Filter by:The goal of this study was to find prevalence and correlations of different weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy. This cross- sectional study hypothesize the prevalence of weight abnormalities and risk of abdominal obesity in addition to positive correlations between weight abnormalities and number of exercise hours and frequency of meals in a random sample of Egyptian children suffering from cerebral palsy RESEARCH QUESTION: 1. What is the prevalence of weight abnormalities and and risk of abdominal obesity in Egyptian children with cerebral palsy? 2. Does the weight abnormalities correlates with number of exercise hours or frequency of meals in children with cerebral palsy?
Effect of systematic dexamethasone on the duration of popliteal nerve block after pediatric ankle/foot surgery
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.

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.
This is a tool translation an validation study. CPCHILD will be translated in Urdu language and it's translated version will be validated. Translated version's reliability and validity will also be assessed. The WHO guidelines for tool translation study will be followed.
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to compare able-bodied peers to adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) who have been regularly performing high-intensity functional training for almost two years. The main research question is: is structured, long-term exercise training able to compensate strength and cardiovascular deficits in adolescents with CP compared to able-bodied peers?
Newborns who are born premature or suffer brain injury at birth are at risk for motor problems that may cause weakness in reaching and grasping on one side of the body. In older children, therapists may use a hand mitt and restraint for the stronger arm, to encourage use of the weaker side, called constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT). Even with the high intensity therapy of CIMT, it typically takes between 40-120 hours total treatment time for most children to improve their motor skills. A non-invasive form of nerve stimulation, transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS), stimulates a nerve by the ear that enhances learning motor skills. taVNS stimulation will be triggered by EMG sensors which detect muscle activity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of taVNS to improve motor skills when paired with CIMT in infants with one-sided weakness at 6-18 months of age.
The video-based therapy applications; will be applied in a non-three-dimensional (with desktop screen) way. In this application, there are different types of exercise programs that will work the upper extremity movements. The video-based therapy applications will be applied to individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who will be included in the study with the Xbox Kinect 3600 (Microsoft, Washington, USA) device. This study was planned to examine the effect of video-based therapy on upper extremity selective motor control and proprioception in individuals with Cerebral Palsy.
