Résumé / Abstract
Assessing the occurrence of spasticity on gait of children with cerebral palsy (CP) remains challenging. One approach is to detect EMG activity during gait just after some kinematics stretch-reflex thresholds, previously determined during passive assessment, have been exceeded [1]. However, these thresholds are determined through EMG-Onset detection algorithms, which have variable performances [2].
