Longitudinal trajectories of physical activity and walking performance by gross motor function classification system level for children with cerebral palsy.

CONCLUSIONS: Longitudinal curves demonstrate variations in PA and walking performance by functional level and provide prognostic information as to what changes may be anticipated for children with CP. Implications for rehabilitation Longitudinal developmental trajectories for physical activity and walking performance for children with cerebral palsy across functional levels are documented. Trajectories have potential to support collaborative intervention planning between therapists and families relative to physical activity and walking performance.
