Neuromuscular electrical stimulation-assisted gait increases muscle strength and volume in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy

© 2015 Mac Keith Press. Aim: To determine if neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) applied to the ankle dorsiflexors during gait improves muscle volume and strength in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Thirty-two children (15 females, 17 males; mean age 10y 8mo, age...
