals with spastic diplegia exhibit anticipatory activation of postural  muscles associated with voluntary arm movement while standing.Conclusion:  These findings suggested that individuals with spastic diplegia have the  ability to anticipate the effects of disturbance of posture and equilibrium  caused by arm movement and reaching test and to activate postural muscles  in advance of focal muscles. However the anticipatory increase in postural  muscle activity is insufficient in individuals with spastic diplegia
