Aim The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of functional gait training
on walking ability in children and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Method The review …

Detailed descriptions of gait impairments have been reported in cerebral palsy (CP), but it is
still unclear how maturation of the spinal motoneuron output is affected. Spatiotemporal …

Neural control of locomotion in human adults involves the generation of a small set of basic
patterned commands directed to the leg muscles. The commands are generated …

Background. Ankle impairments are closely associated with functional limitations in children
with cerebral palsy (CP). Passive stretching is often used to increase the range of motion …

This review discusses the methodologies available in the literature, usually utilized to study
the foot-ground interaction in the human locomotion. For this purpose, PubMed, Web of …

Standing and walking require a plethora of sensorimotor interactions that occur throughout
the nervous system. Sensory afferent feedback plays a crucial role in the rhythmical muscle …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a treadmill program on gross
motor function, walking speed, and spasticity of ambulatory adolescents with spastic …

Children with cerebral palsy commonly exhibit an abnormality called crouch gait, which is
characterized by excessive flexion of the hips/knees and weak plantar flexor muscles during …

Many studies have investigated the changes of spinal neuronal networks in patients with
cortico-subcortical or spinal lesions occurring during adulthood. In contrast, little is known …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate neural effects of acute whole body
vibration (WBV) on lower limb muscles regarding corticospinal and spinal excitability …
