Summary

This study looks at how ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) change the way leg muscles work in children with cerebral palsy. Researchers will measure muscle activity while children walk with and without the brace. The goal is to better understand how AFOs affect movement, which could help improve future treatments. The study involves 30 children aged 6 to 17 who already use an AFO as part of their care.
