Ankle dorsiflexion fMRI in children with cerebral palsy undergoing intensive body‐weight‐supported treadmill training: a pilot study

This pilot study investigated the feasibility of using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a physiological marker of brain plasticity before and after an intensive body‐weight‐supported treadmill training (BWSTT) program in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Six ambulatory children (four males, two females; mean age 10y 6mo, age range 6–14y) with spastic CP (four hemiplegia, two asymmetric diplegia, all Gross Motor Function...
