Description
Summary:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of sling exercise training on balance and gross motor movement in children with cerebral palsy, and to investigate the effects of different intervention times and ages on treatment outcomes. Randomized controlled trials on sling exercise training for children with cerebral palsy published in full text from CNKI, Wanfang datebase, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched from the time of build to November 2023. Literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were performed independently by 2 researchers, and Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 and Stata17.0 software. A total of 12 studies with 725 patients were included sling exercise training significantly improved balance (I2 = 0%, mean difference [MD] = 3.42, 95% CI: 2.93-3.92, P
