Topographical working memory in children with cerebral palsy
Forty children with cerebral palsy (CP) and 120
typical developing children (TD) performed a topographic
working memory (WalCT) test requiring to move their body in
a walked vista-space and a visuo-spatial test (CBT) requiring
just reaching movements. WalCT score was significantly higher
in GMFCS II/III than in TD. CBT score was significantly
lower in GMFCS I than in III/IV but lower than TD in all CP
groups. Similar results in WalCT between GMFCS I and TD
and GMFCS II and III/IV respectively indicate that mobility is
