Acute Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation on Spasticity and Gait in Cerebral Palsy
University of Washington

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This research study will examine the acute effects of non-invasive spinal stimulation on spasticity and walking in individuals with cerebral palsy. The hypothesis is that walking with spinal stimulation will lead to greater reductions in spasticity than walking without spinal stimulation. Additionally, it is hypothesized that the average step length and Gait Deviation Index will be higher while walking with spinal stimulation compared to walking without spinal stimulation.
