Development of a simulation platform to study the role of joint hyper-resistance in functional tasks in children with cerebral palsy. KU Leuven
Joint hyper-resistance to movement affects 85% of children with cerebral palsy (CP), the most common cause of physical disability in children. Joint hyper-resistance is an important treatment target in CP. Yet, its contribution to gait and balance impairments is poorly understood because it has been hard to associate clinical test outcomes to gait and balance deficits. Here, we will test a novel hypothesis about the mechanisms underlying ...
