OPEN CLINICAL STUDY: Neuromotor Control During Walking in Children With Cerebral Palsy

One out of every three children with cerebral palsy falls daily, with more than half of the falls occurring while walking. To avoid falling, the nervous system must continuously monitor how the body moves and, when an imbalance is detected, activate muscles for an appropriate correction. In this project, we will use small electrical stimulation of muscles and tendons that enhances the sense of body positioning, to allow children with cerebral palsy to generate more accurate balance corrections.
