abstract = "The purpose was to evaluate the effects of adding a wheel assisted running training (WART) to conventional mixed physical activity training (CT) program on function, and walking in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Thirty children with CP, GMFCS 2-4 were assigned to either WART or CT groups (15 in each group). Energy Expenditure Index (EEI), the Gross Motor Function Measure 66 (GMFM), and walking velocity using the 10-meter test were administered by a trained physical therapist. The intervention period was six months, with tone to two sessions per week. Results: No significant group and time differences were found, except for cadence, which was lower in the CT group Post test. Conclusion: Both types of intervention appear to conserve and buffer the trend of decreased motor performance and efficiency often observed in children with CP without training intervention.",
