Filter by:Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic condition that causes the most childhood disabilities on worldwide. Impairment in movement and posture development seen in children with CP it causes difficulties in performing activities and affect in emotional, social, and cognitive abilities cause limited participation in everyday life. The ICF-CY child is divided into five categories: body structure and functions, activities, participation, environmental and personal factors, it is treated holistically. Initially, children with CP have adopted the view that environmental factors can also affect functionality, while focusing on the treatment of motor disorders to reduce activity and participation limitations in physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications. Environmental factors; the environment in which the child lives, his family, the devices he uses, health and care services, and government policies. These factors vary according to each country's own cultural and economic opportunities. The investigator planned to do this study because we found that there is a need for a comprehensive study of children with SP in Turkey, which does not reveal the relationship between environmental factors and activity and level of participation.
Purpose:To observe the effects of music therapy on gross motor functions, pain and functional independence measurement in children with cerebral palsy(CP). Methods:Forty children with CP between 5-11years of age,were randomly divided into a music therapy(MT)+Neurodevelopmental techniques(NDT)group and only NDT group.Children listened to Classical music disc for 45 minutes.Children treated by NDT while listening to this music.Children were evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measurement(GMFM-88),WeeFIM for functional independence measurement,Wong-Baker faces pain rating scale (FACES) for pain intensity before,at the end of treatment and after 3 months of treatment.The treatments were given 3 times in every week,and totally 15 treatments were applied for 5 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the movement of the diaphragm after an interscalene block with liposome bupivacaine (LB) compared to interscalene block (IB) with bupivacaine. This study will evaluate if there is a possible prolonged phrenic nerve paralysis when using liposome bupivacaine in an interscalene block, using ultrasound.
Thyroidectomy is a frequently performed surgeon by the head and neck and endocrine surgeons. In recent years, surgical techniques and technological developments have resulted in a significant reduction in complication rates. Despite these advances, there is still a great deal of anxiety about the sound problems that can be experienced in patients after surgery. In the past years,the investigators have tried to prevent recurrent nerve paralysis by using intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM). The use of IONM has begun to be preferred by many surgeons in the investigator's country. However, the use of IONM decreases the number of recurrent nerve paralysis are still being discussed and many studies have been done. In this study, it is aimed to prevent the formation of recurrent nerve paralysis in order to safely carry out the IONM by removing the effects of neuromuscular blockade drugs using sugammadex sodium medicine in the thyroidectomy operations.
A study of stereotactic, intracerebral injection of CTX0E03 neural stem cells into patients with moderate to moderately severe disability as a result of an ischemic stroke.
Currently, physicians have several options in addressing the anatomic and physiologic sequela of facial paralysis. However, strategies to address the psychologic and coping ability for patients have not been investigated. The goal is to investigate the effect of mindfulness meditation on social functioning in patients with facial paralysis. This study will also explore whether increasing social functioning in patients with facial paralysis will improve overall quality of life. These questions will be answered using a randomized controlled trial.
The proposed study will test the feasibility and effectiveness of a "Magic Camp" in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). A single group pretest-posttest design (n=10) will be used to investigate the immediate (2 weeks) and longer-term effect (3 months) of a "Magic Camp" on improving upper limb motor function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with hemiplegic CP.
1. To figure out the effect of soccer play (once a week for 8 weeks) on pulmonary function in children with cerebral palsy 2. To find out if the leisure activity (soccer) increase the quality of life, motor function, gait function etc.. 3. Safety of soccer play in children with cerebral palsy
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain reorganization, functional motor development, level of daily living activity and quality of life of upper extremity mirror therapy in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Several studies have reported increased use of the affected arm following rearrangement of cerebral re-organization with mirror therapy. The investigator's study is the first of its kind and was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of upper extremity mirror therapy in cerebral reorganization and functional motor skills in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Hypothesis of this study is that mirror therapy improves brain re-organisation, functional motor skills and daily living activities in unilateral spastic CP.
The objective of this study is to analyze prevalence of orofacial dysfunction in children with cerebral palsy by using Nordic Orofacial Test screening (NOT-S) and its association with oral health status and quality of life.
