简要总结
This study examines the impact of treadmill training on cardiorespiratory endurance and constipation in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Treadmill training is evaluated for its potential to improve cardiovascular fitness and alleviate constipation through its rhythmic movements. The findings shed light on the broader health benefits of treadmill interventions beyond motor function improvement in children with CP
详细描述
This research investigates the effects of treadmill training on two distinct yet interconnected aspects of health in children with cerebral palsy (CP): cardiorespiratory endurance and constipation.
The research employs a longitudinal design, with participants undergoing a structured treadmill training program tailored to their individual needs and abilities. Outcome measures include objective assessments of cardiorespiratory fitness (e.g., exercise stress tests, spirometry) and subjective evaluations of constipation symptoms (e.g., bowel diaries, symptom questionnaires). Additionally, the study examines potential correlations between improvements in cardiorespiratory endurance and changes in constipation severity, exploring the interplay between physical fitness and gastrointestinal function in children with CP.
By investigating the effects of treadmill training on both cardiorespiratory endurance and constipation, this research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the broader health benefits associated with exercise interventions in children with cerebral palsy. The findings may inform the development of integrated rehabilitation programs that address multiple aspects of health and well-being in this population, ultimately improving overall quality of life and functional outcomes.

结局指标
主要结局
6-mintues walk test
时间窗: Baseline - 12th Week
The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) is a standardized assessment used to measure a person's functional exercise capacity and endurance. During the test, individuals are instructed to walk as far as they can within a six-minute period along a flat, straight course. The test is typically conducted in a corridor or along a marked pathway, and the distance covered is recorded at the end of the test. Before the test begins, participants receive instructions on the procedure and are given the opportunity to ask questions. Baseline measurements such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation may be taken. Participants are encouraged to walk at a self-selected pace, and they are allowed to rest if needed during the test. However, the timer continues to run during rest periods.
Constipation Assessment Scale (CAS)
时间窗: Baseline - 12th Week
One commonly used tool for assessing constipation in children is the "Rome IV Criteria," which is part of the Rome IV diagnostic criteria for functional gastrointestinal disorders. These criteria provide a standardized framework for diagnosing constipation based on specific symptoms and duration requirements
VO2 Max
时间窗: Baseline - 12th Week
VO2 max, or maximal oxygen consumption, refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that an individual can utilize during intense or maximal exercise. This measurement is generally considered the best indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance.
Heart Rate
时间窗: Baseline - 12th Week
The number of pulses over a minute is the standard heart rate measurement. This can also be calculated by doubling the number of pulses felt over 30 seconds.
Respiratory Rate
时间窗: Baseline - 12th Week
