Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess whether the Energy Expenditure Index (EEI), based on heart rate (HR) adjusted for speed, was a clinical indicator of the Oxygen Consumption Index (OCI), oxygen consumption (VO₂) adjusted for speed, during self-paced walking in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (CP) and children without physical disabilities (ND). Ten children with spastic diplegia CP and 15 children who are ND participated. VO₂ and HR were measured at rest and during self-paced ambulation using an AeroSport KB1-C portable metabolic system, and the EEI and OCI were calculated. A fair to good correlation (r = 0.61) between EEI and OCI was found for children with spastic diplegia CP ambulating at self-paced speeds while only a moderate correlation (r = 0.40) was found for children who are ND. The results suggest that the EEI may be a useful clinical indicator of OCI at self-paced ambulation speeds in children with spastic diplegia CP and warrants further investigation.
