Summary

This study tests whether a very mild, painless electrical stimulation to the legs can help children and young adults with cerebral palsy keep their balance during everyday movements like standing up, walking, and turning. Participants aged 10 to 21 will perform these tasks with and without the stimulation to see if it improves their stability and reduces fall risk. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to make daily activities safer and easier.
