Summary

Cerebral palsy is a group of disorders characterized by lack of coordination in the muscles, loss of movement, and speech disturbances. These disorders are caused by injuries to the brain that occur during fetal development or near the time of birth. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of high frequency, low magnitude vibration on bone and muscle in children with cerebral palsy.
