First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether using a passive kinesiotherapy device on the legs for 30 minutes can immediately reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve walking in people with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke-related weakness, or spinal cord issues. About 80 participants will have their muscle tone, walking patterns, and fall risk tested before and after using the device. The goal is to see if this simple, non-invasive approach offers quick relief and better movement.
