| Abstract |
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) perform less physical activity than their typically developing peers (TDP). Pain, important comorbidity in children with CP, restrains levels of physical activity. This study aims at exploring the influence of chronic pain in physical activity of children with CP and TDP. 24-hour heart rate was registered in four groups of children: children with CP and TDP, with and without chronic pain. Heart rate based indexes of physical activity (MET percentages, energy expenditure) were computed. A self-reported diary of activities rated activities pain and fatigue intensity. Children with CP and chronic pain reported more painful activities and higher pain than their TDP with chronic pain. Moreover, children with CP and chronic pain presented higher time and periods of light activity and less sedentary activity than their TDP with chronic pain. No differences were found between CP and TDP without chronic pain. Children with CP regulate physical activity differently than TD children in the presence of chronic pain. The maintenance of light levels of physical activity in children with CP may suggest efficient pain coping strategies and perseverance in participation. These findings encourage the implementation of programs to improve fitness in this population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 October 2018.
All research outputs
#15,097,241
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from NeuroRehabilitation
#450
of 863 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#233,436
of 449,583 outputs
Outputs of similar age from NeuroRehabilitation
#31
of 64 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 863 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 449,583 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 64 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 51% of its contemporaries.
