Summary
This study looks at whether a very mild, unnoticeable electrical stimulation to the legs can help children and young adults with cerebral palsy (ages 10–21) maintain balance during everyday movements like standing up, walking, and turning. Participants will perform simple tasks while researchers measure their balance and movement. The goal is to find a new way to reduce falls and improve daily function.
