The effect of prolonged walking on muscle fatigue and neuromuscular control in children with cerebral palsy
Ettema, Sanne; Oudenhoven, Laura M.; Roeleveld, Karin; Buizer, Annemieke I.; van der Krogt, Marjolein M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Muscle fatigue of the lower limbs is considered a main contributor to the perceived fatigue in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and is expected to occur during prolonged walking. In adults without disabilities, ... -
