About

Aim: To investigate the relation between forced expiratory volume at first second and peak expiratory flow with gross motor function level in the children with cerebral palsy.

Methods and Procedures: Thirty children with cerebral palsy from both sexes were included in this study. The children ages ranged from 3 to 11 years old.
