Brief summary: Cerebral palsy (CP) causes problems in posture, movement, breathing, postural control and balance in individuals. This work; This study was conducted to examine the relationship between functional exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength, trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description: Cerebral palsy (CP) causes problems in posture, movement, breathing, postural control and balance in individuals. This work; This study was conducted to examine the relationship between functional exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength, trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy.

23 children with spastic type CP and 22 typically developing children aged 6-18 years were included in the study. After recording the demographic data, the trunk control "Trunk control measurement scale" (TCMS), the activities of daily living "Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory" (PDI), the balance "Pediatric Berg Balance Scale" (PBDI), functional exercise capacity "2 Minute Walking Test" and respiratory muscle strength was evaluated with maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) measurements. Compared to individuals with typical development, individuals with CP had lower TCMS, PPI, PBRS, 2-minute walking test and respiratory muscle strength values (p\<0.01). At the same time, it was observed that individuals with hemiparetic CP had better TCMS, PPI, PBRS scores, functional exercise capacities and respiratory muscle strength compared to individuals with diparetic disease and individuals with CP at GMFCS I level compared to individuals with other levels. It was found that there was a high correlation between trunk control, balance and functional capacity of individuals with CP. It was concluded that the influence on trunk control affects balance and functional capacity. There was also a correlation between the scales.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being between 6-18 years old,
* Having been diagnosed with spastic hemiplegic or spastic diplegic cerebral palsy,
* No communication problem,
* GMFCS level was determined to be between I-III.

Exclusion Criteria:

* The parent who will answer the form does not know Turkish,
* Orthopedic surgical treatment and botulinum toxin injection in the 6 months before the study,
* It was determined as having other orthopedic, neurological and cardiopulmonary diseases that may affect balance and gait.
