Brief summary
In children with cerebral palsy, secondary problems lead to hip dislocation and scoliosis. But There is no definite evidence for the dislocation of hip and scoliosis. The investigators want to verify evidence of scoliosis and dislocation of hip.
Detailed description
Observation cohort study. The investigators will measure for finding evidence by checking the x-ray photograph, hip adductor muscles pressure test and electromyography(EMG test) test of hip adductor and spine muscles

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Severe cerebral palsy patients(GMFCS level 3,4,5) * 2 to 10 years old
Exclusion criteria
* Those who disagree with the study. * other than cerebral palsy.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| hip adductor and spin muscles electromyography(EMG) test | once at study, when patient enrolled | Use EMG to check the activity of the hip adductor and spine muscles of participants. This figures will give investigators a look at the association with a hip dislocation. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Whole spine AP and total Hip AP X-ray photograph | once at study, when patient enrolled and after once every six months for three years | Whole spine and total Hip joint are checked with X-ray photograph. and investigators will check the progress of hip dislocation and spinal scoliosis. |
| hip adductor muscles pressure meter test | once at study, when patient enrolled | Pressures of hip adductors muscles are measured from pressure meter. and This figures will give investigators a look at the association with a hip dislocation. |
