Abstract
Eccentric and explosive strength training have the potential to stimulate in-series sarcomere addition in children with cerebral palsy (CP), as previously seen in typically developing children. This adaptation would enable greater muscle power generation. Similarly to previously used ankle robotic therapy, we believe the CPWalker robotic platform is an optimal tool as it may deliver individualized eccentric and explosive strength training during gait and under highly controlled conditions. Thus, a proposal for an 8 week CPWalker training program for children with CP is described.
