Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability and efficacy of Go Move, a mobile website developed to assist youth with unilateral cerebral palsy and their caregivers with setting goals and selecting exercises and activities to meet the goals. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is Go Move accepted by youth with unilateral cerebral palsy and their caregivers? - Does Go Move support goal attainment for youth with unilateral cerebral palsy? Participants will set up and participate in a goal-driven home program using the Go Move mobile website. Participants will spend 1 hour and 15 minutes per week for 6 weeks working on their home program and will complete pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments.
To compare effect in both intervention
The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a 10-week plan with a nutritional supplement (leucine) and to perform pilot analyses on the effect of leucine on macroscopic muscle morphology in children with cerebral palsy.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn about the implementation of Therapy Together, a pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy program in young children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is the Therapy Together program effective in improving hand function and occupational performance compared to usual care? - Is it feasible to implement the Therapy Together program within the standard care, early intervention framework? Participants will participate in an 8-week pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy program. Researchers will compare the group completing the Therapy Together Program to a group that is receiving usual care to see if there is a difference in the change in hand function, occupational performance, and development.
The primary objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the safety of ExAblate Transcranial MRgFUS as a tool for creating bilateral or unilateral lesions in the globus pallidus (GPi) in patients with treatment-refractory secondary dystonia due to dyskinetic cerebral palsy
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the SPIO® Core-MAX® Expedition orthosis on an infant's head, trunk and upper limb function.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a non-progressive problem that occurs as a result of damage or lesion in the brain tissue in the prenatal, perinatal or postnatal periods for any reason, causing permanent impairment in the development of posture and movement. In addition to the impairments in the motor area in CP; It can be seen in problems such as perception, cognitive, sensory, communication, social, behavioral, musculoskeletal, epilepsy .Parents who are primary caregivers of the child with CP; They have a very important caregiver role in meeting the processes such as the treatment of the child, daily life needs and rehabilitation.Parental self-efficacy has been defined as the judgments and beliefs held by the parents to cope with the difficulties they experience in raising and caring for children with developmental disabilities and to reach the goal.The long process of caring for the child with cerebral palsy and the dependence of the child on the parent increase the stress of the caregivers. The Calgary Family Intervention Model (CAMM), one of the nursing models, is the first family intervention model in the field of nursing. The model focuses on improving, developing and maintaining the family's functionality in three areas. These three areas are cognitive, emotional and behavioral.
The study will be carried out with volunteer patients who are followed up by the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of Muğla Training and Research Hospital and diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and meet the study criteria. The evaluations will be performed in the Orthopedics and Traumatology outpatient clinic of Muğla Training and Research Hospital. This study was planned to investigate the effectiveness of multicomponent home activities and family child education against conventional postoperative practices in children with CP who underwent lower extremity tendon release surgery. Objective functional status, spasticity levels, pain levels, kinesiophobia levels and gait quality of the patients will be evaluated.
A randomized, controlled, and evaluator-blinded trial will be carried out to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of upper limb somatosensory discrimination therapy compared to an equal dose of motor therapy on sensorimotor outcomes in children and adolescents with spastic unilateral cerebral palsy aged 7 to 15 years old. Additionally, the potential role of clinical and neurological baseline characteristics on treatment response will be explored, including the extent of the brain lesion, age and baseline somatosensory function. The researchers primarily expect that the bimanual performance will improve equally in children and adolescents from both intervention groups, as measured immediately after the intervention has ended. The researchers hypothesize, however, that there will be a better retention effect in children and adolescents that received somatosensory discrimination therapy, resulting in differences between both groups in bimanual performance as measured at 6-months follow-up. The researchers further expect larger improvements in somatosensory function for children and adolescents in the somatosensory discrimination group and this both immediately after the intervention and at 6-month follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of imaginary resisted exercises versus physical resisted exercises on hand grip strength in hemiplegic cerebral palsy
