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.

Conditions
