Brief Summary

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

Muscle strength can be defined as the ability of skeletal muscle to develop force for the purpose of providing stability and mobility within the musculoskeletal system, so that functional movement can take place.

Detailed Description

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

Cerebral palsy describes a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fatal or infant brain. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, cognition, communication, perception, and/or behaviour, and/or by a seizure disorder

The development and changes in motor function, both natural and with therapy, can be assessed using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) created for children with CP

correlation

A total of 97 children with CP between the ages of six and 12 years participated in the study. Muscle strength was measured with a handheld dynamometer. Motor function in children with CP was classified with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), graded with the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)

Intervention Type OTHER
