Clinical Trial Summary

Cerebral Palsy is the most common cause of motor disability in children. It can lead to a deficit of the upper limb which alters the realization of daily activities, in particular in bimanual situations, and eventually leads to a decrease in their participation. Three-dimensional (3D) movement analysis is a tool that provides an accurate and objective measurement of movement. This technology allows us to understand and characterize movement anomalies in order to guide and adapt therapies to the upper limb. The majority of 3D upper limb analysis protocols used to measure the effect of interventions, such as botulinum toxin injections indicated for the treatment of spasticity or other innovative rehabilitative therapies, are unimanual and do not study bimanual function, which is more representative of the actual use of the upper limbs in daily life. Recently, a 3D bimanual analysis protocol called "Be An Airplane Pilot" (BE-API), taking place in an innovative play context, has been developed and validated in PC children. The 2nd version of the protocol (BE API 2.0) also allowed the exploration of new parameters in a bimanual situation such as the fluidity and the trajectory of the movement. In order to determine the interest of the BE API 2.0 protocol in routine clinical evaluation of the upper limbs, its sensitivity to change, i.e. its capacity to detect modifications caused by a therapy on the movements of the upper limbs is necessary (e.g.: Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremity (HABIT ILE), botulinum toxin injections).

Intervention

Procedure:
HABIT ILE rehabilitation course
The HABIT-ILE course, created by the Belgian team of Prof. Yannick Bleyenheuft, is a rehabilitation of the upper and lower limbs, following the concepts of structured motor learning and intensive therapy. The internships last 2 weeks and are performed on a multi-year basis since 2018 at the SSR pediatric, Fondation Ildys, Site de Ty Yann in Brest. In this group, upper limb assessments are performed the week before and the week after the HABIT ILE training course
botulinum toxin injections
Toxin injections are used for their effect on the local reduction of spasticity after intramuscular injection. This treatment is usually offered to these children every 6 months or so for functional improvement. These botulinum toxin injections are organized on a weekly basis in a pediatric day hospital (CHU Morvan in Brest). In this group, upper limb assessments were performed 0-2 weeks before and then 4 to 6 weeks after the botulinum toxin injections (see table below), at the peak of the toxin's efficacy.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary To study the sensitivity to change of the BE API 2.0 bimanual 3D analysis protocol by measuring the change in the severity of movement deviation in the upper limb before and after therapy The Arm Profile score is a kinematic index that reflects the severity of the subject's movement deviation compared to the "normal" deviation of healthy children. 2 months
Secondary To measure the change induced by the therapy on the parameters measured in movement analysis (kinematic), clinical and functional measures at the deficient MS (comparison before and after therapy). kinematic parameters measured in motion analysis with the BE API 2.0 protocol 2 months
Secondary To measure the change induced by the therapy on the parameters measured in movement analysis (spatio-temporal), clinical and functional measures at the deficient MS (comparison before and after therapy). Spatio-temporal parameters measured in motion analysis with the BE API 2.0 protocol 2 months
Secondary To study the association between the parameters measured in motion analysis clinical/functional measurements (kinematics and spatio-temporal parameters) before and after therapy. Correlation of motion analysis measurements (kinematics and spatio-temporal parameters) measured with the BE API 2.0 protocol before and after therapy to clinical. 2 months
Secondary To study the association between the parameters measured in motion analysis with the BE API 2.0 protocol (kinematics and spatio-temporal parameters) before and after therapy. Correlation of motion analysis measurements (kinematics and spatio-temporal parameters) measured with the BE API 2.0 protocol before and after functional measurements 2 months
Secondary Compare the dominant and non-dominant upper limb of PC children on parameters measured in motion analysis with the BE API 2.0 protocol (kinematic and spatio-temporal), before and after therapy. Compare motion analysis measurements (kinematics and spatiotemporal parameters) of dominant and non-dominant MS measured with the BE API 2.0 protocol before and after therapy 2 months
