Brief Summary
Population: 16 children with cerebral palsy, GMFCS 1-3.16 children typically developed, matched for age. All children aged 6-12 yrs who understand simple commands. Tools:
- 1.Polar monitor to record heart rate, attached to chest, in use throughout testing
- 2.Dynamometer- for assessing muscle strength.
- 3.Weights
- 4.5 min sitting at rest,
- 5.knee muscle strength assessment with the dynamometer,
- 6.15 minutes rest
- 7.Isometric and isotonic knee muscle contraction at 30% of childs' maximal strength as has assessed by the dynamometer. The child will asked to perform each for 3 minutes, with 5 minutes rest in-between All will be perform in both legs.
