Tanaka et al. stated that a training program that aims to stimulate both sensory as well as motor function is effective in improving balance. AGT helped the diplegic children to organize sensory information from the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems (sensory strategies) for postural control thus creating internal neural representation essential for coordinated postural abilities. This finding comes in agreement
with Wernig et al. who reported that proprioceptive awareness of postures and movements is very important during the learning of new tasks. They added that during slower movements, the proprioceptive system can monitor and adjust the movement as it occurs. This system is able to generate immediate, rapid and precisely tailored compensatory muscular contractions that occur in response to unexpected changes in external or internal forces, for example as required during standing balance.
