Quantifying Energetic Demands of Walking for People With Cerebral Palsy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Varying levels of harness support during walking for Cerebral Palsy. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the underlying mechanisms that contribute to high energy costs for people with cerebral palsy (CP) as they walk. The investigators will characterize the cost landscape of children with CP, quantifying the magnitude of cost (net nondimensional oxygen consumption) associated with walking and common sub-tasks of walking, such as supporting and stabilizing the body.
