The 6 Minute walk test is a standardized, self-placed walking test commonly used to access functional ability in children with cerebral palsy. While decreased exercise capacity has been identified in children with cerebral palsy, the clinical determinants of the 6MWT in this population have not been investigated yet. Thus the aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between 6 Minute walk test, quality of life, respiratory muscle strength,activities of daily living using with Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory and trunk control.
