Comparison of the six-minute walk test performed over a 15 and 30 m course by children with cerebral palsy.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare performance on the six-minute walk test (6MWT) performed over 15 m and 30 m courses by children and youths with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Children and youths with CP at Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-IV performed the 6MWT in a straight 15 m-long corridor (first trial) and 30 m-long corridor (second trial). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate the agreement between the 6MWT results for the two corridor lengths.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Regulation Disorders of Sensory Processing (RDSP) and the Development of the Gait Function and Motor Learning Processes in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy.

1. These results correlate with the outcomes of other studies on the relationship between sensory impairment and motor skills. 2.

Assessment of the relationship between Val66Met BDNF polymorphism and the effectiveness of gait rehabilitation in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is associated with the non‑progressive damage of upper motor neurons, which is manifested by a variety of symptoms, particularly motor and functional deficits. During the rehabilitation of patients with CP, attention is paid to improving mobility which can have a significant impact on the child's development. The effectiveness of rehabilitation depends on the plasticity of the nervous system, which may be genetically determined.

Parents and Caregivers Satisfaction After Palliative Treatment of Spastic Hip Dislocation in Cerebral Palsy.

Pain appearance is one the most common complication of spastic hip disease in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It determines child and caregiver quality of life and life priorities. Reconstruction hip surgery should be considered as a treatment of choice.

Interrater reliability for unilateral and bilateral tests to measure the popliteal angle in children and youth with cerebral palsy.

Background: Short hamstring muscles can cause several problems for children with cerebral palsy. The results of the clinical measurement of hamstring length are often used in decision-making about treatment of children with cerebral palsy. There are different ways of performing this measurement.
