Functional electrical stimulation in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is defined as the electrical stimulation of muscles that have impaired motor control, in order to produce a contraction to obtain functionally useful movement. It was first proposed in the 1980s as a treatment option in children with cerebral palsy (CP). FES is used to achieve a direct orthotic effect during gait, for example, by triggering the dorsiflexo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Functional Electrical Stimulation to Assist Cycling in Four Adolescents with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Introduction. Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) often have difficulty participating in exercise at intensities necessary to improve cardiovascular fitness. Functional electrical stimulation- (FES-) assisted cycling is proposed as a form of exercise for adolescents with CP. The aims of this paper were to adapt methods and assess the feasibility of applying FES cycling technology in adolescent...
متن کاملElectrical Stimulation In Cerebral Palsy
Children and adults with cerebral palsy may have one or more of a variety of movement disorders and primary involvement of both lower limbs, one side of the body or all of the body including the muscles of speech and respiration. Because of the diversity of motor control in cerebral palsy [CP], general scales of functional ability have been developed to improve communication among medical careg...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation changes dynamic resources in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often are faced with difficulty in walking. The purpose of this experiment was to determine the effects of functional electrical stimulation (FES) applied to the gastrocnemius-soleus muscle complex on the ability to produce appropriately timed force and reduce stiffness (elastic property of the body) and on stride length and stride freque...
متن کاملEffect of Child Factors on Parental Attitude towards Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy in Iran
Objectives: To determine the role of child factors in the prediction of parental attitudes towards children and adolescents with CP in Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used. One hundred fifty-two children and adolescents with CP aged 7-17 years (mean = 10.93, SD = 3.46) with a mother aged at least 25 years were selected using systematic random sampling. The Mother-Child Relati...
