The aim of our study is to examine the acute effect of Mollii Suit application on balance
and muscle tone problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Examination of the Acute Effect of Mollii Suit in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Mollii Suit

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common developmental disorder in childhood. Individuals'
independence in daily living activities and participation in education, games, social and
community activities are restricted. Technology applications in the field of
rehabilitation are gaining momentum. EXOPULSE Mollii Suit method, one of the newest
rehabilitation technology products, is a non-invasive neuromodulation approach with a
garment that covers the whole body and electrodes placed inside. Designed to improve
motor function by reducing spasticity and pain, the method is based on the principle of
reciprocal inhibition, which occurs by stimulating the antagonist of a spastic muscle at
low frequencies and intensities. Therefore, the aim of our study is to examine the acute
effect of Mollii Suit application on balance and muscle tone problems in children with
spastic cerebral palsy.

Examination of the Acute Effect of Mollii Suit in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Study

Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) developed by R. Palisano will be used
in the classification of motor function.

The MTS assesses the muscle's response to stretch at given velocities.

The modified Ashworth scale (MAS), has been applied in clinical practice and research as
a measure of spasticity. The modified Ashworth scale purpose is to grade muscle
spasticity.

NMC Tests means Neuro Muscular Control tests, and it consists of a number of fully
adjustable balance tests. The software calculates up to what point the person is able to
perform within the outlines of the exercise, and it will give a score per test. The tests
and their duration can be adjusted. Individually applicable and very handy. Once it is
adjusted, the same test can be repeated by just pushing a button. Time and results are
easy to compare with previous tests.

Evaluations will be made before the children are dressed in the Mollii Suit, and the
evaluations will be repeated after the children are dressed and practiced for 60 minutes.

Evaluations will be made before the children are dressed in the Mollii Suit, and the
evaluations will be repeated after the children are dressed and applied for 60 minutes
with the device in off mode.

Children will be evaluated and the evaluations will be repeated 60 minutes later.
