Summary
Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) improved mobility and quality of life for a cerebral palsy (CP) patient with lower limb spasticity (LLS). This therapy enhanced gait speed, step length, and neuromuscular efficiency, reducing pain and improving well-being.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Sports Science
Background:
- Cerebral palsy (CP) causes motor impairments like spasticity, affecting mobility.
- Current treatments for spasticity have limitations and side effects.
- Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) is explored as an alternative therapy for CP.
