Home-based Gait Rehabilitation Service Using the Insole-type Gait Analysis Device for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Walking is a crucial daily activity that requires complex coordination of muscular systems. It is essential for bone and muscle health, cardiovascular fitness, and activities of daily living, making it an important indicator of prognosis and patient function. Insole gait analysis devices are affordable and easy to use, and they …
Neuroimaging of Babies During Natural Sleep to Assess Typical Development and Cerebral Palsy
Background: Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is crucial, enabling intervention when neuroplasticity is at its highest. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a vital role in CP diagnosis. Currently, diagnostic MRI of newborns and infants with suspected brain damage relies heavily on structural MR images. The current study aims to …
Effect of Treatment on Cerebral Palsy Patient With Crouch Gait Associated With Anterior Pelvic Tilt and Soleus Muscle Weakness"Marouf Syndrome", and Muscle Assesment by Using EMG
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often develop gait abnormalities, with crouch gait being a common and challenging issue that affects their posture and daily function. Numerous studies indicate that crouch gait is primarily caused by hamstring tightness and quadriceps weakness. Traditional treatment approaches focus on hamstring stretching and quadriceps strengthening …
A Feasibility Randomised Controlled Trial of an Online Exercise Programme for Adults With Cerebral Palsy
Adults with cerebral palsy (CP) often face challenges in accessing exercise programmes that are appropriate for their needs. Barriers such as limited mobility, a lack of tailored options, and restricted access to physiotherapy services can make participation difficult. Exercise is important for improving physical health, mental well-being, and overall quality …
Effects of Trunk-Focused Rehabilitation on Spinal Mobility, Trunk Control, and Hand Functions in Cerebral Palsy
Main Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effects of trunk-focused rehabilitation on trunk control, spinal mobility, and manual skills in adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Secondary Purpose: To investigate its effects on functional health.
Robotic Knee Orthosis-assisted Walking in CP
Robotic exoskeletons are becoming increasingly accepted to provide upright mobility in individuals with neurological disorders. These devices can assist in overcoming gravitational forces and reduce energy consumption. Agilik is one such device intended for children with neurological disorders. However, Agilik is relatively new, and its efficacy in children with CP …
Evaluation of Brain MRI Changes in Cerebral Palsy Patients
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by sensorimotor impairment that arises during early childhood defined as a static insult to the developing brain. A key part of the definition for CP is a non-progressive brain injury; however, as individuals with CP age, a functional decline greater than neurotypical …
Speech and Arm Combined Exergame
The purpose of this study is to develop innovative home therapy games to train the weak arm and improve speech intelligibility (clarity) of children with hemiplegia from cerebral palsy. The investigators are exploring the effects of these therapy games and how they change the children's speech, hand movement, and brain …
A Motor Learning Intervention to Target Walking Performance in Ambulant Children With Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new therapy approach to improve walking ability in children with Cerebral Palsy is acceptable to the children and the families in a community setting. The main questions we look to answer are: Do the children/teens tolerate the therapy and …
School Readiness in Preschool-Aged Children With Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this feasibility and proof of concept study is to learn about the feasibility, acceptability, and impact of a school readiness program for preschool-aged children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is it feasible to implement an intensive school readiness program for …
