Abstrakt:	Purpose: The purpose of this pilot case series was to describe participation in high-intensity gait training (HIGT) and changes in (1) gait speed/endurance, (2) aerobic capacity, and (3) walking ability in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: Three children with CP participated in HIGT for 5 weeks in lieu of their routine physical therapy. Outcome measures were collected at baseline and post-intervention. Results: Post-intervention, all had at or above the minimal clinically important difference for 10-m walk test speed and 6-minute walk test distance. Two participants performed above the minimal clinically important difference in 7.5-m shuttle run test level and Gross Motor Function Measure-88 Dimension E score. Conclusion: This case series demonstrates short-term improvements in the walking outcome measures with participation in HIGT. Further research is needed with a larger and more diverse randomized controlled trial to determine parameters and long-term effects of HIGT in this population.
