To compare the clinical and functional effects of treadmill training combined with anodic transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) on the primary motor cortex (Cz), specifically on the area of motor cortex representation of the lower limbs, and on the cerebellum (Cb) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).
Thirty children and adolescents with spastic CP will be randomly allocated in 3 groups: (1) treadmill training and atDCS on Cz; (2) treadmill training and atDCS on Cb; (3) treadmill training and sham tDCS on Cz. Evaluations of gait spatial-temporal parameters, functional mobility, functional balance, gross motor function, and functional performance will be performed 1 week before intervention and 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after intervention. Every 3 months the participants will cross over groups.
This is a protocol for an intervention study comparing the clinical and functional effects of atDCS over Cz and Cb.
比较跑步机训练结合阳极经颅直流电刺激（atDCS）对痉挛型脑瘫（CP）患儿初级运动皮层（Cz），特别是下肢运动皮层代表区，以及小脑（Cb）的临床和功能影响。
30名痉挛型CP儿童和青少年将被随机分为3组：（1）在Cz进行跑步机训练和atDCS；（2）在Cb进行跑步机训练和atDCS；（3）在Cz进行跑步机训练和假tDCS。将在干预前1周以及干预后1周、1个月和3个月进行步态时空参数、功能移动性、功能平衡、粗大运动功能和功能表现的评估。每3个月参与者将进行组间交叉。
这是一项干预研究方案，比较atDCS对Cz和Cb的临床和功能影响。
