    Spasticity is considered to be one of the key injuries of upper motor neuron syndrome (such as cerebral palsy) and the main cause of disability in childhood


    Nerve injury, including stretch hyperreflexia, can be treated with botulinum toxin injection, oral or intrathecal baclofen, or selective dorsal rhizotomy


    The current clinical standard for assessing extensional hyperreflexia is to perform manual rotation around the relaxed joints of passive patients and to score the perceived resistance to rapid extension of the muscle-tendon complex according to one of several available clinical scales


    The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the treadmill disturbance program can energize the calf muscle stretching reflex in children with cerebral palsy and a typical developmental control group


    24 children with spastic cerebral palsy and 14 children with normal development participated in the study


    24 children with spastic cerebral palsy and 14 children with normal development participated in the study


    Participants walked on a treadmill in a virtual reality environment

    Treadmill disturbances include a brief acceleration of the belt during the first stance, pulling the foot back and stretching the calf muscles
