About this study

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have altered gait patterns as a result of primary and secondary symptoms. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are frequently used to improve their gait. Despite evidence of AFO-effects on gait kinetics and -kinematics, the effects on muscle activity remain unclear. This study will investigate the effect of AFOs on the amplitude and timing, as well as the co-activation of lower limb muscle activity in children with spastic CP.
