Filter by:The goal of the clinical trial study is to test the effect of the individual complex physiotherapy intervention program in the children actively playing soccer with flatfoot or valgus foot. The aims are: 1. see if the medial longitudinal arch will by actively more higher after the intervention 2. see if the type of the foot will change toward more neutral type after the intervention 3. see if the transfer of the centre of body mass through the foot during the gait will directed in more neutral line after the intervention The participants will undergo clinical assessment of short kinesiology assessment visually in underwear and barefoot. Then Participant will be tested for balance test in narrow stance with open and closed eyes, and single.leg stance with open eyes on the pressure mat. Finally, participant will walking in self-selected normal speed through the gait pressure mat. Eaxh procedure will be measured twice, before the program start and after the 4 weeks when the program finish. Researchers will compare these two measurement for the changes.
Maternal acute appendicitis during pregnancy is the most common abdominal surgical emergency. Long-term neurodevelopmental issues were scarcely reported. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of appendicitis and appendectomy during pregnancy in general anesthesia on the cognitive and psychomotor development of children.
The aim of the present study was to compare the duration of use of the Dynamic Scaffolding System (DSS) in children with different levels of motor impairment, to report adverse events during use, and to examine parental satisfaction. One hundred children with special needs aged between 9 and 108 months who had used the DSS device for at least 6 months and their parents were included in the study. The duration of daily use of the DSS device by the children, any adverse events during use, and parental satisfaction were assessed using the Quebec 2.0 Assistive Technology User Satisfaction Assessment Questionnaire.
The study is a randomized controlled trial of a telephone-based care coordination system for families who experienced Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs). The investigators will conduct the study in partnership with Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine (KPSOM) and 2-1-1 Los Angeles County (211LA), part of a national network of 2-1-1 call centers covering 93% of the US population. The study will test the effectiveness of 211LA in increasing referrals and services for families who screen positive for ACEs.
This study is an intervention trial that aims to estimate the impact of the Graduating to Resilience (G2R) program on child development in Uganda. In previous trials, the G2R program has generated large, positive impacts on household assets, consumption, income and food security. The investigators will revisit a sample of households enrolled in a G2R trial conducted in Uganda in 2019-2021 (AEARCTR-0004080) and assess children born during the intervention period.
In The Lancet's series on advancing early childhood development, provision of high-quality early childhood care and education was listed as one of the main factors that can maximize children's potential to succeed in later life, particularly children from vulnerable or disadvantaged backgrounds. High-quality early childhood care and education is widely understood to be important for equipping children with essential skills and competencies across academic and non-academic areas, which in turn increases school readiness and has long-reaching impacts on outcomes later in life. Despite the government's efforts to support the early childhood sector, educators in Singapore continue to report difficulties in implementing practices in classrooms that promote children's social, emotional and cognitive development. To enhance educators' skills in these domains, we developed the Enhancing and Supporting Early development to better children's Lives (EASEL) Approach, a set of universal educator-led practices for use with 3-6-year-old children to improve social, emotional, behavioral and executive functioning (SEB+EF) outcomes. This study will evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the EASEL Approach on improving early childhood educators' teaching practices and in turn, children's SEB+EF outcomes. We will conduct a type 2 hybrid implementation-effectiveness design in a cluster randomized controlled trial in 10-12 childcare centers. We will use the EPIS (Explore, Prepare, Implement, Sustain) Framework to support the implementation of the EASEL Approach. Implementation strategies include training, educator self-assessments, practice-based coaching, and data monitoring. Primary outcomes include educator's teaching practices and their adoption of the EASEL Approach in everyday practice. Secondary outcomes include the acceptability and feasibility of the EASEL Approach and children's SEB+EF outcomes. Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected at baseline, three months and six months.
This study aimed to evaluate the concurrent validity information of the 24-, 30-, and 36-month Indonesian ASQ-3 with the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development 3rd Edition (BSID-III) in Indonesian children. Children living in Tanah Tinggi subdistrict, Central Jakarta, were recruited conveniently from November to December 2019. Children within the 24-, 30-, or 36-month age group were assessed for Indonesian ASQ-3 concurrently with BSID-III as the reference standard according to their age groups. Screening test accuracy was measured in sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for both overall dan specific domains.
This project assesses the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the PROMT in children with a UMN lesion. The study questions are: is the newly developed PROMT a feasible, reliable, and valid tool to assess lower limb proprioception in children with UMN lesions? Does the PROMT differ between children with UMN lesion and controlled neurotypically developing peers? Further, does the proprioception modalities assessed with the PROMT correlate with motor function in this group of children?
This study aimed to provide the validity and reliability of the Indonesian ASQ-3 questionnaires as a screening tool for developmentally delayed children aged less than one year old. This study was divided into 2 phases. The first phase (April-June 2018) included the transcultural adaptation of the ASQ-3 questionnaires for 2 to 12 months age groups from English to Indonesian. The second phase (July- September 2018) included a cross-sectional study of Indonesian ASQ-3 questionnaires for parents/caregivers of children aged 1-12 months, with 35 children in each age group by cluster sampling methods, in 2 district areas in East Jakarta.
The BeE-school (Be Empowered in school) is a cluster-randomised trial that addresses the complexity of the social challenge (vulnerable school-age children). It aims to analyse the effectiveness of the intervention program, based on the promotion of health literacy and lifestyles, specifically on children's: 1-health literacy and infodemic resilience (Aim 1); 2- lifestyles (e.g. dietary intake, 24hmovement behaviour) (Aim 2); 3-overweight and obesity (Aim 3); 4-blood pressure (Aim 4). The project converges multiple disciplines (e.g. public health, informatics, law) and researchers with proven expertise in these fields to provide comprehensive and innovative answers. 478 children (6 schools) aged 6-12years old will participate in this cluster-randomised trial, having schools as the unit of randomisation, assigned into intervention (239-3schools) and the control arm (239 - 3 schools). This project will perform a social listening (online and offline) and bottom-up approach to tackling NCDs, focusing on health literacy and health promotion and recognising children's systems in daily life (e.g. family, teachers). Stakeholders' involvement goes far beyond a merely consultative approach; the researchers are committed to a genuine codevelopment process. Data collection includes sociodemographics, health literacy and infodemic resilience, dietary intake and children's 24-h movement behaviour (e.g. accelerometry), anthropometry (e.g. weight, height and waist circumference) and blood pressure. Data collection will occur at baseline and after the intervention (follow-up, 6 months after the beginning of the intervention). Expected outputs and outcomes include the creation of a model for characterising NCDs and health topics based on artificial intelligence techniques (e.g. deep learning, and social network analysis methods); improved health literacy and infodemic resilience of children, families and teachers; enhanced children's lifestyles (e.g. dietary intake, 24-h movement behaviour); reduction of NCDs' physical risk factors (e.g. overweight, raised blood pressure); feasible intervention program about health promotion and NCDs' prevention for school-aged children with vulnerabilities, and advocacy- policies about health promotion and NCDs' prevention.
