The Effects of Anti-gravity Treadmill Training on Gait Characteristics in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Cerebral palsy is a disorder that affects muscle tone, movement and motor skills. Most of the children with cerebral palsy (CP) are not able to walk or can walk in incorrect pattern and are dependent on assistive devices. Recently an antigravity treadmill has been found to be beneficial as a new therapeutic approach.

Therapeutic Effects of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Corticospinal Tract Activities and Neuromuscular Properties in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

The objective of this research was to study the therapeutic effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on corticospinal tract (CST) activities, reflex hyper-excitability, muscle stiffness, and the clinical status of children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Three children participated in this study. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks.
