Filter by:This project aims to investigate the effectiveness of an intensive, group-based Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) program for young children ages 2-6 years with unilateral hemiparesis, or weakness on one side of the body. This project involves two studies. Study 1 investigates the effect of one dosage of a 1-month, intensive group based CIMT summer program. Study 2 investigates the effect of a repeated, consecutive episode of the intensive, group based CIMT program for children who attended the program the following summer.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of virtual reality applications on the level of independence and upper extremity functionality perceived by children in daily life in children with hemipegic cerebral palsy. The research is a randomized controlled, cross-over study. The sample group of the research is children diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy and families who are receiving inpatient treatment in the pediatric service of Ankara City Hospital Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Hospital. Two groups, intervention (A) and control (B), will be created from the target research group using the randomization method. The upper extremity functionality of both research groups before the intervention will be evaluated with the 'Motor Activity Diary for Children' scale and the perceived independence level with the 'Children's Hand Use Experience' scale. After the initial evaluation is completed, group A, represented as the intervention group, will receive ArmeoSenso virtual reality intervention in the upper extremity hand function laboratory for 3 weeks, 5 days a week, each session for 30 minutes, in addition to traditional occupational therapy and physiotherapy rehabilitation programs. Meanwhile, group B, represented as the control group, will continue the traditional occupational therapy and physiotherapy rehabilitation program. At the end of the third week of the intervention, tests measuring upper extremity functionality and perceived independence level will be repeated. Measurement tools will be repeated at the beginning of the intervention, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the intervention.
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.
Cerebral palsy occurs in 2-2.5 per 1000 live births, seems to be the most common cause of lifelong physical disability, and has an impact on the child, caregivers, and society. The incidence of cerebral palsy continues to rise owing to the large numbers of premature and high-risk infants who survive. Task-oriented arm approaches promote intensive, meaningful, and goal-oriented training in subjects, and the voluntary functional activities of these subjects possibly reduce their motor disabilities.
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of music therapy on the upper extremity functions and quality of life of individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP). The secondary aim is to investigate the effect of music therapy on the sensory functions of the upper extremity in individuals with CP. Adolescent individuals with hemiparetic CP will participate in this study, and the participants will experience music therapy, which is a scientific intervention approach. If music therapy has a positive effect on upper extremity functions, they will be more active in daily life and their quality of life will increase. In the light of these data to be presented, a contribution will be made to the evidence level of music therapy in the literature and to the content of SP upper extremity rehabilitation.
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.
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 purpose of this research is to see the effect of classic constraint-induced movement therapy and its modified form on quality of life of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Randomized controlled trials with 2-3 weeks follow-up. The sample size is 40. The subjects are divided in two groups, 20 subjects in classical CIMT group and 20 in modified CIMT group. Study duration is of 6 months. Sampling technique applied will be purposive non probability sampling technique. Only 4-12 years individual with hemiplegic cerebral palsy are included. Tools used in the study are Cerebral palsy (quality of life) and Kid Screen 27.
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
