Filter by:A new rehabilitative approach, called AOT, based on the discovery of mirror neuron system (MNS), has been used with promising results on the Upper Limb (UL) function in some studies in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The purpose of the present trial is to provide evidence by an RCT, preceded by a pilot study, that customized and home based AOT training is an effective rehabilitation tool in children with diplegic CP (DCP) and that its effects are greater than standard care. Both Hands Assessment (BoHA) is chosen as primary outcome measure and a sample size of 27 per group is required. The rehabilitation lasting 8 weeks will be provided at home by an ICT platform able to deliver, manage, monitor and measure a personalized AOT.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that starts in the early stages of life, causes activity limitation, and consists of movement and posture deficiencies. Children with CP usually have difficulties in mobility, transfer and social participation due to many motor and sensory disorders such as muscle weakness, decreased postural control, balance, spasticity. Many children with CP have difficulty in balancing independently, walking, walking on hills/uneven ground, and performing daily physical functions.
In this study, video-based action observation training and live action observation training in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy; It was aimed to examine the effect on motor function, activity participation and secondary outcome measures.
The purpose of this study is to investigate lower limb impairments in children with bilateral cerebral palsy during stepping tasks.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cycling functional electrical stimulation applied to the lower extremities of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) on the gait parameters and daily living activities.
Activity based therapy is gaining interest for rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP). A home-based comprehensive programme structured on the principles of activity based therapy seems to hold promise in the field of rehabilitation of children with diplegic CP.This may reduce morbidity as well as promote better quality of life in these children . In this backdrop our study has been planned with an aim to evaluate the efficacy of a comprehensive home-centred activity based programme for children with diplegic CP.
