Summary

The goal of the present study was to look at the effect of changing walking parameters on the dynamic walking characteristics among children post severe traumatic brain injury, children with cerebral palsy and typically developed controls.

Detailed description

leisure time physical activity by the Godin and Shephard (G\&S) questionnaire. Balance tests - the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and functional reach test (FRT). Maximal isometric strength was assessed by using a hand held dynamometer; walking dynamics were recorded by an electronic mat, and the 6 minute walk test, energy expenditure index (EEI) and perceived exertion by the OMNI scale.

Conditions

• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	walking under varies conditions	The children were asked to walk an electronic mat, three cycles for each one of the different trials as comfortable regular speed, walking as fast and as slow as possible, walking on straight line etc
OTHER	walking under varies conditions	walking on electronic walkway under different conditions
