Pathological and Physiological Muscle Co-activation during Active Elbow Extension in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological pathology caused by a defect or lesion of the immature brain, which leads to disorders of movement and posture. CP is characterized by a combination of motor impairments, including spasticity, hyper-reflexia, muscle weakness, loss of selective motor control and excessive muscle co-activation (CA). These motor impairments can severely limit activities of daily living (O'Shea 2008).
