To evaluate the impact of treadmill training on cardiorespiratory endurance and constipation in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
Randomized clinical trial design
Participants included 36 children with spastic diplegic CP aged 4–10 years
Intervention involved treadmill training plus conventional physical therapy versus conventional therapy alone
Assessment of endurance using the 6-Minute Walk Test and constipation severity with the Constipation Assessment Scale
Data analysis employed MANOVA, independent t-test, and repeated-measures ANOVA.
Significant improvement in cardiorespiratory endurance in the treadmill training group compared to the conventional therapy group (p<0.001)
No significant difference in constipation severity between the groups (p=0.444)
Both groups showed improvements in constipation over time, but without between-group differences.
