Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health
Record ID 32011000984
English
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence included in this review suggests efficacy of FES on both impairment and activity limitations in children with cerebral palsy. However, small sample sizes, inadequate report of quality assessment of the primary studies and the high variability in the condition and in the intervention protocols lessen the strength of evidence regarding the clinical effectiveness of FES on functional mobility in this population.
