Filter by:Various gait deviations are observed in children with cerebral palsy. Our aim was to determine the effect of cognitive task (CT) and motor task (MT) on gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). 15 children with CP, between 9-15 years old, with Communication Function Classification System (CFSS) level I, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) level I-II were included in the study. The gait with four different conditions (single gait, CT, MT and CT&MT) was evaluated by Kinovea video analysis method on a 10-meter course. Results:
The study tries to see the effect of using a combination of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and autologous fat as a filler for injection laryngoplasty procedures to treat unilateral adductor vocal cord paralysis.
Forty children with cerebellar ataxia ranged in age from five to nine years old, they were randomly assigned into two matched control and study groups. The control groups received the selected physical therapy program three times weekly one hour per session while the study group received core stability training for 30 minutes in addition to the selected physical therapy program. Both groups were evaluated by SARA Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia, Balance Error Scoring Systems scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor Proficiency 2ed subtest 4 (bilateral coordination), and subtest 7 (upper limb coordination), and HUMAC Balance System before and after two months of intervention.
This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Compliance of Parents of Children with Cerebral Palsy to Home Program Assesment Questionnaire (CPHP-Q), a caregiver-report for adherence and frequency of home program implementation of parents of children with Cerebral Palsy.
Bell's palsy is the sudden one-sided peripheral weakness of seventh cranial nerve (Facial nerve), represents 50% to 75% of all etiologies with a rate of 58.2 to 8 new cases per 1 million per year. The objective is to compare the effects of Kabat techniques and Neuromuscular Re-Education on facial disability and synkinesis in patients with bell's palsy. A Randomized Control Trial was conducted on 20 participants, equally allocated in Kabat and PNF training group from February-2020 until December- 2020. Participants were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria on purposive sampling technique and randomization was done by sealed envelope method. The assessment was done after taking consent before the first and last session. The tools included Facial disability index, Sunnybrook facial grading system and synkinesis assessment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.20.
Peripheral facial palsy is caused by damage to the facial nerve at any site of the peripheral branches after the facial nucleus.Stellate ganglion block is performed to treat peripheral facial palsy because it increases blood flow and promotes nerve regeneration.Facial Nerve Block worked with elimination of local inflammation of nerve and oppression. Facial nerve block is a treatment that inject drugs into the damaged nerve around to eliminate local inflammation and compression of the nerve.
Background :Spasticity is a motor disorder in children with cerebral palsy (CP) Cp is a non progress lesion in unmature brain lead to a group of chronic disorders that affect movement and posture development, may be accompanied by epilepsy, secondary musculoskeletal problems, deformaties and disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behavior Few studies demonstrate effectiveness of laser therapies in spasticity in cp. Methodology : This study is randomize control trail aimes to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the spasticity of hamstring and calf muscle in children with CP over 12 session of intermittent laser exposures. Muscle tone , gross motor function, rang of motion (rom ) and poplital angle will evaluate before and after laser irradiation in 30 children with CP both geneder aged between two to six years old diaplegic clidren , exclusion children who take botox or done surgery . Muscles will irradiated with low-intensity diode laser pulses of 808-nm wavelength three times per week over one month follow up for one month.
The purpose of this study was to determine the association between the anatomical characteristics of neck and postoperative diaphragmatic paralysis in patients undergoing interscalene brachial plexus block before shoulder arthroscopic surgery.
A total of 26 patients who were diagnosed with CP [diplegic, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of 2-5] and who regularly participated in a rehabilitation programme were included in the study after obtaining approval from their parents. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (n = 13) received conventional therapy (65 min, 2 days/week ×8) and group 2 (n = 13) received 25 minutes of robot-assisted gait training (RoboGait®) in addition to conventional therapy (40 min, 2 days/week ×8).
There are studies investigating the dual-task effect in sitting, standing up without sitting and walking in children with spastic CP. Some of these studies investigated motor-motor, some of them motor-cognitive dual-task states, and children with CP were compared to typically developing children. In all these studies, it is clearly seen that children with CP have more dual-task complexities than their typically developing peers. Some of these studies draw attention to dual-task education in children with CP. However, other than a randomized controlled study and a case report in the literature, we did not find any studies investigating the effectiveness of dual-task training in children with CP. When the literature is examined in detail, there is no study that examines the effect of dual-task exercise programs on walking activities and children's participation in daily life in children with CP. This study has been planned based on this deficiency in the literature. Based on ICF, This study has been planned dual-task training for children with CP.
