Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by permanent or variable sensory-motor function impairments resulting from developmental anomalies or damage to the brain. Spasticity, dystonia, postural disorders, and weakened movement patterns can hinder the development of the respiratory system in children with CP. As the severity of postural disorders increases in children with CP, inadequate or improper use of respiratory muscles and insufficient ventilation reduce the mobility of the thoracic cage. The aim of study is to investigate the effects of respiratory muscle training on respiratory parameters, trunk control, walking, and functional independence in children with CP.
