Scientists probe how braces change Kids' steps

NCT ID NCT06532981

Summary

This study aims to understand how ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs), a common type of leg brace, affect muscle activity in the legs of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will measure muscle signals in 30 children, aged 6 to 17, while they walk with and without their braces. The goal is to gather detailed knowledge about how these braces work, which could help improve future care.
