Abstract

This paper is a suggestion on how to improve or extend a known method of exercising the tibialis anterior muscle for improved mobility for children with cerebral palsy through neuroplasticity. We suggest that by using slightly altered existing devices, in this case the Actuated Guitar, it is possible to motivate children to do functional activities as regular exercises and that it will provide better results when compared to traditional exercises.
