The amount and influence of additional consumption of training during the 1-year follow-up was also analysed. DESIGN: Quasi-experimental with 2 groups: Lemo (n=23) and Move&Walk (n=29). PATIENTS: A total of 52 children with cerebral palsy, age range 3-16 years. METHODS: Data included repeated measures with Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-Functional Skills (PEDI-FS). Data on additional consumption of training was collected at the 1-year follow-up. RESULTS: There was no difference in proportion of change on the clinical measures between the training programmes, except for a higher proportion of improvement on the GMFM total score in Lemo. At the group level, small improvements were shown on GMFM and PEDI FS in the short-term and on PEDI FS only at 1 year. A higher proportion of children who participated in repeated intensive training periods showed improved social functioning. CONCLUSION: No major differences were shown between the 2 training programmes. One intensive training period facilitated small improvements in gross motor function. The majority of children had a high consumption of training during the 1-year follow-up and the added value of repeated intensive training periods was limited.
