Summary

This study tested whether adding electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to a 4-week cycling program helps children with cerebral palsy improve balance, walking, and mobility. 26 children aged 6-10 took part, with half receiving EMS during cycling and half doing the cycling program alone. The goal was to see if the extra stimulation leads to greater gains in movement.
