Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria for the CPG (Cerebral Palsy Group) will be the diagnosis of cerebral palsy; grade mild or moderate; diparesis type; grade I (without walking restrictions, limitations in the more advanced gross motor skills) and II (walk without assistive devices, with limitations in space open and community) according to the GMFCS (Gross Motor Function Classification System). For CG (Control Group), the inclusion criteria established will be the absence of any motor; perceptual; sensory and cognitive commitment.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria for the CPG (Cerebral Palsy Group) will be considered the presence deformity in the lower limbs or spine that compromises stay in the upright posture and cognitive changes that undermine the understanding of the tasks performed during avaliação. For the CG (Control Group), exclusion criteria will be the diagnose of any malformations; genetic syndromes; congenital defects; deformities postural or other changes that may bring harm to the neuromotor; cognitive and emotional development of the child. For both groups, be an exclusion criterion the presence of respiratory symptoms or respiratory disease with prior interval of one month of evaluation.

|---|---|
| The results indicate that children with cerebral palsy will present shortest distance achieved during the pediatric reach test compared to their typical motor development pairs , which will be verified by the displacement of the styloid process of the initial position to touch the target. The reference value found in the literature for the anterior dislocation in typical children vary between 22,7cm and 37cm , and there is a reference value for children with cerebral palsy.;Children with cerebral palsy showed less distance reached during pediatric reach test compared to their typical motor development pairs. The mean value found for typical children (16.05 cm ) was lower than that found in the literature ( 22,7cm and 37cm ) . | — |
