Summary

This study looks at children aged 6 to 18 with chronic constipation or fecal incontinence. Researchers want to see if pelvic floor muscle function is linked to how they walk, balance, and move, as well as their overall quality of life. Using muscle sensors and walking tests, the goal is to better understand these connections.

What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't test any therapy. The findings may not apply to all children.
