Article Synopsis
- Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) show less selective and simplified muscle activation while walking due to brain injury and associated muscle changes.
- A study using high-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) compared muscle activity in adolescents with CP and typically developed (TD) adolescents during treadmill walking, revealing more uniform muscle activation in CP individuals.
- Findings indicate that the less structured muscle activation in CP is linked to stronger ankle co-contraction and spasticity, providing insights into motor control deficits and potential improvements from interventions.
