Children with spastic diplegia are at an increased risk of spinal deformities. The most common types of these spinal deformities are scoliosis and kyphosis. Thoracic hyper-kyphosis may adversely affect balance in children with cerebral palsy . The treatment approaches for hyper-kyphosis involved both conservative and surgical treatments. The Conservative approach includes corrective exercises, positioning, and spinal braces. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of conservative orthotic management for kyphotic posture on balance control, and fall risk in cerebral palsied children of spastic diplegia.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vibration and kinesiology tape applications applied to the affected side forearm extensor muscles on dexterity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
More than 50 % of children and adults with cerebral palsy experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This can negatively influence quality of life of the child and the total social environment. Previous research demonstrated that the brain lesion, characteristic for cerebral palsy (CP), is a prognostic factor for the functional abilities of a child with CP. Previous research within our department demonstrated functional impairment as a risk factor for incontinence. This demonstrates an indirect connection between the brain lesion and incontinence of a child with CP. However, this connection isn't alway correct as some children with high functionality also demonstrate incontinence. As bladder control is also regulated by higher brain centers, the present study wants to investigate a direct connection between the brain lesion of the child, visible by means of MRI, and the incontinence status of the child. .
The purposes of the current study are to: Define and compare between the efficacy of arm ergometer versus stabilization exercises on trunk control, hand grip power and upper limb quality of functions in children with diplegia.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between screen usage time and problematic social media use in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) with motor function, hand function, speech and vision function.
To compare the effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) versus TheraTogs on Gait and Balance in children with hemiplegic CP.
A Retrospective study In Children who have switched to Isosource Junior Mix formula (RICIMIX study) will review paediatric children > 12 months of age who require Isosource Junior Mix as an enteral tube feeding formula and have consumed the formula for at least 1 month. The purpose of this study is to understand If there has been an improvement in outcomes/ experiences - The current usage of ISJMIX formula in children who require blended diets - Improved feeding intolerances - Improved patient outcomes/ experiences
Until now, the use of invasive urodynamics with use of catheters is still the gold standard for lower urinary tract evaluation in subjects with CP. This suggests a psychological and physical impact of invasive urodynamics in subjects with CP and further demonstrates the need to avoid standard use of invasive urodynamics in children and adults with CP. The current study will evaluate usefulness of uroflowmetry, correlation between uroflowmetry parameters and different lower urinary tract symptoms will be investigated. Secondly, results of uroflowmetry indicating possible vulnerability of the upper urinary tract will be defined.
Cerebral palsy(CP) is the most common cause of disability in childhood. The motor spectrum of disorders is characterized by abnormal muscle tone, posture, and movement. The motor disorders of CP are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition and behavior. Besides classical appearance of symptomatology, tactile impairment takes an important place to be evaluated. Assessment of the integrity of tactile function composes of two main steps: tactile registration and tactile perception. Our main goal is the define the effect of tactile impairment on hand motor function with the usage of identical assessment tools in patients with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) and typically developed children (TDC).
