Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Compliance of Parents of Children with Cerebral Palsy to Home Program Assesment Questionnaire (CPHP-Q), a caregiver-report for adherence and frequency of home program implementation of parents of children with Cerebral Palsy.
The aim of the study is to investigate effects of structured exergame program on upper extremity functions and trunk control in children with Cerebral Palsy (SP). A 3 phase randomized controlled trial has planned to conduct. In the first phase, baseline assessments will be completed for all participants who are eligible to participate. After the baseline assessments, randomisation will be completed for Exergame and Activity Based Exercise groups. During this phase suitable video games for exergame program will be selected. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) will be used to collect expert opinion for most effective video games for upper extremity functionality, postural control, GMFCS I-II-III levels. Second phase of the study will be started afterwards. Upon completing second assessments, interventions for both groups will be conducted. Third assessments will be completed after interventions and outcomes will be analyzed for primary results. The third phase of the study planned as follow-up period. All participant will continue their routine NDT trainings and follow-up assessments will be completed after 3 moths of the second assessments. Final results will be analysed for all participants.
This study will help to determine the beneficial effects of high frequency vibration on children with diplegic cerebral palsy in improving balance ,spasticity, strength of lower limb and quality of life and a comparison between the effect of simple conventional treatment and conventional management with the usage of vibrational therapy in cp patients.
Background :Spasticity is a motor disorder in children with cerebral palsy (CP) Cp is a non progress lesion in unmature brain lead to a group of chronic disorders that affect movement and posture development, may be accompanied by epilepsy, secondary musculoskeletal problems, deformaties and disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behavior Few studies demonstrate effectiveness of laser therapies in spasticity in cp. Methodology : This study is randomize control trail aimes to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the spasticity of hamstring and calf muscle in children with CP over 12 session of intermittent laser exposures. Muscle tone , gross motor function, rang of motion (rom ) and poplital angle will evaluate before and after laser irradiation in 30 children with CP both geneder aged between two to six years old diaplegic clidren , exclusion children who take botox or done surgery . Muscles will irradiated with low-intensity diode laser pulses of 808-nm wavelength three times per week over one month follow up for one month.
the objective of this study to asses the effect of touch screen tablet on fine motor functions
A total of 26 patients who were diagnosed with CP [diplegic, with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of 2-5] and who regularly participated in a rehabilitation programme were included in the study after obtaining approval from their parents. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (n = 13) received conventional therapy (65 min, 2 days/week ×8) and group 2 (n = 13) received 25 minutes of robot-assisted gait training (RoboGait®) in addition to conventional therapy (40 min, 2 days/week ×8).
There are studies investigating the dual-task effect in sitting, standing up without sitting and walking in children with spastic CP. Some of these studies investigated motor-motor, some of them motor-cognitive dual-task states, and children with CP were compared to typically developing children. In all these studies, it is clearly seen that children with CP have more dual-task complexities than their typically developing peers. Some of these studies draw attention to dual-task education in children with CP. However, other than a randomized controlled study and a case report in the literature, we did not find any studies investigating the effectiveness of dual-task training in children with CP. When the literature is examined in detail, there is no study that examines the effect of dual-task exercise programs on walking activities and children's participation in daily life in children with CP. This study has been planned based on this deficiency in the literature. Based on ICF, This study has been planned dual-task training for children with CP.
Virtual reality (VR), is one of the most popular approaches to Cerebral Palsy (CP) rehabilitation and has been used in rehabilitation field for 30 years. VR is provided via a computer or a game console, and players interact with real-like objects . Using a VR interface as a rehabilitation tool increases the fun received by the client which, in turn, increases the participation of the client to the rehabilitation sessions. This is a study that focused on long-term effects of Virtual reality (VR) intervention on motor skills and activities of daily living (ADL) independence of children with CP.
Children with cerebral palsy often suffer from a lack of balance compared with typically developing children. Because balance capacity is relevant to functional activities, reliable and valid functional balance measures are crucial for the pediatric clinical setting in local native languages, so the aim of this study is to translate the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) into Urdu and to find the reliability and validity of the translated version Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) in cerebral palsy.
Statement of the problem: Does task-oriented circuit training have an effect on kinematic parameters of gait, pelvic symmetry and trunk endurance in children with hemiplegic CP? Purpose of the study: This study aims to: - Investigate the effect of exercise-based task-oriented circuit training on gait kinematics including (Stride length, step length, cadence, walking speed, ankle dorsiflexion angle in initial contact, knee extension angle in midstance and hip extension angle in terminal stance) in children with hemiplegic CP. - Determine the effect of task-oriented circuit training on pelvic symmetry including (Anterior and lateral pelvic tilting) in children with hemiplegic CP. - Examine the effect of task-oriented circuit training on trunk endurance including (prone plank test, timed partial curl up test, front abdominal power test and unilateral supine bridge test) in children with hemiplegic CP.
