Interlimb muscle coordination during walking at different speeds in children with spastic cerebral palsy

Project overview

Walking requires precise coordination between muscles of both legs, and this coordination can change with walking speed.

This project investigated how children with spastic cerebral palsy coordinate muscles between the left and right legs while walking at different speeds. By analyzing muscle activity patterns, the study aimed to better understand how speed influences coordination strategies.

Improved knowledge of interlimb coordination may help guide gait training and rehabilitation strategies tailored to different walking demands.
