PhysZou emPOWER: a strength, power, and gait intervention group physical therapy program for children with CP
Each session will include a 10-minute game-based warm-up, 45 minutes of gait interventions to include treadmill and overground walking as well as other aerobic activities, 45 minutes of resistance training (power and strength training as appropriate for their individual goals), and a 10-minute cool-down incorporating yoga and breathing activities. To ensure participants are exercising at the appropriate level of intensity, 1 repetition maximum measures will be used to determine the appropriate levels of resistance and heart rate monitors will be worn.
