Study Overview

Brief Summary

to investigate the effect of the reciprocal neuromuscular electrical stimulation on balance and quality of life in hemiparetic children

Detailed Description

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation is widely used to reduce spasticity and strengthen weak muscles.

Reciprocal electrical stimulation ( RES),which mimic natural agonist-antagonist muscle activation , is a promising too for neuromuscular re-education.

RES has been studied for knee stability in diplegic CP and ankle control in adults but its effect on static and dynamic balance in hemiparetic CP remain unexplored . so this study may be a guide in management of balance problems in children with hemiparesis
