Filter by:The use of robotic technologies in rehabilitation is an increasingly widespread practice in the health sector: the Lokomat is a medical device intended for walking rehabilitation, consisting of an exoskeleton, a treadmill and a harness that supports the body weight and acts as a safety tool This technology is useful in the rehabilitation of pathologies such as prenatal stroke, brain injury, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis and other motor, orthopedic and neurological problems. During these treatments, the psychological / emotional component of the patient is not properly considered and the success of the treatment remains focused on the motor-rehabilitation level. The management of subjective-experiential aspects remains in the hand of clinical figures (primarily physiotherapists) who have no tools for objective assessment other than their sensitivity. However, considering the experience is fundamental for the success of the therapy: this happens especially in the pediatric field, where clinical results improve significantly when children start therapy with a relaxed and positive mental state. The aim of this project is to investigate the rehabilitation experience of patients who perform gait rehabilitation by menas of the Lokomat system, considering the relationship between physiological parameters and moods. Therefore, the main goal is to monitor the patient's psychophysical condition before, during and after the rehabilitation activity, during the different sessions. This will allow describing, with qualitative and quantitative data, the user experience of the patient who undergoes a therapeutic treatment with the Lokomat.
To determine the effects of reverse walking with and without Whole-body vibration on postural balance in children with cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy is a disease characterized by movement, posture and tone disorders that occur in the immature brain structure that has not yet completed its development anatomically and physically, but can undergo permanent changes. Although the prevalence is 2-3/1000 births, this rate is 4.4/1000 births in our country. As the level of development of the country increases, this rate decreases. Cerebral Palsy is clinically classified according to different criteria and types. While the terms hemiplegia, diplegia, tetraplegia are used according to limb involvement, terms such as spastic, ataxic, dyskinetic, hypotonic are used in classification according to dominant tone disorders. Postural control, which plays a key role in the realization of all our fine and gross motor skills and is necessary for the realization of our daily life activities, is insufficient in children with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder. Insufficient postural control negatively affects mobility, limb movements, static and dynamic trunk control. When the literature is scanned and trunk postural control more of the physical/motor, we investigated the effect of parameters, which are fundamental for the realization of motor body control functions/is not emphasized enough in postural control, within the framework of the ICF activity and participation and the effects on their quality of life has not been sufficiently studied to be a gap in this area, physical/motor control parameters has a significant influence on the body, which is quite activity, participation and quality of life was significantly etkileyecebi it was assumed that their level. In our study, the 6-12 age group was selected because children with Cerebral Palsy at the primary school level have started to become independent from their parents in their daily life activities and have recently adapted to social activities. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of trunk disorder level on activity, participation and quality of life levels of children with Cerebral Palsy at primary school level.
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.
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.
This study will detect the effect of virtual reality in spider cage on gross motor performance and balance in children with spastic diplegia.
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)_
Background/Aims Parents of children with cerebral palsy face higher levels of stress, anxiety and depression, sadness, exhaustion and burnout. Parent-based therapies have been found to increase parents' satisfaction with therapy, parent-child interactions and reduced parental stress. This study examined the effects of parent-based occupational therapy on stress levels, coping skills, and emotional skills and competencies of parents of children with cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 15 children and their parents who were admitted to the paediatric rehabilitation unit for occupational therapy were divided into two groups (control group: n=7, study group: n=8) using the coin toss randomisation method. The control group received standard occupational thearpy, while the study group received parent-based occupational therapy for 45 minutes a session, twice a week, until 10 sessions had been completed. Participants were evaluated before and after the intervention.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder characterized by abnormal tone, posture and movement and clinically classified based on the predominant motor syndrome-spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia, and extra-pyramidal or dyskinetic. Clinical prediction models and neuroimaging have been used to diagnose CP before the age of 2 years, but further research is necessary. Cuevas Medek Exercises (CME) is a pediatric physiotherapy approach for children with developmental motor delay impacting the central nervous system. According to Ramon Cuevas, who developed the therapy, CME are mainly based on the principle of provoking novel automatic motor reactions using exercises against gravity with progressive distal holding. This study will find the effects of Cuevas Medak Exercises on Balance and Postural control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. This Randomized Controlled Trial will recruit the participants through random sampling. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups. Two groups of children aged between 2 and 5 years, suffering from cerebral palsy in spastic form, one for control and one for experiment. Controlled will get conventional treatment while study group will get conventional treatment with Cuevas Medak Exercises. Treatment duration is of 12 weeks. Progress will monitored every month. The frequency of recovery sessions will 3 sessions/week, and the duration of a session will 45 minutes. Patient evaluation will be made at the beginning and the end of the treatment through pediatric balance scale and static balance test. Data will be analyzed through SPSS 25.
