Interventions
Behavioral: soccer play program
Registration Number
NCT03616080
Lead Sponsor
The Catholic University of Korea
Brief Summary

1. To figure out the effect of soccer play (once a week for 8 weeks) on pulmonary function in children with cerebral palsy

2. To find out if the leisure activity (soccer) increase the quality of life, motor function, gait function etc..

3. Safety of soccer play in children with cerebral palsy

Detailed Description

1. 1 hr of play once a week for 8 weeks of soccer program was done in the experimental group.

2. Both the experimental and control group were children with ambulatory cerebral palsy aged 5 to 12 years.

3. Several outcomes were measured before and after the program

* pulmonary function test including FVC, FEV1

* GMFM-88, PBS, walking test, muscle power sprint test, timed up and go, gait parameters

* Child Health Questionnaire Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50)

* KIDSCREEN

4. An accelerometer was worn before the program and during the program for a week (experimental group only)
