Effects of EKKO Versus Conservative Treatment for Gross Motor Functions in Cerebral Palsy Patients
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
"Cerebral palsy (CP) affects gross motor function variably, with the spastic type notably impacting movement, coordination, and balance. Research highlights that spastic CP, characterized by muscle stiffness, can severely hinder activities like walking and running. Interventions such as gait training and vibrational therapy have shown promise in enhancing muscle function and body movements. A new device, EKKO, uses vibrational waves based on Neurotransmission Cognitive Theory to improve gross motor skills in children with CP by applying mechanical vibrations to nerve points.
