Filter by:The objective of this study is to compare the effects of mime therapy using mirror therapy application of tablet PC vs mime therapy on acute bell's palsy. Study Design was Randomized control trial with Sample Size was 22. Sampling Technique was Purposive sampling. Randomization was done through a sealed envelope method. Study Setting included Physiotherapy department of DHQ Teaching Hospital, Mirpur Azad Kashmir. Inclusion criteria were Age between 30-60year, Both male & female and Acute bell's palsy ( 2-3 weeks). Exclusion criteria were Individuals with the other neurological deficits, Visual impairment, History of facial palsy of central type, Surgical intervention for ear and facial nerve palsy and Non-co-operative patients. tools used for assessment was Sunnybrook Facial Grading system scale, House-Brackmann Facial Grading System and Patients Global Impression of Change. Individuals who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study. All participants went through randomization and divided into two groups Experimental group 1 (these individuals will receive mime therapy using tablet PC mirror application)and Experimental group 2 (these individuals will receive the control intervention including the mime therapy). Pre-intervention assessment is made for both groups. Then intervention will apply to both groups. Estimated time of treatment protocol will be 30 minutes session, 4 times/week for 4 weeks in the hospital setting. Subjects will be evaluated at baseline, then 2nd week and 4th-week assessment will be the final. All statistical analyses were performed through SPSS 21. Normality of data was assessed and after checking normality parametric or non-parametric test was applied accordingly. .
BACKGROUND: Walking and balance problems are among the most common problems in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Hip abduction and extension muscle function insufficiencies are common in children with CP. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate and long-term effects of Kinesio® Taping (KT) applied on the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles on walking, functionality, balance, and participation in children with unilateral spastic CP. METHOD: This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The study included 20 children with unilateral spastic CP: 11 in the taping group and 9 in the control group. KT was applied in the taping group for 4 weeks in addition to a physiotherapy program. The control group received only the physiotherapy program. Body structure and functions were evaluated with the Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBBS). Activity was evaluated with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), Gross Motor Function Scale (GMFM-88), the BTS G-Walk Spatiotemporal Gait Analysis System. Participation was evaluated with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Evaluations were made at the beginning of the study and 30 minutes after the first tape application, and at the end of 4 weeks in the taping group. The level of significance was accepted as p<0.05.
Rehabilitation status of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and anxiety of their caregivers during the covid19 pandemic were explored. 206 caregivers who voluntarily accepted to participate were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and evaluated about the rehabilitation status of their children.The anxiety levels of all caregivers were found high and the rehabilitation programmes of the children were interrupted.
This cross-over study analyzes a novel and inclusive approach in how therapy for adolescents with CP is administered, with the main goal of examining the effects of a functional exercise intervention on motor capability and motor capacity. It is to investigate the effects of a functional movement-based exercise intervention in a group setting on motor capacity, motor capability and quality of life in adolescents with CP compared to standard therapy.
This study evaluates the therapeutic effects of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) with home-based hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (H-HABIT) with unilateral cerebral palsy. Half of the participants will receive CIMT and H-HABIT and others will only receive CIMT.
As many researches have been conducted to see the effects of vestibular system activation on gross motor activities of children with cerebral palsy but there are limited researches on improvement of motor abilities of hemiplegic cerebral palsy child using UEU or BOSU ball or treadmill in a single study. There is lack of research on vestibular stimulation in hemiplegic cerebral palsy along with neurodevelopmental treatment. This study will improve the gross motor activities of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It will broaden up the ways for physical therapist to deal with this type of cerebral palsy (hemiplegic).
To investigate the Effect of Kabat motor control re-education therapy on facial nerve Electro physiological responses and facial muscles function in bell's palsy. BACKGROUND: facial nerve recovery in children could be improved through facilitation of nerve regeneration which can be enhanced through Kabat motor control re-education therapy.
The human body needs a system to control and coordinate its action plan in order to perform an effective action. This system works irregularly or inappropriately in people with Cerebral Palsy (CP). An alternative to controlling these disorders is automatic movement modulation such as dance. Dance, whose main purpose is to achieve a satisfying motor performance, increases motor learning with sensory, perceptual and emotional components. Although the effects of dance therapy on functionality, balance and participation in people with CP have been previously examined in the literature, it has been reported that the evidence is insufficient and more studies are needed. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of adaptive dance exercise program on trunk control, balance and functional mobility in children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy.
In children with cerebral palsy, the quality of walking decreases due to a decrease in the ability to control limbs, including walking, and coordination among various activities of daily living due to a decrease in functional independence and quality of life. Gait disorder is one of the important therapeutic goals of children with cerebral palsy, and recently robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) induces changes in brain plasticity, so it will help improve gross motor control and coordination control.
The aim of this research is to find the effects of aerobic exercise on gross motor function in cerebral palsy patients. Quasai experimental study done at Noor Zainab Rehabilitation center, Lahore. The sample size was 34. The subjects were divided in two groups, 17 subjects with aerobic exercise 17 children with conventional treatment. Sampling technique applied was purposive non probability sampling. Only 7-12 years individuals with GMFCS level I- III were included. Tools used in the study were Gross motor function measure (GMFM-66 and 88) .Data was be analyzed through SPSS 21.
