Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Children With Stroke
Research into neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for children with cerebral palsy and children post-stroke is limited. However, a recent review suggests that evidence for NMES is sufficient for improvement of gait and muscle strength as well as hand function and walking speed when combined with botulinum toxin and task-specific training.1 NMES is also referred to as electrical stimulation (eStim), functional electrical stimulation (FES), or muscle stimulation.

Comparative Effectiveness of Robot-interactive Gait Training With and Without Ankle Robotic Control in Patients with Brain Damage
To compare the effect of robot-interactive gait training (RIGT) with and without ankle control actuator on tibialis anterior (TA) and gastrocnemius (GCM) muscle activity and joint kinematics in participants with stroke or cerebral palsy (CP).

Improving walking ability in people with neurological conditions: A theoretical framework for biomechanics driven exercise prescription
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how knowledge of the biomechanics of walking can be used to inform the prescription of resistance exercises for people with mobility limitations. Muscle weakness is a key physical impairment that limits walking in commonly occurring neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and stroke. Few randomised trials to date have shown conclusively that strength training improves walking in people living with these conditions. This appears to be because 1) the most important muscle groups for forward propulsion when walking have not been targeted for strengthening,...
