  7. Abstract:
  8. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common diseases that cause by brain injury or abnormalcy and occur while brain is developing before, during or just after birth. people with cerebral palsy face certain problems associated with the control of their muscles, these conditions will make simple activities such as sitting, walking or taking objects very difficult for a person.In the case of gait analysis and its effectiveness, there are many articles and studies. In general, experts have used gait analysis to diagnose and treat problems in cerebral palsy patients. Experts have studied on cerebral Palsy using gait analysis directly and indirectly. In indirect cases, patients are classified with the results of these analysis or during it by experts and researchers in order to provide a special treatment for each category. The aim of this study is obtaining new parameters, pattern and method for optimize and improving the method of classification and diagnosis different types of cerebral palsy patients, for this purpose, the existed differences in the patterns of center of pressure progression and ground reaction force among cerebral palsy children that are categorized with existed classification, are investigated.According to the findings, with comparing differences between existing patterns of the center of pressure and ground reaction force, there are significant differences between some pattern of all groups, except for two groups (true equinus with apparent) of four classified cerebral palsy groups, which can distinguish between the groups with associate of differences. Also, six different patterns for vertical component of ground reaction force are illustrated among healthy individuals and cerebral palsy that can be used to define new categories
