Transition Aged Individuals With Cerebral Palsy Have Larger Clinical Gains With Visual Performance Feedback During Power Training
VFB during power training has the potential to results in larger clinical gains for transition aged individuals with CP. Individuals with higher GMFCS levels, lower muscular strength and muscular power at baseline might not demonstrate as large of gains after power training even when VFB is provided. Alternative treatment strategies should be considered for these cases. Nevertheless, our results convey that learning to perform fast lower extremity motor actions likely has clinically relevant benefits for transition aged individuals with CP.
