      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group received the sham and received the usual services of physiotherapy and occupational therapy according to the past, ie the type without affecting the person was symbolic be pasted.Taping in the ankle and in the anterior tibialis muscle to improve the ankle flexion dorsi, gastrosulosis, in order to control the ankle plantar flexion, rectus femoris, in order to improve knee extension and hamstring to control flexion of the knee. Intervention 2: The intervention group, in addition to the usual physical therapy and occupational therapies, also received kinesio tape.Taping in the ankle and in the anterior tibialis muscle to improve the ankle flexion dorsi, gastrosulosis, in order to control the ankle plantar flexion, rectus femoris, in order to improve knee extension and hamstring to control flexion of the knee. For this purpose, tension is applied to facilitate muscle function from the beginning to the end of the muscle, but in the case of inhibition of the muscle, from the end to the beginning of the muscle, and for muscle tuning up to 30% of the initial length, and in case of functional correction, it will be drawn up to 100% of the initial length. The position of the child during placement of the tape should be such that the muscle is drawn.  Taping is done for 14 days and is replaced by a 4 day interval. Before taping,two days after the taping and the next 14 days ( at the end of the intervention), tests and measurements are performed and the results are compared. In this study, the dorsi and knee flexural distance and ankle and knee flexion are measured and recorded, spasticity is assessed by Modified Modified Ashworth Scale, and the degree of each sample is recorded. The functional balance of the child is assessed by the Berg balance test. Forward functional reach measures the individual's balance when standing next to the wall and extending his hand.</i_freetext>

    <criteria>
      <inclusion_criteria>Inclusion criteria: 1. spastic diplegia or quadriplegia cerebral palsy children who have been taken by a neurologist, are enrolled; 2- children with cerebral palsy physically and mentally at least to be able to walk and to understand and execute commands; 3- children with cerebral palsy should be between 4 to 10 years; 4- no therapies will be added to the usual therapeutic physiotherapy and occupational therapy of the children studied during this period; 5- children who can come to the clinic once every 4 days have to replace the tape.&#13;
Exclusion criteria: 1. added new plan that received conventional treatment; 2. if the child is allergic to the tape, the child will be excluded from the intervention; 3. if the child does not come to change the tape and distance between the two time tapping, the child will be excluded from the study.</inclusion_criteria>
