Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between trunk control, upper extremity functionality and balance in children with cerebral palsy and to compare this relationship with healthy sedentary children.This study is carried out through Eastern Mediterranean University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Pediatric Rehabilitation Unit.
Effects of Home Versus Hospital Based Action Observation Therapy on Balance, Mobility and Cognition in Diaplegic Cerebral Palsy. It will be a RCT we want to identify the effects of action observation therapy on patients coming to the hospital as compared to the patients at home. We will also identify the retaining effects of AOT. Our sample size will be 40 diplegic patients having no cognitive issues and able to walk with assistive device. We will exclude the patient who will suffer with severe comorbidities and visual impairment. We will randomly assign the patients into two groups A and B.A will receive Action observation therapy three times a day along with stretching exercises .while group B we perform AOT and stretching exercises at home with same frequency.
PURPOSE: To investigate the correlations between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia. BACKGROUND: Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture HYPOTHESES: There is no correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a correlation between body mass index, spasticity, functional ability and isolated motor control in children with spastic diplegia?
Cerebral palsy is primarily a disorder of movement and posture however; it often involves disorder of different aspects of cognitive function.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that causes activity limitation resulting from movement and posture deficiencies as a result of a lesion in the immature brain. 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.Hypertonus and abnormal motor patterns, lack of trunk control and postural disorders adversely affect the physical development of these children. Children with CP show various posture disorders due to proximal muscle strength losses leading to limitations and deficiencies in postural reactions. This leads to losses in reactive and antisipatory postural adjustments, and limits upper extremity functions such as walking, reaching, and eating. For this reason, children with CP have difficulties in maintaining balance while standing or sitting independently, walking, maintaining postural control in various environments such as walking, hills/uneven floors, performing activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.
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 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.
