Filter by:The study compares two interventions in CP children: mirror therapy with sensory motor training versus mirror therapy with motor training. Mirror therapy works by manipulating the brain out of pain, ultimately improving movement in patients with one-sided paralysis. It can be used in combination with other therapies to assist patients with cerebral palsy in retraining the brains, restoring function, and enhancing the overall quality of life. The purpose of this study is to use a combination of Mirror therapy with sensory motor training and motor training and observe which one of these combinations has the most desirable effects in improving movement and quality of life in CP Children
The study objective is to improve accuracy in the early detection of neurodevelopmental impairment, especially CP, by evaluating the timepoint (in weeks post term age) that the Prechtl GMA is most useful for prediction of neurodevelopmental impairment at two years of age in children with and without medical complexity. The study team plans to recruit 100 healthy, term-born infants and 250 infants at risk of developing CP for a total of 350 enrolled infants.
The study aims to investigate the effect of dynamic movement intervention approach on static and dynamic balance, quality of step length and cadence of walking pattern of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.
This was a randomized controlled study including 80 infants with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. The Participants were evenly divided into the observation group (with intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding, n=40) and the control group (with persistent nasogastric tube feeding , n=40). Nutritional status and physical development, condition of dysphagia, and pneumonia before and after 3-month treatment were compared.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of home-based Action Observation Training (AOT) applied together with Functional Chewing Training (FuCT) on chewing and swallowing functions and feeding behavior in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who have chewing disorders. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the application of Home-Based AOT together with FuCT effective on chewing function in children with CP? - Is the application of Home-Based AOT together with FuCT effective on swallowing function in children with CP? - Is the application of Home-Based AOT together with FuCT effective on feeding behavior in children with CP? Within the scope of the study, children with CP will be divided into two groups as the study group and the control group. All groups will implement FuCT routines, comprising 5 sets per day, 5 days a week, for 12 weeks. Additionally, the study group will be included in an AOT program, conducted via telerehabilitation, for 1 set per day, 3 days a week, for 12 weeks, with the guidance of a physiotherapist. All children with CP will be evaluated at the beginning, after 6 weeks, and at the end of the study.
Spasticity is a frequent and debilitating symptom in patients with cerebral palsy. It can alter the patients' balance, mobility, as well as their quality of life (QoL). The available therapeutic strategies for treating spasticity and related symptoms are usually faced with limited efficacy and numerous side effects. For these reasons, non-invasive stimulation techniques, namely transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation using EXOPULSE Mollii suit, might be of help in this context.
This study seeks to determine how an adjustable stiffness ankle braces affects walking performance and biomechanics in cerebral palsy.
The aim of our study is to examine the effectiveness of the Mollii Suit application on gross motor function, spasticity, postural control, upper extremity skills, selective motor control, daily living activities, quality of life, pain, sleep, constipation and drooling problems in non-ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy (CP).
This study is a prospective interventional study. It will be conducted at a single center with participants who have neuromotor impairments. The primary objective is to assess and measure the clinical and psychosocial effects of a season of power wheelchair soccer among its participants presenting with severe motor impairments due to neuromuscular lesion. A maximum of twenty participants will be recruited and included in the same group. Data collection will be performed before, during, and after the wheelchair soccer season. The study will span the entire season, starting in November 2023 and ending in June 2024. Clinical and psychosocial assessments will be conducted every 3 months. Each assessment session will last 2 hours per participant. Before and after the wheelchair soccer season matches, we will evaluate parameters related to the physical load of the sport. These evaluations will last 10 minutes per participant.
Purpose of the study; The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a compassion-based education program applied to mothers of children with cerebral palsy on compassion fatigue, depression, and psychological resilience.
