Filter by:Background: Standing and walking serve an individual's basic need to move from place to place, and both are the most common activities that people do on a daily basis. Aim: to investigate the combined effect of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection and ankle weight on the gait of diplegic children who are using Ankle foot orthoses.
The purposes of the current study are to: Define and compare between the efficacy of arm ergometer versus stabilization exercises on trunk control, hand grip power and upper limb quality of functions in children with diplegia.
Gait in children with spastic CP is often characterized by abnormal gait kinematics as knee flexion and equines foot which associated with such gait deviations, an elevated walking energy cost is often observed which may contribute to activity limitations. The ability to maintain proper joint alignment of the lower extremity, and control the position of the foot in standing and walking is a critical treatment objective for gait in children with cerebral palsy. Lower extremity orthoses, such as ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are widely recommended in children with spastic cerebral palsy to prevent the development or progression of this deformity and to improve the dynamic efficiency of the child's gait. The use of Kinesio taping in pediatric rehabilitation becomes increasingly popular in recent years. Recent systematic reviews reported moderate evidence that Kinesiology taping is a useful adjunct to physiotherapy intervention in higher functioning children with CP. Combination tapings is a technique first introduced by Kenzo Kase, in which Kinesio taping is coupled with the rigid athletic tape to maximize the treatment benefits. This approach remains briefly addressed in the literature with no prior studies has examined the effects of combination tapings in the CP pediatric population. Hypothesis: there is no difference between the effect of combining tapings and ankle-foot orthosis on spatiotemporal gait parameters in spastic cerebral palsied
This study will help to determine the beneficial effects of high frequency vibration on children with diplegic cerebral palsy in improving balance ,spasticity, strength of lower limb and quality of life and a comparison between the effect of simple conventional treatment and conventional management with the usage of vibrational therapy in cp patients.
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing 3 months of intensive leg exercise to standard physiotherapy care for the improvement of motor function in the legs in young children with spastic diplegia.
The adaptations in kinematics and muscle activity, investigated by 3D gait analysis and dynamic electromyography recordings, will be studied in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy during level walking, and before and after a training on a treadmill with a sloped surface (7°). Data will be compared with those obtained in a sample of typically developing (TD) children (controls)
Children with cerebral palsy commonly undergo "multilevel surgery", meaning several lower limb combined procedures performed during the same surgical intervention. The aim of this type of surgery is to correct all deformities together in order to restore near to normal anatomy and muscular function. It is very important to be able to obtain good range of motion after surgery, in order to consolidate surgical results. During the first days after the operation, children are sore and it may be difficult to realize adequate physical therapy. In order to palliate this situation, MEOPA gaz is used during REHAB sessions. Good results have been obtained so far but no study is available to demonstrate these results. The goal of our research is to prove that there is a benefit in using MEOPA postoperatively in these patients.
