Combined Functional Electrical Stimulation & Robotic Gait Training for Children With Cerebral Palsy
August 31, 2016 updated by: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the usefulness of a physical therapy treatment that combines robot-assisted walking with electrical impulses that help to make muscles contract.
This treatment is intended for children with cerebral palsy.
Up to eleven children with cerebral palsy will receive up to 18 treatments and will have several evaluations before and after treatment.
