Effect of systematic dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block after pediatric ankle/foot surgery
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is is estimated to be around 1.5-3 per live birth, with prenatal factors accounting for 75% of cases. CP appears in early childhood and persists with age and is characterized by permanent lesions or abnormalities affecting the immature brain. It mainly occurs as a motor system disorder (e.g., abnormal movements or posture) with the presence of hemiplegia, diplegia or tetraplegia, and spastic, dyskinetic or atactic syndromes. .This study will explore the potential clinical benefits of the Molliimethod in children with cerebral palsy. Spasticity impacts balance and mobility, halts the patients quality of life and their ability to perform their activity of daily living, and could also increase the risk of fractures and falls. Available interventions that aim on improving spasticity are facing limitations such as varios side effects. Therefore, developing novel therapies such as the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit could help to overcome such limitations and noninvasively improve balance, mobility, quality of life and reduce spasticity and pain in children with CP.
Background. Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is important to enable appropriate intervention at a time when neuroplasticity is at its highest. Early intervention with focus on family-centered, home-based, parent-involved, and supervised by specialist therapists show positive cognitive and motor outcomes. This study adhere to international guidelines for early diagnosis and intervention, and include community therapists to ensure regular follow-up during and after the intervention period. The aim of the current study is to compare the effectiveness of an early intervention program added to standard care, relative to standard care alone, on the early motor development in children from both a newborn and infant detectable risk pathway in a Danish multi-site setting. Methods. In a randomized, controlled trial the response to the GO-PLAY (Goal Oriented ParentaL supported home ActivitY) intervention program added to standard care is superior to standard care alone is evaluated. The investigators will include infants from the Cerebral Palsy - Early Diagnosis and Intervention Trial (CP-EDIT registered separately at ClinicalTrials) and collect data at baseline, after intervention and at follow up when the children are 2 years corrected age. The hypotheses are that the GO-PLAY intervention is more effective than standard care when the children are re-evaluated at the end of 6 months of intervention and that the parents involved in the GO-PLAY intervention will exhibit less signs of stress and anxiety and perceive the services that they are receiving as family-centered to a greater extent than parents of children receiving standard care. Discussion. Approximately half of all infants with high risk of CP display high risk indicators identifiable by early screening before 5 months of age described as the newborn detectable risk pathway. The other half of all infants with CP are detected by parents, caregivers or health care professionals when displaying delayed motor milestones (e.g. hand asymmetry or not sitting at 9 months) and described as infant detectable risk pathway. There is a need to investigate if early intervention is effective in all infants with high suspicion of CP, also the ones with unremarkable neonatal history. Further, a systematic early intervention has not been tested in infants at high risk of CP in Denmark, where public health services include physiotherapy free of charge for infants with CP.
The use of robotic rehabilitation, a treatment method for improving the motor functions of the upper extremities, is gradually increasing in children with cerebral palsy. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of robot-assisted rehabilitation for the upper extremity on upper extremity functions, manual skills and quality of life in patients with unilateral or bilateral/triplegic spastic cerebral palsy and also to compare the effect of robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation compared to traditional rehabilitation methods.
the aim of this study to assess different outcome measures after applying standard physical therapy plus radial shockwave and compare the results with another group who received standard treatment only. Design: double-blinded (assessor and data analyzer) Methods: This study will be conducted in 4 rehabilitation facilities, Times for 1 month of intervention Assessment timeline: 3 times (T0: at baseline, T1: at 4 weeks, T2: follow up at 3 months. Outcome measures: the Modified Ashworth scale (MAS), Ankle ROM, Plantar surface area, Gross motor function, and quality of life
The randomized control trail was to determine the effects of additional functional Strength Training on mobility in Children with Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy.

The VRapeutic (Full-immersive game-based therapy) is new therapeutic Egyptian software. It has the potential to provide intensive, repetitive, and task-oriented training. It may increase children's motivation, enjoyment, active social participation. Children with UCP may experience varieties of associated health conditions as difficulty of movement, instability of postural balance, difficulty of motor planning and control which impact on UE function.
Participation in daily activities provides many opportunities for children to improve cognitive, physical and communication abilities. Children's participation in recreational and community activities and performance of self-care activities are considered key processes and outcomes for pediatric rehabilitation. Cerebral palsy (CP), which is one of the most common causes of disability in childhood, is more common in our country than in developed countries. Standardized functional assessment scales should be used to objectively measure participation in daily life activities in children with disability such as cerebral palsy. The aim of this study is to cross-culturally adapt the the Child Engagement in Daily Life Measure V2 (CEDL) to Turkish language and culture and to examine the structural validity and reliability of the Child Engagement in Daily Life Measure V2 (CEDL) in Turkish children with cerebral palsy.
