Children and adolescents with cerebral palsy:
• No diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP)
• GMFCS Level IV-V
• Not able to climb stairs
• Contraindication for an MRI examination (e.g. metals in and on the body such as prostheses, large-scale tattoos made from metal-containing dyes, pacemakers, piercings or subdermal jewelry implants that cannot be removed)
• Pain, injury, or orthopedic / surgical intervention in the lower extremities, pelvis, or spine
• Surgical interventions, botulinum toxin or other interventions affecting the musculoskeletal system during the study period or in the last six months.
• Obesity
• Children and adolescents who would need sedation for the planned MRI examination are excluded
• No written consent to participate in the study

Study & Design
- Study Type
- observational
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Magnitude (Newton) and orientation of the force vector (in degrees) of the hip joint force.<br>The resultant hip joint contact force is calculated using musculoskeletal modeling. For this calculation, kinematic as well as kinetic and electromyographic data are collected experimentally, which are collected by means of a 3D-motion analysis.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Kinematic parameters (range of motion at knee and hip joints) during the execution of the rehabilitation exercises.<br>
