Filter by:Dystonia is the most common movement disorder in the pediatric population after spasticity. It can affect normal motor development and cause significant motor retardation. The presence of dystonia may affect motor function, pain, and ease of care in CP. Additionally, it can cause serious difficulties in daily living activities and social participation and long-term joint deformity. The increase in the severity of dystonia in CP children with secondary dystonia may affect the quality of life, activity and participation of the children, as well as the caregiver. The importance of caregivers is an undeniable fact, especially in these patient groups. This study aims to investigate the burden of dystonia severity on the participation in daily living activities and caregivers of children with CP with secondary dystonia.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of stellate ganglion block in children with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can stellate ganglion block improve the dysphagia of children with cerebral palsy? Participants were randomly divided into two groups, all provided with routine therapy. Based on this, the experimental group was given stellate ganglion block. The video fluoroscopic swallowing study was done to test the swallowing function before and after the study.
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.
Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by brain injury that appears in infancy, children have mostly issues of gross motor functions, and activities of daily living. Virtual Reality is an innovative technique for the improvement of balance and motor function in most of the neurological conditions. Motor Imagery is an ability to engage in the mental representation of a task consciously without generating a voluntary movement. The aim of this study is to determine the comparative effects of Virtual Reality and Motor Imagery on balance, gross motor function and activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy.
The study aims at comparing Neuromuscular electrical Stimulation with and without dynamic bracing on spasticity and movement quality of lower limb in Children with Cerebral Palsy
The aim of our study is to examine the acute effect of Mollii Suit application on balance and muscle tone problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effects of lycra clothing on balance and respiratory functions in individuals with cerebral palsy with scoliosis, and the secondary aim was to investigate the effects of lycra clothing on motor function, activity limitation and quality of life in these individuals.
The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of dual task conditions on manual dexterity performance in young people and children with CP between the ages of 7-18 and to compare it with their peers. Evaluations to be made in the study (children with CP) and control (typically developing peers) groups: - Demographic information, Gross Motor Function Level (GMFCS), Manual Skills Classification System (MACS) and dominant extremity will be noted and the evaluation will begin by applying the Abilhand Kids questionnaire. - Firstly, the child's performance on a single cognitive task will be evaluated in a supported sitting position on a chair. The cognitive task will be the n-back task (counting down task) to be applied in accordance with the level of the child or young person. - Using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), participants will be asked to score the difficulty of the cognitive task as a number between 0 and 10. - In order to evaluate the single motor performance of manual skills, the 9-Hole Test will be applied and the times will be recorded by asking to write a given paragraph. - Dual task evaluations will be administered by giving a simultaneous cognitive task while administering the 9-Hole Test and writing a paragraph. - In order to reveal the dual-task cost (DTC), dual-task performance will be subtracted from single-task performance and the difference will be calculated in seconds. - The Body Control Measurement Scale will be applied for body evaluation purposes. As a result of this study, the changes in manual dexterity and cognitive performance in dual-task conditions in children and adolescents with CP will be revealed. Additionally, changes in this performance in dual-task situations will be compared with a control group of typically developing children.
The aim is to investigate the inter-rater reliability of passive range of motion (pROM) measurement with goniometer of knee extension and ankle dorsiflexion for children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP) and secondary to explore to what extent spasticity influences the reliability.
Hemiplegia in infants and children is a type of Cerebral Palsy that results from damage to the part (hemisphere) of the brain that controls muscle movements. This damage may occur before, during or shortly after birth. The term hemiplegia means that the paralysis is on one vertical half of the body. The aim of this study will be the to know the effect of mCIMT with and without mirror therapy on upper limb function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Sheikh Zayed Hospital, RYK through convenience sampling technique on 30 patients which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into group A and group B. Group A will be treated with mCIMT and Group B will be treated with mCIMT and mirror therapy. Outcome measure will be conducted through pain and disability questionnaire after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro - wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups. mCIMT with and without mirror therapy will be applied in patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy to see the effect on upper limb function.
