Cerebral Palsy maybe/maybe not

But there is a sub group, wherein the motor control is actually OK when tested seated performing moves as requested by the examiner. But devoid of sensory control, they just freeze up. Canes, something to touch (couches, walls, chairs on wheels, lawn mower toys) often results in magical

appearance of what was thought to be absent motor control.

Sensors that generate signals to make round the chest belt vibrations can be used to increase knowing. Making AFOs flexible & thin and designed to increase skin sensation as they deform can unfreeze these kids. Thick rigid AFOs remove more sensory cues and make them worse. Sensory types tend to improve over time if you can keep them going. They are rewiring new neural pathways the way the blind do wonders with sound.
