Table 2. Comparison of factors associated with respiratory function in the two groups.
| Diplegic-CP group (n=19) | Hemiplegic-CP group (n=10) | |
| Truncal circumference (cm) | ||
| chest expansion | 4.29±1.43 | 4.50±1.18 |
| waist expansion | 2.06±0.88* | 4.10±1.37 |
| Respiratory strength (cmH2O) | ||
| MIP | 25.11±10.90* | 40.20±15.70 |
| MEP | 36.37±15.54* | 50.20±15.36 |
| Pulmonary function (l, %) | ||
| FVC | 1.24±0.44* | 1.63±0.57 |
| FEV1 | 1.06±0.37* | 1.50±0.53 |
| FEV1/FVC | 89.45±12.27 | 93.43±8.35 |
MIP (maximal inspiratory pressure), MEP (maximal expiratory pressure), FVC (forced vital capacity), FEV1 (forced expiratory volume in one second). Asterisks indicate a significant difference between the two groups, p<0.05.
