| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to examine the association of the longitudinal changes in sitting, mobility, gross motor function, and activities of daily living with muscle thickness and echo intensity of the trunk and lower extremity muscles assessed using an ultrasound imaging device in 33 children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. The measurement of the second year was performed, and the measurement of the third year is continuous in the present stage.
