Study of the Effect of Peripheral Somatosensory Stimulation on the Functionality of Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Reduced Mobility

The physiotherapy protocol has been developed using the GMFCS scale as a reference. Based on this assessment, each patient's level is determined according to their functional motor abilities, limitations, and use of assistive or mobility devices. Each protocol consists of a total of five exercises: two general exercises and three specific exercises focused on the phases of the corresponding transfer and on skills common to all transfers. Rest periods of 2 minutes and 30 seconds are provided between exercises to ensure adequate recovery and a safe progression. The somatosensory stimulation will consist of intermittent mechanical pressure applied to the skin over the neuromuscular motor points of the quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscles. T
