Camp Leg Power Makes Physical Therapy Fun for Kids

This Summer, the Center for Cerebral Palsy (CCP) once again held a unique camp experience for children with cerebral palsy. Campers exercised in the play yard with therapists and in the lab using a specialized knee exercise machine and an ankle robotic system with gaming technology for motivation. Meanwhile, researchers studied how the brain changes in response to this motor control therapy. Physician-scientists from the CCP, UCLA Brain Mapping Center, Department of Pediatrics, and the Tarjan Center at UCLA—a University Center for Excellence in Disabilities Education, Research and Service—worked together to evaluate each child’s unique needs.
