Study Summary
The overall goal of the proposed work is to develop and to assess the feasibility of using functional electrical stimulation (FES) system to improve crouch gait in individuals with cerebral palsy that may prevent the typical downward spiral of walking function decline in individuals with CP that occurs from adolescence into adulthood.
Primary Outcome
We use the Modified Ashworth Scale to measure resistance to passive movement about a joint with varying degree of velocity (Muscle tone/spasticity). Score ranges from 0-4, with 6 choices where score of 0 means no increase in tone and score of 4 means rigid limb with no flexion or extension. Our training approach using repetitive electrical stimulation may also lower spasticity, which can also facilitate improved functional mobility.
Interventions
- DEVICE Functional Electrical Stimulation.
