Aerobic Responses to FES-Assisted and Volitional Cycling in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Recumbent stationary cycling is a potential exercise modality for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) that lack the postural control needed for upright exercises. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) of lower extremity muscles can help such individuals reach the cycling intensities that are requ...
