Effects of Virtual Reality Training Versus Motor Imagery in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Start date: February 25, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by brain injury that appears in infancy, children have mostly issues of gross motor functions, and activities of daily living. Virtual Reality is an innovative technique for the improvement of balance and motor function in most of the neurological conditions. Motor Imagery is an ability to engage in the mental representation of a task consciously without generating a voluntary movement. The aim of this study is to determine the comparative effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery on balance, gross motor function and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy.

NCT ID: NCT06303427 Not yet recruiting - Erb's Palsy Clinical Trials

Effects of Modified Constraint-induced Movement Therapy With and Without Electrical Stimulation in Erb's Palsy

Start date: March 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

ERB's palsy is an injury of upper section of the brachial plexus (C5-6) leading to an internally rotated and adducted shoulder and a pronated forearm. Modified constraint-induced movement therapy improves the functionality of the affected limb, while electrical stimulation helps in the improvement of active range of motion and muscle strength in ERB's palsy patients. This study aims to investigate the effects of modified constraint-induced movement therapy with and without electrical stimulation on range of motion, muscle strength, and motor functions in patients with ERB's Palsy.

The aim of our study is to examine the acute effect of Mollii Suit application on balance and muscle tone problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

NCT ID: NCT06295419 Not yet recruiting - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

The Effect of Dual Task on Manual Ability Performance in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dual task conditions on manual dexterity performance in young people and children with CP between the ages of 7-18 and to compare it with their peers. Evaluations to be made in the study (children with CP) and control (typically developing peers) groups: - Demographic information, Gross Motor Function Level (GMFCS), Manual Skills Classification System (MACS) and dominant extremity will be noted and the evaluation will begin by applying the Abilhand Kids questionnaire. - Firstly, the child's performance on a single cognitive task will be evaluated in a supported sitting position on a chair. The cognitive task will be the n-back task (counting down task) to be applied in accordance with the level of the child or young person. - Using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), participants will be asked to score the difficulty of the cognitive task as a number between 0 and 10. - In order to evaluate the single motor performance of manual skills, the 9-Hole Test will be applied and the times will be recorded by asking to write a given paragraph. - Dual task evaluations will be administered by giving a simultaneous cognitive task while administering the 9-Hole Test and writing a paragraph. - In order to reveal the dual-task cost (DTC), dual-task performance will be subtracted from single-task performance and the difference will be calculated in seconds. - The Body Control Measurement Scale will be applied for body evaluation purposes. As a result of this study, the changes in manual dexterity and cognitive performance in dual-task conditions in children and adolescents with CP will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance in dual-task situations will be compared with a control group of typically developing children.

NCT ID: NCT06295107 Recruiting - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

Reliability of Range of Movement Measurements in Cerebral Palsy

Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim is to investigate the inter-rater reliability of passive range of motion (pROM) measurement with goniometer of knee extension and ankle dorsiflexion for children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP) and secondary to explore to what extent spasticity influences the reliability.

NCT ID: NCT06288958 Completed - Clinical trials for Unilateral and Bilateral Cerebral Palsy

Quality of Life in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Start date: April 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is an umbrella term that defines a group of permanent disorders of movement and posture, happening during the developing foetal or infant brain. In addition to the main motor symptoms, other clinical disturbances are associated. CP represents a clinical condition with an impact in Quality Of Life (QOL) and social participation, as reported in different countries. QOL is a multidimensional construct defined as "an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards, and concerns" (WHOQOL, 1998). In order to best capture the peculiarities of CP, specific questionnaires were carried out to analyse the QOL in this clinical population. The Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life Questionnaire for Children (CP QOL-Child) is an internationally recognized CP-specific instrument based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. Many studies have used this instrument, showing a lower QOL in children with CP compared to their typical developing peers. In literature, several studies have shown that children with CP are at risk of experiencing activity limitations and participation restriction and which can potentially affect their QOL. Participation in daily-life activities, defined as a person's "involvement in a life situation," and participation restriction, characterised as "problems an individual may experience in involvement in life situations" (ICF, World Health Organization, 2001). Studies aimed at describing participation in daily-life activities in CP have consistently found lower frequencies and fewer activities in children and adolescents with CP. In order to gain an overall picture of the QOL and participation of children and adolescents with CP, several studies underline the importance of analysing other background factors, such as motor and cognitive functioning, pain perception, and individual characteristics. The present study aims to deeper understand the perception of QOL and social participation in a group of Italian children with CP, as reported by their parents, using two commonly used questionnaires in the CP population (CP-QOL and PEM-CY). In addition, this study aims to explore the roles of specific clinical variables, such as motor function and cognitive level, on parental perceptions of QOL, in the development of QOL and participation.
