Brief summary

Fatigue is a common symptom associated with cerebral palsy (CP); it has been estimated that up to 40% of adolescents with CP experience fatigue that impacts their quality of life and daily activities. Although fatigue was stated as the primary symptom, a limited number of studies were found on secondary motor and nonmotor symptoms related to trunk control in children when the literature was examined.
