Product Description:

Constipation affects nearly 30% of children worldwide. Children with cerebral palsy are at increased risk for constipation with an estimated prevalence as high as 74 %. Studies to date suggest pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) can be a useful tool in treatment of constipation in typically developing children, however these studies have been limited by small sample sizes. In addition, there are few studies examining PFPT use for constipation management in children with cerebral palsy (CP).
