Summary
Description Cerebral palsy.jpg |
English:
Researchers in the Clinical Center's Rehabilitation Medicine Department (RMD) are studying an electrical stimulation device designed for children with cerebral palsy who suffer from foot drop and tripping when walking. The WalkAide device stimulates the muscle that lifts up the ankle and the foot on the lower leg. In addition to its success in gait improvement, the RMD team found that electrical stimulation reversed some of the leg muscle wasting caused by the disorder and, in several patients, preserve and increased muscle strength.
