Summary
This interventional study will evaluate the effects of an intensive HABIT-ILE-based camp on cardiorespiratory measures and body composition in children with cerebral palsy. Although intensive motor control-based therapies such as HABIT/HABIT-ILE have shown functional benefits, the novelty of this study is the assessment of energy expenditure during functional tasks and post-intervention changes in body composition. Participants will attend a summer camp-format intervention delivering 90 hours of upper and lower extremity training over 15 days (6 hours/day), supervised by trained rehabilitation staff in a playful, progressive group setting. The program includes bimanual activities, gait and stair tasks, functional strengthening, and whole-body games, with fatigue prevention strategies.Assessments will be performed at baseline and immediately after the camp in July 2027, with follow-up at 6 months (January 2028). Outcomes include functional performance, parent-reported function, low-intensity task-related energy expenditure measured in a physiology laboratory, and body composition measured by DEXA at Universidad Europea de Madrid
