Restricted arm swing affects gait stability and increased walking speed alters trunk movements in children with cerebral palsy

Observational research suggests that in children with cerebral palsy, the altered arm swing is linked to instability during walking. Therefore, the current study investigates whether children with cerebral palsy use their arms more than typically developing children, to enhance gait stability. Evide...
