简要总结
The project aims to test the effectiveness and explore the possibility of performing a novel therapeutic approach, targeting to increase strength and coordination around the trunk, giving a more active and functional seating and head control in those children with cerebral palsy (CP) who are wheelchair users. The project will also try to determine the muscle physiological effect of treatment using indirect measures of strength in the spinal musculature.
