Last month, I reported that the American Physical Therapy Association's Section on Pediatrics Research conducted a research summit a couple of years ago to examine the current literature on physical fitness and secondary condition prevention in children with cerebral palsy (CP). When results of this meeting appear in this month's issue of the journal Physical Therapy, the article will be one of the first reviews of fitness in children with CP published in the journal.
This month, I will continue to discuss the article in terms of its major findings on the topics of cardiovascular health and secondary conditions.
