A preliminary study of modification of gait in real-time using surface electromyography.

Abstract
Modification of abnormal gait was attempted in real-time using a surface electromyography-based protocol to teach recruitment of the anterior tibialis at the correct time in the gait cycle. Two children diagnosed with cerebral palsy were able to learn volitional control of the anterior tibialis as demonstrated by improved clearance of the toe on the swing phase of the gait and newly learned ability to recruit and relax the anterior tibialis. The children were able to walk with the new gait pattern and reproduce the old one at will. Implications for future research in this area are discussed.
