研究概览
简要总结
The study aimed to ascertain how cross-education affected the activity of the paretic muscles in the upper limb and how that affected function in children with spastic hemiplegia and cerebral palsy. Additionally, it sought to determine how unilateral isokinetic resistance training affected children with spastic hemiplegia of the contralateral limb in terms of strength development.
