Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This project examines the effectiveness of electrical stimulation therapies for improving motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). It compares Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES), Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), and Therapeutic Electrical Stimulation (TES) using evidence from randomized trials and meta-analyses. Findings show NMES improves strength and walking ability, FES enhances functional movement and neuroplasticity, and TES supports flexibility and reduces spasticity. Results suggest that combining these approaches yields the best outcomes for mobility and daily function.
