W eakness and spasticity are the major two impairments in children with cerebral palsy and strength training is one of the most major trends of treatment in the last few decades for the children with cerebral palsy. There are hundreds of articles published on strength training with its benefits. The purpose of this talk is to summarize the strength training programs and make the research methods suitable for the clinical application of spastic diplegia treatment. Many times the therapist is confused about following questions like which child is best suitable for strength training, how many weeks to train them, how many days per week or how many hours per day is ideal, what kind of strength training should be implement, is there any adverse effects and how to carry out with the program. By careful appraisal of research articles from various databases and journals we want to clarify the ambiguity of the therapist and provide what happened before, what is happening now and what should be the new thought process for innovative future research in this field.
