Les tests de terrain d’évaluation de la condition physique chez l’enfant paralysé cérébral – Validité et fidélité test-retest –

Abstract

Practice of regular physical activities improve the physical and mental health of children and adults. Numerous studies on children, teenagers and adults with normal growth have seen the light of day for over 10 years and have enabled the establishment of a national and international public health policy in favor of daily physical activity. For children and teenagers with cerebral palsy, we currently do not find recommendations for the physical activities. In order to support cerebral paralyzed children and teenagers as closely as possible to their health needs, an initial assessment of their physical condition seems essential. Thus, this article shows the results of the current publications and studies concerning field tests of physical condition, validated and reliable, in children and/or teenagers with cerebral palsy.
