Summary

The aim of our study is to examine the acute effect of Mollii Suit application on balance and muscle tone problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Detailed description

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common developmental disorder in childhood. Individuals' independence in daily living activities and participation in education, games, social and community activities are restricted. Technology applications in the field of rehabilitation are gaining momentum. EXOPULSE Mollii Suit method, one of the newest rehabilitation technology products, is a non-invasive neuromodulation approach with a garment that covers the whole body and electrodes placed inside. Designed to improve motor function by reducing spasticity and pain, the method is based on the principle of reciprocal inhibition, which occurs by stimulating the antagonist of a spastic muscle at low frequencies and intensities. Therefore, the aim of our study is to examine the acute effect of Mollii Suit application on balance and muscle tone problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Conditions

• Mollii Suit
• Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Molli Suit Apply	Exopulse Mollii Suit is a neuromodulation application that has been extensively evaluated and is a reliable technique in patients with spasticity. Unlike many neurostimulation techniques that focus only on symptomatic muscles, Suit relieves spasticity and associated pain by stimulating the weakened antagonist of the spastic muscle. Its wearable structure is designed to manage spasticity and associated pain in both upper and lower extremities.
