Ballistic strength training in adults with cerebral palsy may increase rate of force development in plantar fexors, but transition to walking remains unclear: a case series
Gjesdal, Beate Eltarvåg; Mæland, Silje; Bogen, Bård Erik; Cumming, Kristoffer Toldnes; Nesse, Vilde Cathrine; Torberntsson, Silje Marie Rydningen; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Persons with cerebral palsy (CP) walk with reduced ankle plantar flexor power compared to typically developing. In this study, we investigated whether a ballistic strength-training programme targeting ankle ... -
Can adults with cerebral palsy perform and beneft from ballistic strength training to improve walking outcomes? A mixed methods feasibility study
Gjesdal, Beate Eltarvåg; Mæland, Silje; Williams, Gavin; Aaslund, Mona Kristin; Rygh, Cecilie Brekke; Cumming, Kristoffer Toldnes (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Power bursts of hips and ankle plantar flexors are prerequisites to walking propulsion. However, these power bursts are reduced during gait for persons with cerebral palsy (CP) and mainly in the ankle plantar ...
