An investigation of the effect of functional electrical stimulation to assist the gait of children with cerebral palsy (Conference abstract)

This study looked at the use of electrical stimulation for ambulatory children with cerebral palsy.  There is limited research of FES in paediatric patients but this paper investigates the use of FES in either the dorsiflexors (to correct toe walking) or plantarflexors (to assist stance) during gait in this patient group.
