NCT ID: NCT05318677 Completed - Spina Bifida Clinical Trials

Sensory and Motor Proficiency For Children With Spina Bifida

Start date: January 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Spina bifida is one of the neural tube defects that cause neuromuscular dysfunction. Spina bifida is a disease accompanied by motor paralysis, musculoskeletal problems, Arnold-Chiari malformation, osteoporosis, hydrocephalus, upper limb coordination disorder. The affected upper extremity functionality and hand skills are very important for independence in daily living activities. There are some studies in the literature showing that upper extremity motor function is affected in patients with spina bifida. However, no study was found in which the upper extremity was investigated in terms of sensory and motor proficiency.The social and professional aspects of the upper extremity are of great importance.Therefore, our study aims to investigate the effects of upper extremity sensory and motor proficiency in patients with spina bifida

NCT ID: NCT05213715 Completed - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

CP
Start date: January 10, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a non-progressive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by posture and movement disorders as a result of damage to the immature brain for any reason before, during or after birth.In addition to tone, postural and neuromuscular control in children with Cerebral Palsy; Problems are also observed in communication skills, perceptual and cognitive systems and sensory systems.

NCT ID: NCT05194319 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Effect of Upper Extremity Functional Skills on Quality of Life and Participation of the Children With Cerebral Palsy

CP
Start date: November 15, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a movement and posture disorder accompanied by sensory, perception, cognition, communication and behavioral disorders that cause activity limitations by causing various non-progressive disorders of the fetal or infant brain. Spastic CP, according to the affected area in the body; It is classified as hemiparetic, diparetic and is observed most frequently. Diparetic CP, on the other hand, is characterized by significant spasticity in the pelvis and lower extremities, mild hypertonus or spasticity in the upper extremities, and incoordination, mostly involving the lower extremities and some upper extremities.Although lower extremity involvement is observed in different degrees in children with diparetic CP, studies showing how upper extremity and hand functions are affected are insufficient.The aim of this study is to compare the effect of upper extremity functional skills on quality of life and participation levels in children with diparetic CP with their healthy peers.

NCT ID: NCT05115695 Completed - Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trials

The Effect of Upper Extremity Strengthening on Functionality, Muscle Strength and Trunk in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is an activity limitation, movement and posture deficiencies in early stage of life. In 80% of these children, upper extremity (UE) dysfunctions are observed, which leads to loss of quality of life, resulting in limited participation in activities of daily living (ADL). When the hands are affected in UE, fine motor skills such as grasping, writing and object manipulation are usually limited. This results in inadequate use of the extremities in functional activities. Although all children with CP are known to be affected by UE, studies in terms of physiotherapy and rehabilitation methods mostly focused on children with hemiparetic CP. Similar problems are observed in children with bilateral involvement. However, a wide variation is observed in the bimanual performance of children with hemiparetic and bilateral involvement. Studies evaluating UE activities in children with CP; emphasized that the inability to manipulate objects manually is one of the most important reasons for the restriction of participation in ADLs. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs include many neurodevelopmental treatment approaches including stretching, strengthening, positioning, splinting, casting, orthosis selection and movement facilitation. However, it is known that studies investigating the current efficacy of these treatments on UE functions mostly focus on unilateral CP. Interventions that focus on improving UE functions in children with bilateral CP are limited. In UE rehabilitation in bilateral CP; states that target-focused therapy, bimanual intensive task specific training programs and trainings such as HABIT (intensive bimanual training of the upper extremity) involving the lower extremity have been used, but there is only evidence for HABIT-ILE (HABIT involving the lower extremity). In the literature, it is observed that strengthening training with the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) method, which makes a significant contribution to muscle strength balance, is mostly used in lower extremity rehabilitation in these children. In this study, in the UE rehabilitation of children with hemiparetic and diparetic CP; in order to stimulate motor responses and improve neuromuscular control and function, the superiority of the PNF approach applied with scapular and UE patterns over the traditional Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NGT-Bobath) method will be determined.

NCT ID: NCT05069480 Completed - Clinical trials for Upper Extremity Dysfunction

Modulation of Upper Limb Spasticity Post-Stroke

Start date: October 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Stroke is one of the commonest causes of severe disability in adults. Stroke often results in spasticity and motor impairments in the upper limb. Permanent upper extremity impairments can lead to limitations in activities of daily living, social participation, and quality of life. Spasticity may obscure motor learning ability after stroke. Spasticity control is one of the main aims of most therapists in the rehabilitation process for patients with chronic stroke. Traditional approaches for managing spasticity may not be enough for gaining satisfactory results. Virtual reality-based therapy is one of the most innovative and developments in rehabilitation technology. It could be effective in accelerating motor recovery and modulating spasticity for the involved upper limbs. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of virtual reality-based therapy on upper limb spasticity and motor functions in patients post-stroke.

Null hypothesis: There is no improvement in the functionality of MMSS after intervention with virtual reality? The proposed work will be characterized as a Randomized Clinical Trial, with evaluators outside the experimental groups (single-blind). The sample will be probabilistic, from individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

NCT ID: NCT04671524 Completed - Clinical trials for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

The Effect of Improvement in Function on Foot Pressure, Balance and Gait in Children With Upper Extremity Affected

Start date: September 15, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It has been shown that movements of the upper extremity during walking are associated with lower extremity mobility. For example, when walking at a slow pace, the swing frequency of the arms is 2: 1 compared to the legs, while the limb frequency decreases to 1: 1 as the walking speed increases. That is, in order to walk fast, the lower extremity takes advantage of the acceleration of the upper extremity [1]. It is known that the muscles of the shoulder girdle also support this oscillating movement in the upper extremity during walking. Thus, it is thought that blocking or restricting shoulder girdle and arm movements during walking increases energy expenditure and heart rate, decreases gait stability, and decreases stride length and walking speed [2,3]. However, the possible effects that the upper limb can aid in movement include decreasing vertical displacement of the center of mass, decreasing angular momentum or decreasing ground reaction moment, and increasing walking stability [2-4]. In these studies that restrict arm swing, methods such as crossing the arms on the chest [5], holding the arm in a sling or pocket [6], or fixing the arms to the trunk with a bandage [7] were used. Studies have generally been conducted on healthy individuals or on the biomechanical model, and arm swing during walking has not been investigated in pathologies with only upper extremity involvement (upper extremity fractures, Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis) without any problems with lower extremity and/or walking. This study is aimed to reveal the effects of decreased upper extremity functionality on walking and balance.
