Bilateral spastic cerebral palsy

1. Bilateral spastic cerebral palsy impairs lower limb strength in humans.

   “Lower-limb strength was consistently reduced in CPO compared with TD groups and was lower than CPY in most contraction modes.”

1. Bilateral spastic cerebral palsy increases energy cost of walking in humans (approximately 8 vs. 4 J·kg−1·m−1).

   “CPO also exhibited a higher CoW (approximately 8 vs. 4 J·kg−1·m−1).”
