Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation Combined with Locomotor Training Improves Functional Outcomes in a Child with Cerebral Palsy: A Case Study
Higher frequency and intensity interventions aimed at promoting neuroplasticity to improve movement quality in children with CP are emerging as a promising alternative to traditional physical therapy approaches. This case study highlights the potential of TSS to augment neuroplasticity-driven treatment approaches, leading to improvements in neuromotor function in children with CP. These findings suggest that TSS could be a valuable addition to rehabilitation strategies, warranting further research to explore its efficacy in larger populations.
