Evaluating the Effects of an Electrical Stimulator on Improving the Walking Ability of Children With Cerebral Palsy (NCT06811545)
Exploring the Effects of Multi-Joint Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Training Gait of Children With Cerebral Palsy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to see if gentle electrical stimulation can help children with cerebral palsy (CP) walk more easily. This stimulation, called neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), sends small pulses to muscles to help them activate. Researchers will test different ways of using NMES to find out which method works best. Participants will walk on a treadmill at a comfortable speed while NMES is applied to leg muscles. The study will compare different stimulation settings to see which one helps the most.
