No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how a functional electrical stimulation (FES) device worn on the lower leg effects how children (ages 6-17 years) with hemiplegic cerebral palsy walk and perform other functional activities.

The investigators expect to find that wearing the functional electrical stimulation device will improve walking and other functional activities of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will be trained in use of the device and will be required to wear it daily for 3 months. Each participant will be evaluated before beginning the intervention and after completing the intervention. This study will provide important information regarding the benefits of this treatment intervention in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
