Abstract
Depending on inclination angle, children with cerebral palsy managed to walk on inclines in a controlled manner. The steeper the incline, the more the gait appeared to be affected: decreased feeling of safety, increased need for stabilising mechanisms for downhill gait and less sufficient uphill propulsion were seen. Helping these patients to attain better control during downhill gait and strengthening uphill gait mechanisms may support their participation in everyday life.
