Brief summary

to investigate the function of the autonomic nervous system in children with with post traumatic brain injury and children with cerebral palsy through an analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) occurring with walking performance.

Detailed description

40 children with brain damage (20 with post TBI and 20 with CP)and 40 typically developed children will be participate in this study. ECG signals during rest and walking (for 6 minute and during step climbing) will be recorded.
