Brief Summary:
The goal of this intervention study is to learn whether a physical therapy exercise camp called will improve leg movement (motor control) and functional ability in children with spastic CP who are between 5 and 18 years. The main questions the study aims to answer are:
* Does the ability to move the knee at high velocities improve?
* Does function such as walking, running, hopping, climbing stairs improve?
* Will the brain tracts that control movement change?
* Will children who have better independent control of joint motion improve more?
All participants will:
* Attend 15 sessions of an exercise camp for 3 hours per day
* Perform a home exercise program after the camp ends
Measurements:
* Lower extremity selective motor control
* Knee muscle strength at high speeds using an exercise machine
* Gross motor function
* Gait analysis (walking patterns)
* Parent's perception of their child's ability and their satisfaction with that ability
* Change in brain motor tracts using a scanner (MRI) for participants that meet the inclusion criteria for MRI
MRI measurements will be taken twice (before and immediately after the treatment). All other measurements and will be taken 3 times (before, immediately after the treatment and approximately 4 months after the treatment).
