Study Summary

One out of every three children with cerebral palsy (CP) falls daily, with more than half of the falls occurring while walking. To avoid falling, the nervous system must continuously monitor how the body moves and, when an imbalance is detected, activate muscles for an appropriate correction. In this project, we will use small electrical stimulation of muscles and tendons that enhances the sense of body positioning, to allow children with CP to generate more accurate balance corrections.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Stochastic Resonance (SR)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
During this condition, participants will walk on the treadmill while receiving SR stimulation at their individual optimal intensity (SR) with and without visual perturbations.
Group II: No Stochastic Resonance (noSR)Active Control1 Intervention
During this condition, participants will walk on the treadmill while receiving no SR stimulation (noSR) with and without visual perturbations.
