Filter by:This study was performed to evaluate posture, sleep, physical activity and quality of life in individuals with chronic constipation Cerebral Palsy.
The objective of this project is to characterize the evolution of locomotor learning over the first 18 months of life in infants at high risk for cerebral palsy (CP). To characterize how locomotor skill is learned (or not learned) during this critical period, the investigators will combine established protocols using robust, unbiased robotic and sensor technology to longitudinally study infant movement across three consecutive stages during the development of impaired human motor control - early spontaneous movement, prone locomotion (crawling), and upright locomotion (walking).
The study will enroll 20 PSP and 8 normal subjects with complete neurological examination, 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) PET and MRI assessment. To explore: (1) whether 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) can detect the 4R tau protein in the brain of PSP patients; (2) whether 18F-PMPBB3 (APN-1607) can distinguish the clinical characteristics of PSP; (3) Whether the distribution of tau deposition is related to disease severity, progression, and prognosis.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the safety and potential therapeutic effects of autologous, culture-expanded, adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell intrathecal injections in the treatment of spinal cord injury.
This research project aims to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and acceptability of camp-based model of BIT.
The aim of the study is to evaluate, with a small-scale pilot study, the efficacy of Meditation Relaxation therapy for Sleep Paralyses in patients with narcolepsy. The study involves two arms, with intervention with Meditation Relaxation therapy or sham over a period of three months.
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the effect of non-invasive repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor control in progressive supranuclear (PSP). The central hypothesis is that augmenting cerebellar inhibition via cerebellar rTMS will decrease postural instability in patients with PSP. We will use functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to examine changes in motor and premotor cortical activity after cerebellar rTMS.
Detailed description of immune response and its dynamics in sepsis and septic shock patiens by means of transcriptomics, flow-cytometry and cytokine analysis.
There is strong evidence that recent intensive interventions based on motor skill learning principles are efficient on functional and neuroplastic changes of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Besides, impaired selective voluntary motor control (SVMC) is one of four interrelated neuromuscular deficits in children with CP and is listed in the ICF-CY (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Children and Youth) under body functions. Additionally, impaired SVMC has been shown to negatively affect the motor and functional abilities of children with CP. However, there have been little scientific investigations on the trainability of SVMC according to therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the study aims to evaluate the effect of Hand and Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) on the body function and structures of children with bilateral and unilateral cerebral palsy, including SVMC and brain structure.
Recent research has shown that interventions with assistive technologies lead to an improvement in the motor and functional abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP). REAtouch® is a new interactive interface based on motor skill learning principles. Its efficiency during intensive motor skill learning interventions has never been tested in children with bilateral cerebral palsy. Therefore, the study aims to investigate the efficiency of using a virtual reality tool to provide a motor skill learning intervention in a randomized trial.
