Filter by:Preoperative preoxygenation is performed using High-flow nasal oxygen therapy, and the gastric volume before and after High-flow nasal oxygen therapy is measured by ultrasound and compared in obese patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
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.
Cerebral palsy is not a progressive disease but movement problem and musculoskeletal disorders in cerebral palsy change with time. Children with CP usually with the lower limb involvement presents with muscle weakness, limited muscular control which results in muscular insufficiency, coordination and balance impairment. These impairments effect the normal activities of child in daily living. There are many children who have good cognition but poor lower limb coordination which is leading cause of disability in them and multiple factors are responsible for them like lake of awareness in parents, no time, expensive therapy program and inappropriate techniques.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common disorder which leads to physical disability in children throughout life and begins in early childhood. In cerebral palsy spasticity is considered as a primary factor leads to much impairment which is inversely related to functional development that means greater the spasticity lowers the level of function. There are many ways to treat spasticity which involve stretching, strengthening, postural education, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, cryotherapy and myofascial release technique.
Cerebral Palsy is a neuromuscular disorder that causes multiple disabilities in an individual. Children's ability to rely on speech as a primary mode of communication can be compromised by cerebral palsy. Children with communication difficulties face many barriers to participating in everyday life and have a heightened risk of social isolation and mental health problems. So, augmentative, and alternative communication (AAC) strategies and tools are helpful for children with CP. AAC is classified into manual signs and symbols, and low, mid, and high- tech communication aids form part of a total communication approach whereby all potential modalities of communication are explored and supported. The World Health Organization International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health for Children and Youth is increasingly being used to support decision-making. The study will be carried out at Rising Sun Institute for Special Children. The study design for this study is Randomized Control Trials. The convenience Sampling Technique will be used to collect data and 16 children with cerebral palsy will be included in this study. Both males and females with the age range of 3-15 years will be included in this study. The children will be randomly assigned into groups, group A will be allocated 8 children as the control group, and in group B, 8 as the treatment/ interventional group. Dysarthric Profile will be used for assessment purposes and aided Augmentative and Alternative communication system for the intervention. The pre-assessment of the child's Early Functional development will be done. Then, the low- tech (PECS) will be used for 6 weeks for the intervention. We will take 3 sessions per week for 40 minutes for the treatment group while the control group will remain the same. After the end of 6 weeks, the post-assessment of the child's Early Functional development will also be done. This indicates the effectiveness of AAC devices in the communication of children with Cerebral Palsy. The use of AAC methods could help to reduce aggressiveness among children with cerebral palsy. Moreover, AAC-based information and tools enable them to create environments that will support or enhance the ability of people with complex communication needs to interact with family members, peers, teachers, and others.
Cerebral palsy(CP) is non-progressive disorder, undergo mishap to the developing brain and it affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. Old name of CP is "Little's disease". Cerebral means having to do with the brain. Palsy means weakness or problems with using the muscles. In Spastic diplegic, muscle stiffness is mainly in the legs, with the arms less affected or not affected at all. The most common cause of spastic diplegia is Periventricular leukomalacia, more commonly known as neonatal asphyxia or infant hypoxia-a sudden in-womb shortage of oxygen-delivery through the umbilical cord. Strength exercise is any activity that makes your muscles work harder than usual. The significance of this study is that it will define whether loaded or unloaded sit to stand strengthening exercises have good effect on muscle strength and energy expenditure in diaplegic CP. This will be a randomized clinical trial, data will be collected from District Head Quarter DHQ hafizabad. Study will be conducted on 32 patients. Inclusion criteria of this study is spastic diplegic CP children with age between 6 to 12 years, with GMFCS level 1 and 2 and those who are able to stand up from chair independently and maintain standing for more than 5 seconds without falling will be included.Diplegic CP children who had not received any strengthening exercise program in past 3 months and those less than 20 degrees limitation in passive range of motion in hip flexion will be included. Those diplegic spastic CP who have orthopedic intervention such as selective dorsal rhizotomy or botolinum toxin injection to lower extremities within past six months and orthopedic conditions or medical problems that prevented children from participating in exercises will be excluded. Group A will be provided with loaded sit to stand strengthening exercises. 1 repetition maximum(1-RM) will be used as loaded sit to stand test. Group B will be provided with unloaded sit to stand strengthening exercises. Pre and post session lower limb functional strength will be measured by performing functional strength tests while lower limb muscular strength will be measured via modified sphygmomanometer and physiological cost index will be measured to rule out energy expenditure.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in children. It is due to damage that occurs during brain development in the fetus or infant. Early treatment (before 2 years) will allow the child to promote brain plasticity to compensate for the effects of the lesion and reduce the severity of CP. The goals of early intervention are to increase motor, cognitive and communication skills, prevent complications and provide parental support. Most authors agree to recognize the benefit of early care by emphasizing home intervention programs with active parental participation. To date, no recommendations exist in France for the management of cerebral palsy in children under the age of two. It is therefore necessary to conduct scientific studies in this population. Based on published international studies, the PRECOP program (PREcoce intervention in parent-professional COoperation in Cerebral Palsy) consists of individualized care adapted to the specific needs of each child, from the arrival of the infant at home, by a multidisciplinary team during the child's first two years.
a randomized clinical trial to compare the effect of twice weekly versus daily iron therapy in treating anemia in children with cerebral palsy, to be conducted at Department of pediatric medicine children's hospital PIMS islamabad.
This study was planned to examine the effects of different focuses (external and internal focus)of attention on functional walking and balance in children with cerebral palsy. Individuals with CP between the ages of 6-18 will be included in the research. It was planned to include 24 individuals in total, 12 individuals in each group.
