“…Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbance occurring in the developing infant brain [1]; CP is often associated with premature and low birth weight survivors [2,3]. Children with CP commonly present with spasticity, lower limb flexor muscle group weakness [4], and reduction in selective motor control [5,6], which affect functional and walking ability over time [7]. Children with CP who are ambulant either with or without the assistive mobility aids will show some degree of pathological or abnormal gait [8].…”

This study explored the test-retest reliability and construct validity of a two-minute walk test in children and adolescents with CP Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I, II, and III. Twenty-six participants with CP (age 11.7 ± 3.9 years) were recruited and were assessed twice with the two-minute walk test to determine the test-retest reliability (interval 2 weeks). Minimal detectable changes (MDC95) were calculated. Construct validity was established by comparing the results of the two- and six-minute walk tests during the first assessment. The test-retest reliability was excellent, with intra-class correlation (ICC) = 0.98 for all participants. The (MDC95) for all participants was 12.7 m. The distance covered by children and adolescents with CP in the two-minute walk test had high correlation (r = 0.9, p < 0.01) with distance covered in the six-minute walk test. The two-minute walk test is a valid and reliable outcome measure to assess walking performance in children and adolescents with CP. HIGHLIGHTS The two-minute walk test has excellent reliability and validity among young people with cerebral palsy The minimal detectable change of two-minute walk test among young people with cerebral palsy was 12.7 m The two-minute walk test had high correlation with the six-minute walk test among young people with cerebral palsy

Postural Control Influence on Upper Extremity Function among Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Literature Review

Abstract: Performance of upper extremity function and movement sequence is influenced by postural control. Motor disorders lead to deficits in postural control, which subsequently may lead to postural instability of children with cerebral palsy (CWCP).
