Sit-to-stand training for self-care and mobility in children with cerebral palsy: a randomized controlled trial.

A sit-to-stand exercise programme for children with CP classified in GMFCS levels III and IV improved sit-to-stand performance and resulted in small improvements in self-care and mobility, while reducing caregiver strain. What this paper adds Sit-to-stand training improved independence in self-care and mobility for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Home-based sit-to-stand training programmes for children with CP can reduce the burden on supervising caregivers.
