Filter by:This study is a single arm, single center trial to study the safety and efficacy of purified autologous bone marrow derived stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of children with cerebral palsy.
Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the short- and midterm evolution of self-care and functional mobility after multilevel surgery in children and adolescents with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy and to identify which factors could have an impact on these outcomes. Methods: Thirty-four participants were included. All participants will be evaluated before surgery, at 9 weeks, 6,12,18, 24, 36 and 60 months. Self-care was assessed with the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-NL (PEDI-NL). The Mobility Questionnaire47 (MobQues47) and Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) were used to measure functional mobility. Interactions between CP, personal and environmental characteristics and evolution in time were assessed.
In hemiplegia quantitatively measurement of the asymmetry in the use of upper limbs could overcome the limitation of many outcome measures in which scores are dependent on the experience and training of the therapist. The main aim of this study was to determine the validity of Actigraph GXT3+ to measure asymmetry in the use of the two upper limbs during the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) in children, adolescents and young with hemiplegia aged 5-19 years, compared to age-matched typically developing subjects (TD).
Immediate and maintaining Efficacy of new protocols in the treatment of upper limb dysfunctions in patients with cerebral palsy.
The purpose of this study is to develop healing riding algorithm applicable in rural riding centers and to apply this to children with cerebral palsy.
The purpose of this study is to improve arm function in adults with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will receive transcranial direct current stimulation (or sham) in combination with upper extremity robotic therapy.
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of TheraTogs orthotic undergarment and strapping system on increasing axial stability that will reflect on improving balance and walking performance in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy.
The hippotherapy is considered a therapeutic modality that provides numerous benefits in the rehabilitation process and has often been recommended by doctors for children with cerebral palsy. Despite being in frank ascent, this therapy still lacks scientific evidence. Objectives: To analyze and compare the effects of hippotherapy program, often 1 or 2 days a week in gross motor function, trunk balance and functional performance of children with cerebral palsy.
The proposed pilot study seeks to explore the effectiveness of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to improve upper limb function in children and youth (aged 6 to 18 years) with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, as measured by the QUEST grasp score and other secondary outcome measures obtained pre- and post-intervention in a case series study design.
The aim of the study is to evaluate a short term influence of the Spinal Manipulation (SM) on the wrist muscles spasticity and manual dexterity in children with spastic Cerebral Palsy. Effect of SM and imitation of the SM has to be compared in the double-blinded randomized clinical trial.
