Availability for physical therapy twice a week for four months. The following inclusion criteria will also apply to one group of children: 1) degree of cooperation compatible with the administration of NMES and 2) tolerance to NMES at a motor threshold level (visible muscle contraction).

•Neurological or orthopedic conditions unrelated to cerebral palsy. Orthopedic surgery on the lower limbs in the 12 months prior to selection. Surgery scheduled during the period of the study. Equinus not reducible to neutral (ankle at 0 degrees) or incompatible with the use of orthoses following the application of BT-A in the triceps surae.
