We examined 6 children with spastic diplegia who were able to walk independently. We studied effects of different ways of the adjustment of the reflex-load device (RLL) Gravistat/Graviton according to spatial-temporal characteristics of lower extremity muscle work during walking (innervation stereotype) in children with cerebral palsy in the form of spastic diplegia. The positive effect of axial load of RLL on the innervation type of walking was demonstrated. The choice of a specific way of RLL adjustment should be based, in some cases, on the analysis of EMG dynamics.
