About
Hemiparetic cerebral palsy has been characterized increased the asymmetry in the distribution of body weight between the affected and unaffected lower limbs and ineffective foot clearance during swing phase. This has been shown to result in an increased in the abnormal gait. This study aims to investigate the effect of rhythmic auditory stimulation combined with functional electrical stimulation on gait in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
Full description
A few studies have examined the benefits of music therapy showed that that weight-bearing stance time on the paretic side and stride symmetry improved with rhythmic cueing. Furthermore, the variability of integrated amplitude ratios decreased during the midstance/push off phase on the paretic side.
Improving walking safety, speed, postural control, balance and gait training are essential objectives for gait rehabilitation for hemiparetic children to prevent falls and subsequently to improve quality of life.
