About

The study foucs on pediatric rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy through personalized vibration therapy powered by artificial intelligence.

Full description

Innovative approach to reduce spasticity, improved motor function, quality of life. Vibration therapy reduces spasticity by activating the body's natural stretch reflex, which in turn triggers muscular contractions. Furthermore, it has been proposed that the primary ends of the muscle spindle Ia afferent are stimulated by muscular vibration. This leads to the excitation of alpha motor neurons, subsequent contractions of motor units, ultimately producing a tonic muscle contraction. This study will modify vibration therapy by introducing Artificial intelligence to rehabilitate the patients suffering from spastic CP.
