Summary

This study looked at whether adding a mild, sensory-level electrical stimulation to standard therapy could help children with spastic cerebral palsy move their ankles better and feel less stiffness. Eleven children aged 5 to 15 took part in a 12-week program. The goal was to see if this combined approach is practical and leads to improvements in movement and daily function.
