The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects a running intervention on ability and participation in children with cerebral palsy.Children palsy (9-18 years) Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-III were randomly assigned 12-week or usual care. Primary outcomes included improvement (assessed by Goal Attainment Scaling, high level mobility the High-Level Mobility Assessment Tool) Participation Environment Measure for Children Youth). Secondary aerobic anaerobic fitness...
For children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) who are independently ambulant (Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) I or II), running is a fundamental movement skill that enables them to play engage in school community activities. A intervention which resulted good goal attainment should logically have improved kinematics, however, this has not yet been established.
