- Original description
One of the main motor control issues in hemiplegic CP is spasticity, which affects the flexor muscles of the upper limb. This spasticity causes the limb to adopt a flexed posture, limiting the range of motion and contributing to a decreased ability to perform tasks that require precise movement and controlled muscle activation. Several studies have demonstrated that EMG biofeedback can significantly improve upper limb function in children with hemiplegic CP. Also, mirror therapy has gained recognition as an innovative and effective rehabilitation method for children with hemiplegic CPRead full original descriptionShow less
