Additional Study Information:
We are studying the walking pattern of children with spasticity using a device called the TPAD. This helps us learn how individuals walk with waist support or react to perturbations. We hope to use the TPAD in the future to train children with spasticity with difficulty walking and to develop programs to improve their walking ability. The child may or may not have improvements in walking after participation. We are asking participants to: Wear a pelvic brace over shorts; Wear reflective markers to record motion while walking; each daily session about 1.5 hours (30 minutes of walking on a treadmill). You can choose to visit Columbia University Medical Center for 3 times per week for 5 weeks OR one single day
