| Description of Study: |
Children and young adults with cerebral palsy can have trouble with daily tasks such as standing up from a chair and sitting down on the chair. They have difficulty maintaining balance, that can lead to falls. This raises their risk of disability as they age into their teens. Current treatments are not very effective. In this study, individuals will be asked to stand up from a stool, walk in a straight line, turn, and sit back. Subjects will receive very low-intensity electrical stimulation that cannot be felt to help increase their sensory perception. We will test balance using motion capture cameras and perform other clinical measures. |
