Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in Canadian children. The comprehensive care of ambulatory children with CP functioning at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I and II was covered in a previous practice point. This companion document focuses on the ...
Aim: To determine the testretest reliability and construct validity of a novel 6-Minute Racerunner Test (6MRT) in children and youth with cerebral palsy (CP) classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels III and IV. The racerunner is a step-propelled tricycle. Methods...
The inclusion criteria consisted of patients diagnosed with cerebral palsy GMFCS V suffering from neuromuscular scoliosis undergoing spine surgery for scoliosis correction, without age restrictions. Correlation analysis and linear regression were performed using the variables of interest, and p < .05 was ...
