Summary
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of childhood disability affecting function and development. The incidence of the condition has not changed in more than 4 decades, despite significant advances in the medical care of neonates. It is not a single disease but a symptom complex of a wide variety of static neuromotor impairment syndromes occurring secondary to a lesion in the developing brain [1,2,3]. Post-impairment syndrome is common in adults with CP This is often difficult to diagnose as its symptoms mimic other conditions related to CP including fatigue, weakness, and repetitive strain injuries. Many adults with CP experience a decline in walking ability and function despite that 70-80% walk independently or with gait aids. Maintenance of walking ability is important for independence, quality of life and participation in social activities [5]
