View clinical trials related to Cerebral Palsy.
Filter by:Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in children, is a non-progressive neurological impairment resulting from an injury in the developing brain and causing various problems related to sensory, perception, cognition, and movement. This problems leads activity and participation levels of the children with CP. In the literature various assessment tools developed for assessing participation. Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H) questionnaire is one of the assessment tools that examines activities of daily life and participation in detail. The scale is originally in French but English and German versions are also available. The aim of this study is to translate the scale to Turkish and to determine validity and reliability of Turkish version of Life Habits questionnaire.
This study examined the effect of Functional Chewing Training(FuCT) on tongue thrust and drooling in children with cerebral palsy.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) defined as a group of permanent impairments that is originating from non-progressive disorders that develop in the immature brain. CP leads activity limitations of movement and posture development. Motor problems in CP are usually accompanied by sensory and perceptual disorders, cognitive disorders, communication and behavioral disorders, epilepsy, and secondary musculoskeletal system problems. The first 20 years of life is characterized by rapid growth and specific changes in physical, social, and psychological development. Social participation and independence of children and youth are related to the changes in this period. Participation can be identified as being involved in life situations and it reflects the social aspect of functionality. The problems which can be come across in life situations are identified as participation limitation. In literature, no adequate study has investigated the functional inadequacy, activity and participation of children with CP; this project has been planned in order to specify the importance in rehabilitation interventions more detailed. This project aims to specify whether the functional levels correspond to the activity and participation limitations of children with CP living in Ankara city center and determine the effects of their functional status on activity, participation and quality of life. This investigation will be pioneer in indicating the activity and participation limitations of children with CP. According to the results, these limitations will be overcome and the quality of life of children with CP will be increased. The CP follow-up database in Ankara will be specified so their physical activity and participation levels will be followed periodically and CP profile will be determined in Ankara.
To evaluate the effects and feasibility of lycra based compression garment called Stabilizing Pressure Input Orthosis (SPIO) vest on posture and balance during sitting and gross manuel dexterity, parent satisfaction with the garment and to to compare 2 hours vs 6 hours of daily wear time.
The aim of this study is to assess risky infants (or diagnosed infants) with Infant Motor Profile, and analyze interrater and intrarater reliability of this test.
This study aims to determine size of corpus callosum on midsagittal MR scan in patients with a pineal cyst and to compare it with the control group without a pineal cyst.
Selektive dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) has been used as treatment option in children suffering from cerebral palsy (CP) for several decades and multiple studies demonstrated its benefits. Nevertheless, there are still no proven strategies for patient selection, optimal point of time for the operation or pre- and postoperative therapies. The evaluation of the impact of selective motor control, cognition and cerebral imaging findings on the motor outcome and life quality in children with CP who underwent SDR at the Charité University clinics will clarify these critical points in daily care for patients with CP.
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have postural control problems due to the lack of motor and sensory development. Trunk control which has an important role in ensuring postural control, is the basis for sitting, mobility, development of the upper extremity, pulmonary function and activities of daily living. Poor postural control restricts upper extremity functions which also affects the quality of movements. For this reason, it is important to assess the relationship between trunk control and upper extremity functions. This study is planned to investigate the effect of balance and trunk control on upper extremity functions in children with CP.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing 3 months of intensive leg exercise to standard physiotherapy care for the improvement of motor function in the legs in young children with spastic diplegia.
The methodology is a feasibility study to determine the feasibility of assessing people in the community with a neurological condition before proceeding towards a full powered community trial evaluating the influence of intrathecal baclofen.
