Filter by:Children with spastic cerebral palsy experience falls due to weakness in balance skills and abnormalities in gait parameters. It is necessary to improve the quality of life of these children by reducing the frequency of falling. Aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Neurodevelopmental Treatment on the risk of falling and balance and to contribute to the literature on this subject. Cases were randomized into study and control groups. At the beginning of the study, the balance skills of all the cases with spastic cerebral palsy were measured with the Pediatric Balance Scale, and the gait parameters and fall risks were measured with the LEGSys Temporospatial Gait Analysis Device. Then, an 8-week, case-specific, neurodevelopmental therapy program with intensive gait and balance training was applied to the study group in a 45-minute single session, 2 days a week. The control group received 8 weeks of conventional physiotherapy. At the end of the treatment process, the evaluations were repeated with the same methods.
Objective: To compare the effects of incentive spirometer as a visual feedback versus deep breathing via mirror mediated therapy on pulmonary function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. To determine the effects of incentive spirometer as a visual feedback versus deep breathing via mirror mediated therapy on sleep and quality of life in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy (CP) causes problems in posture, movement, breathing, postural control and balance in individuals. This work; This study was conducted to examine the relationship between functional exercise capacity, respiratory muscle strength, trunk control, balance and activities of daily living in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy.
The aim of this study is to improve the manufacturing techniques of hip brace in preventing progressive hip displacement in patients with severe cerebral palsy, through the measurement of patient's physical size using a 3D scanner.
The effects of different physiotherapy programs on children with cerebral palsy who have been received botulinum toxin injection and serial casting application will be determined.
The aim of the study is to compare the conventional rehabilitation program and the distortion taping applied with Kinesio Tex tape in addition to conventional rehabilitation in children with hemiplegic or monoplegic cerebral palsy with ankle varus deformity.
The aim of the study is to compare the conventional rehabilitation program and derotation taping applied with Kinesio Tex tape in addition to conventional rehabilitation in children with hemiplegic or monoplegic cerebral palsy with femoral internal rotation deformity.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is an activity limitation, movement and posture deficiencies in early stage of life. In 80% of these children, upper extremity (UE) dysfunctions are observed, which leads to loss of quality of life, resulting in limited participation in activities of daily living (ADL). When the hands are affected in UE, fine motor skills such as grasping, writing and object manipulation are usually limited. This results in inadequate use of the extremities in functional activities. Although all children with CP are known to be affected by UE, studies in terms of physiotherapy and rehabilitation methods mostly focused on children with hemiparetic CP. Similar problems are observed in children with bilateral involvement. However, a wide variation is observed in the bimanual performance of children with hemiparetic and bilateral involvement. Studies evaluating UE activities in children with CP; emphasized that the inability to manipulate objects manually is one of the most important reasons for the restriction of participation in ADLs. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs include many neurodevelopmental treatment approaches including stretching, strengthening, positioning, splinting, casting, orthosis selection and movement facilitation. However, it is known that studies investigating the current efficacy of these treatments on UE functions mostly focus on unilateral CP. Interventions that focus on improving UE functions in children with bilateral CP are limited. In UE rehabilitation in bilateral CP; states that target-focused therapy, bimanual intensive task specific training programs and trainings such as HABIT (intensive bimanual training of the upper extremity) involving the lower extremity have been used, but there is only evidence for HABIT-ILE (HABIT involving the lower extremity). In the literature, it is observed that strengthening training with the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method, which makes a significant contribution to muscle strength balance, is mostly used in lower extremity rehabilitation in these children. In this study, in the UE rehabilitation of children with hemiparetic and diparetic CP; in order to stimulate motor responses and improve neuromuscular control and function, the superiority of the PNF approach applied with scapular and UE patterns over the traditional Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NGT-Bobath) method will be determined.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common childhood disorder that occurs with a lesion in the developing infant brain, seen in 2-3/1000 live births. CP is a posture, movement and tone disorder that occurs due to prenatal or postnatal causes. It is not progressive, but since the anatomy of the lesion and the physical development of the individual are not completed, the course of the disorder may vary throughout life. Accompanied by motor dysfunctions, it varies according to clinical types. In addition to this, various visual, sensory and behavioral problems, speech disorders that cause learning difficulties and cognitive problems can also be observed. Ophthalmic disorders are the most common problem in CP and can also affect the developmental process of the patient. Since ophthalmic disorders and neurological deficits are associated in CP, the relationship between neurological disorder and ophthalmic disorders has been investigated in the literature. The aim of this study is to establish the Turkish validity and reliability of the Visual Function Classification System (VFCS) specific to individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
PURPOSE: To assess the effect of backward walking training on back geometry and mobility function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy through a comparative analysis with forward walking training. BACKGROUND: Spinal deformities are important orthopaedic problems among children with cerebral palsy. A detailed evaluation of all these areas when the child first arrives for treatment is essential. The majority of research in children with CP is focused on assessment and treatment of upper and lower extremities. In contrast, literature on trunk control in children with CP is scarce. Although proximal trunk control is a prerequisite for improving balance and weight symmetry, there is a lack of studies that reported the role of forward and backward walking training in treating the trunk for children with CP. Therefore, the purpose of this study will investigate the role of backward walking training in addition to conventional physiotherapy program on back geometry and mobility function in children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. HYPOTHESES: The null hypothesis of this study could be stated as: There will be no statistically significant difference in back geometry and mobility function after adding backward walking training to conventional physical therapy program in spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy children compared with forward walking training. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do adding backward walking training to conventional physical therapy program improves back geometry and functional mobility in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy?
