Various studies have been done comparing the individual effects of the two interventions of Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy and Bimanual Task Training in Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy Children, but this study will compare the effects of combined interventions with a single intervention. This study will contribute to the upper motor function in hemiplegic cerebral palsy children i.e. manual dexterity, grasp and release function, quality and efficacy of movement, combined bimanual use of both hands and coordination, as a result of two intervention protocols.
The study will test a remotely delivered, intensive, therapist-led, pediatric CIMT intervention, to improve the quality and frequency of upper limb movement during functional activity. We will evaluate: remote assessment of patient motor outcomes; computer-based video interaction for parent training in shaping therapeutic activities; child, parent, and therapist interactions; remote delivery of treatment; and the usability and usefulness of technology (e.g. reliability of internet connection; video streaming). As a final product, the study will yield a feasible and acceptable tele-rehabilitation protocol that meets our fidelity and reliability criteria and is ready for larger-scale efficacy testing in children with hemiplegic CP, ages 1-10 years.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that causes activity limitation resulting from movement and posture deficiencies as a result of a lesion in the immature brain. Children with CP usually have difficulties in mobility, transfer and social participation due to many motor and sensory disorders such as muscle weakness, decreased postural control, balance, spasticity.Hypertonus and abnormal motor patterns, lack of trunk control and postural disorders adversely affect the physical development of these children. Children with CP show various posture disorders due to proximal muscle strength losses leading to limitations and deficiencies in postural reactions. This leads to losses in reactive and antisipatory postural adjustments, and limits upper extremity functions such as walking, reaching, and eating. For this reason, children with CP have difficulties in maintaining balance while standing or sitting independently, walking, maintaining postural control in various environments such as walking, hills/uneven floors, performing activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder that starts in the early stages of life, causes activity limitation, and consists of movement and posture deficiencies. Children with CP usually have difficulties in mobility, transfer and social participation due to many motor and sensory disorders such as muscle weakness, decreased postural control, balance, spasticity. Many children with CP have difficulty in balancing independently, walking, walking on hills/uneven ground, and performing daily physical functions.
weakness of lower limb is common in cp children
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vibration and kinesiology tape applications applied to the affected side forearm extensor muscles on dexterity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
BACKGROUND: Walking and balance problems are among the most common problems in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Hip abduction and extension muscle function insufficiencies are common in children with CP. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate and long-term effects of Kinesio® Taping (KT) applied on the gluteus maximus and gluteus medius muscles on walking, functionality, balance, and participation in children with unilateral spastic CP. METHOD: This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial. The study included 20 children with unilateral spastic CP: 11 in the taping group and 9 in the control group. KT was applied in the taping group for 4 weeks in addition to a physiotherapy program. The control group received only the physiotherapy program. Body structure and functions were evaluated with the Pediatric Berg Balance Scale (PBBS). Activity was evaluated with the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), Gross Motor Function Scale (GMFM-88), the BTS G-Walk Spatiotemporal Gait Analysis System. Participation was evaluated with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Evaluations were made at the beginning of the study and 30 minutes after the first tape application, and at the end of 4 weeks in the taping group. The level of significance was accepted as p<0.05.
As many researches have been conducted to see the effects of vestibular system activation on gross motor activities of children with cerebral palsy but there are limited researches on improvement of motor abilities of hemiplegic cerebral palsy child using UEU or BOSU ball or treadmill in a single study. There is lack of research on vestibular stimulation in hemiplegic cerebral palsy along with neurodevelopmental treatment. This study will improve the gross motor activities of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It will broaden up the ways for physical therapist to deal with this type of cerebral palsy (hemiplegic).
