Filter by:The goal of this Clinical Trial is to verify the effectiveness of the use of the Intorus device in the motor intervention in patients with cerebral palsy and related syndromes. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of the Intorus tool manage to improve the mobility of upper limbs (MMSS) in patients with infantile cerebral palsy to increase their performance in activities of daily living? A total of approximately 50 users will participate in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups randomly. The control group will receive an intervention treatment at the motor level in the traditional way, following the protocols established in the center, and the intervention group will receive an intervention treatment at the motor level with the INTORUS device. Randomization will be carried out using the Oxford Minimization and Randomization software.
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, fidelity and acceptability of an aquatic therapy assessment and intervention for children ages 3-9 with neuromotor deficits such as cerebral palsy. The intervention takes place in a warm water therapy pool, twice a week for ten weeks and targets swim safety skills, upper extremity function and self care participation and performance.
This study aims to determine the effects of focal muscle vibration on bio-psychosocial outcomes in subjects with cerebral palsy. Mixed methods will be used and the study will be conducted in 2 phases; 1st phase is determining the effects of intervention, whereas second step is prediction of outcomes. A qualitative gait analysis will also be done.
The study aims to determine the effects of dynamic flex cast with neurodevelopmental treatment on gross motor functions and gait in children with cerebral palsy.
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between lower extremity selectivity and gait in children with cerebral palsy. 32 volunteer children with CP between the ages of 5-20 will participate in the study. The Selective Control Assessment of the Lower Extremity (SCALE) questionnaire will be used to assess lower extremity selectivity, and the Edinburgh observational gait scale will be used to assess gait. Both assessments are observational.
The purpose of this post market study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of a powered extension assist (EA) knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO), or EA-KAFO, in individuals with knee extension deficiency due to cerebral palsy (CP). The EA-KAFO tested in this investigation, whose commercial name is Agilik™, is registered as a Class 1 medical device in the European (EU) Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and with the United States (US) Food and Drugs Administration (FDA). The study will take place in Astrolab at the Istituto Scientifico E. MEDEA - La Nostra Famiglia (IRCCS Medea hereafter). The duration of the investigation will be 36 months. The duration of the study for a single subject will be approximately 10 weeks. The primary purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of a powered extension assist knee ankle foot orthosis (Agilik) in individuals with knee extension deficiency due to cerebral palsy. The focus is on the improvement of anti-gravity knee extension during stance in patients with CP with crouch gait. Therefore, the primary aim is to compare the knee and range of motion (ROM) at baseline and after 10 sessions of Agilik training while wearing Agilik itself. Secondary aim is to compare knee ROM before and after the training with Agilik without wearing Agilik. The changes in lower extremity functions, kinematics and muscle activity during walking with Agilik compared to baseline conditions will be examined. Furthermore, the performance of Agilik during uphill and downhill walking over the GRAIL platform will be investigated. Hypotheses when using Agilik: - Improve knee extension during stance and swing gait phases - Increase step length, walking distance and speed
Intensive interventions based on the principles of motor skill learning, like Hand-Arm Bimanual Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE), have demonstrated excellent effectiveness in improving motor function and daily life independence of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Patients living far from big cities do not have easy access to such interventions, usually applied in the form of camps. This randomized controlled trial will include 48 children with bilateral CP and aims to test a home version of HABIT-ILE with the use of a specifically designed virtual device and a remote supervision. For this purpose, two types of two weeks intensive treatment programs will be compared: Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities at home ("HABIT-ILE at home") and "classic HABIT-ILE". Moreover, this study also aims to assess whether the patient's abilities are better with a follow-up at home after two weeks of HABIT-ILE therapy than without follow-up post therapy. Four groups will be compared: HABIT-ILE at home therapy with a follow-up at home, HABIT-ILE at home therapy without follow-up, classic HABIT-ILE therapy with a follow-up at home and classic HABIT-ILE therapy without follow-up. Children will be assessed at 3 time points: before therapy, after therapy and 3 months after the start of therapy.
This study will detect the effect of virtual reality in spider cage on gross motor performance and balance in children with spastic diplegia.
Changes related to Cerebral Palsy (CP) include differences in muscle architecture and cortical activity. These result in weakness, decreased functional ability and limited participation in physical activity. Strength training programs, particularly those including power training components, show great potential in improving the gross motor function of youth with CP. However, this intervention is not currently offered in the Calgary area. Delivered via an innovative partnership with community stakeholders, this project will investigate the preliminary effectiveness of the program to enable youth with CP to achieve child and family centered goals. It will also investigate the feasibility of offering this type of program via a community-hospital partnership. Research Question & Objectives: 1. Can youth with cerebral palsy achieve their goals and improve their motor function through RIPT (Resistance Intensive Personal Training), a power training program offered jointly by specialized physiotherapists and fitness professionals in community settings? 2. What are the barriers and facilitators to delivery of RIPT in a community setting for youth, caregivers, clinicians, and program staff?
Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the structured supportive approach given to the parents of children with cerebral palsy according to Kolcaba Comfort Theory on the child's comfort, quality of life and parent's self-efficacy._ H01: According to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, there is no difference between the comfort scores of the children of parents (study group) to whom the structured supportive approach was applied and the children of the parents who did not apply this approach (control group). H02: According to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, there is no difference between the quality of life scores of the children of parents (study group) to whom the structured supportive approach was applied and the children of parents who did not apply this approach (control group). H03: According to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, there is no difference between the self-efficacy scores of the parents (study group) who applied the structured supportive approach and the parents who did not apply this approach (control group)_
