Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders of movement and posture, generally accompanied by secondary musculoskeletal problems. Studies in literature showed taht children with CP supports a link between the levels of impairment and walking ability. The 6 Minute walk test is a standardized, self-placed walking test commonly used to access functional ability in children with cerebral palsy. While decreased exercise capacity has been identified in children with cerebral palsy, the clinical determinants of the 6MWT in this population have not been investigated yet. Thus the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between 6 Minute walk test, quality of life, respiratory muscle strength,activities of daily living using with Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory and trunk control.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A convenience of children with hemiparetic and diplegia CP, 7-14 years, is going to recruited from Gazi University, Faculty of Health Science, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Every each of patients respiratory muscle strength will be evaluated using with electronic mouth pressure device, trunk control with using trunk control measurement scale, activities of daily living using with Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI), functional exercise capacity usin with six minute walk test (6MWT) and quality of life using with Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life Questionnaire (CPQOL).
