Summary

This study looked at how spasticity (stiff muscles) affects balance reactions in 40 children with cerebral palsy. Researchers used moving platforms to gently push kids off balance and measured their muscle activity and body movements. The goal was to better understand the link between spasticity and balance control, which could help design better therapies in the future.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Children with spastic cerebral palsy, who have routine follow-up care at the CP reference center of the university hospitals Leuven. Typically developing children are recruited through the social and professional network of involved researchers and thesis studies, who approach participants through flyers and social media.
