The short term effect of gait retraining using real-time visual kinematic feedback in a child with cerebral palsy

A child with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) who has stiff knee gait (SKG) was trained by real-time feedback on his knee joint pattern during treadmill walking. The participant’s knee flexion angle increased remarkably in the first feedback trial and this change was maintained in the same training session when feedback was removed.
