Training to enhance lower limb motor control in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. [ 2016 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Miss Shari O'Brien (Principal investigator)

Brief description Currently very few evidence based methods that can improve control in muscles affected by cerebral palsy (CP) exist. This project will investigate whether it is possible to increase strength and co-ordination in legs muscles affected by CP through targeted training. The project will also determine if non-invasive brain stimulation during training may enhance motor learning and if positive gains in strength and co-ordination might enhance the ability to do tasks like walking or climbing stairs.
