Filter by:The 40-68% of ambulating hemiplegic children walk with genu recurvatum and hemiplegic patients shows excessive anterior pelvic tilts (>4 cm) during the stance phase. The objective of the study is to compare the effects of inclined backward treadmill walk vs kneel walk on genu recurvatum in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. 50 participants will be chosen according to inclusion exclusion criteria of the study which will be randomly allocated into two equal groups . One group will receive treadmill training programme with specifically designed physical therapy program according to child need for one hour for each child. And other group will receive kneel walking programme specifically designed physical therapy program according to child need for one hour for each child. The pre and post assessment of genurecurvatum will be assessed by Goniometer.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exoskeleton robot gait training on activities of daily living, gross motor function evaluation, balance and walking ability in adolescents 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 investigate the effect of gastrointestinal stimulation with a pacemaker on the length of postoperative bowel paralysis in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery due to metastasizing colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei. The main question it aims to answer is if the length of postoperative ileus is reduced when the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated with a pacemaker. All participants will undergo cytoreductive surgery +/- heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (the standard treatment for colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis or pseudomyxoma peritonei). After surgery, but before the abdomen is closed a pace lead will be attached to the stomach, exteriorized trough the abdominal wall and connected to an external pacemaker. The pacemaker is either turned on (experimental group) or turned off (control group). Furthermore, the patients are asked to ingest a SmartPill capsule two hours prior to surgery. This will transmit information on gastrointestinal transit times and motility. After surgery, patients will be asked to fill out a diary on bowel movements once a day.
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.
Changes related to Cerebral Palsy (CP) include differences in muscle architecture and cortical activity. These result in weakness, decreased functional ability and limited participation in physical activity. Strength training programs, particularly those including power training components, show great potential in improving the gross motor function of youth with CP. However, this intervention is not currently offered in the Calgary area. Delivered via an innovative partnership with community stakeholders, this project will investigate the preliminary effectiveness of the program to enable youth with CP to achieve child and family centered goals. It will also investigate the feasibility of offering this type of program via a community-hospital partnership. Research Question & Objectives: 1. Can youth with cerebral palsy achieve their goals and improve their motor function through RIPT (Resistance Intensive Personal Training), a power training program offered jointly by specialized physiotherapists and fitness professionals in community settings? 2. What are the barriers and facilitators to delivery of RIPT in a community setting for youth, caregivers, clinicians, and program staff?
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)_
The purpose of this research is to evaluate how people move about in different settings with different assistive devices or components, and to understand how people interact with different assistive technologies. Individuals that have limb weakness, limb paralysis, limb loss, and movement disorders are often provided assistive devices such as prostheses and orthoses to assist with mobility or use assistive technologies for purposes such as to regain muscle strength or retrain movements. It is important to understand the impact of these different assistive technologies on human movement for technology improvement and in preparation for commercialization. Because this research focuses on evaluating how different people move about in different settings with different assistive devices/components, there are different activities that may take place. These activities have been classified as (1) Movement Analysis in the Laboratory, (2) Movement Analysis Outside the Laboratory, (3) Usability Testing, and (4) Focus Groups. Each participant may or may not complete the same activities as the other participants. Each participant may or may not complete all of the activities. Participants may complete the activities more than once.
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.
