Cerebral palsy treatment apparatus and methodology employs a transcutaneous electronic wave to suppress pain and increase motor function. A first positive contact electrode is placed at the frontalis, and a second negative contact electrode is placed at the occiput of the head. Alternatively, the first positive contact electrode is placed at the cervical spinous process and the second negative contact electrode is placed at each affected muscle. An electronic current wave comprising relatively high frequency pulses with a low frequency amplitude modulation is then applied between the first to the second electrodes. |
