The relationship between lower limb muscle volume and body mass in ambulant individuals with bilateral cerebral palsy.

Background: Individuals with cerebral palsy have smaller muscle volumes normalised to body mass than their typically developing peers. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between lower limb muscle volume and body mass in young people with bilateral cerebral palsy and their typically developing peers.

Methods: Twenty-five participants with bilateral cerebral palsy (aged 14.

Selective motor control correlates with gait abnormality in children with cerebral palsy.

Children with bilateral cerebral palsy (CP) commonly have limited selective motor control (SMC). This affects their ability to complete functional tasks. The impact of impaired SMC on walking has yet to be fully understood.
