Filter by:The aim of this study is to find Effects of constraints induced movement therapy (CIMT) versus mirror therapy (MT) on hand dexterity and grip strength in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing infant brain or fetal characterized by abnormalities of muscle tone, movement and motor skills. PNF technique is thought to have an impact on voluntary motor control and balance through stimulation of proprioceptors, so the aim of this study is to determine the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on selective motor control and balance on children with cerebral palsy.
The aim of this study is to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish Gait Outcomes Assessment List (GOAL) Questionnaire, in children with cerebral palsy (CP) with GMFCS level1, 2, and 3.
Some positive effects of whole body vibration applications in reducing spasticity, improving walking ability, and increasing walking speed have been reported in children with CP, but the evidence is not strong enough. Therefore, this study was planned to evaluate the effect of whole body vibration treatment on spasticity, gait, balance, and motor performance in children with spastic CP. This study hypothesis that whole body vibration provides an additive improvement on spasticity, balance, gait and motor performance.
The Sitting Assessment Scale is a valid and reliable scale that evaluates sitting balance in Cerebral Palsy (CP). The validity and reliability study of the scale has been done, but it has not been adapted to Turkish language. The aim of this study is to adapt the Sitting Evaluation Scale, which evaluates sitting balance in Cerebral Palsy, into Turkish and to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale.
Purpose: to investigate the effect of sensory integration therapy on balance and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Methods: children with spastic cerebral palsy, the children were assigned to a control group and a study group. Balance was assessed using the Biodex balance system and functional mobility was assessed using the Timed Up and Go test.
Muscle strength can be defined as the ability of skeletal muscle to develop force for the purpose of providing stability and mobility within the musculoskeletal system, so that functional movement can take place.
Children with CP may have muscle weakness, changes in mobility, posture, muscle tone, motor coordination and deficits in postural control. These changes, individually or collectively, affect psychomotor function. As a result, activities that are performed quickly and readily by healthy children may be difficult and time-consuming for children with CP.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of mechanical vibration on spasticity and balance in children with cerebral palsy. The participants of the clinical study are 13 children with CP and age 4-17 years, with a diagnosis of spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. More specifically, the participants were randomly divided into a control group and an intervention group, with the first group continuing conventional physical therapy, while the experimental group outside the physical therapy program did also receive mechanical vibration using a hybervibe G10 vibration platform (lasting 15 minutes). The intervention lasted 8 weeks and participants were assessed before the start of the intervention (T1), 1 month after the first assessment (T2) and rechecked 1 month (T3) after the completion of the program using valid and reliable tools.
Effects of Home Versus Hospital Based Action Observation Therapy on Balance, Mobility and Cognition in Diaplegic Cerebral Palsy. It will be a RCT we want to identify the effects of action observation therapy on patients coming to the hospital as compared to the patients at home. We will also identify the retaining effects of AOT. Our sample size will be 40 diplegic patients having no cognitive issues and able to walk with assistive device. We will exclude the patient who will suffer with severe comorbidities and visual impairment. We will randomly assign the patients into two groups A and B.A will receive Action observation therapy three times a day along with stretching exercises .while group B we perform AOT and stretching exercises at home with same frequency.
