Resistance Intensive Personal Training for Youth With Cerebral Palsy
Changes related to Cerebral Palsy (CP) include differences in muscle architecture and cortical activity. These result in weakness, decreased functional ability and limited participation in physical activity. Strength training programs, particularly those including power training components, show great potential in improving the gross motor function of youth with CP. However, …
Trunk Activity Rehabilitation in Young Children With Cerebral Palsy
Children with CP exhibit trunk control issues from early childhood, affecting their balance and gait. These issues manifest as unstable walking, increased step width, and more pronounced anterior deceleration of the sternum. Previous studies have shown that early action of the triceps surae compensates for the deficit in trunk postural …
Motor Imagery and Functional Performance in Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motor imagery capacity and functional mobility, walking and balance in children with diplegic type cerebral palsy.
tDCS and Bimanual Therapy for Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with bimanual training on hand function in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). Children who enroll in the protocol will be randomized to receive either sham (not stimulating) tDCS plus bimanual training, or …
Upper Extremity Sensation and Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy
This cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate upper extremity sensation in children with spastic cerebral palsy and to investigate its effect on upper extremity use in activities of daily living. Children aged 6-15 years with cerebral palsy (n=12) and typically developing peers (n=12) who volunteer to participate in the study …
A Novel Program Using Ride-on Toys to Improve Upper Extremity Function in Children With Hemiplegia
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and utility of 2 types of play-based training programs co-delivered by researchers and caregivers within home/community settings to promote arm function among 3-to-8-year-old children with hemiplegia. Specifically, investigators will assess the feasibility of implementation and acceptance/satisfaction associated with a researcher-caregiver …
Behavioral Assessment Method Index
The overall goal of this study is to develop and improve assessment methods for children with and without perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAS)/hemiparetic cerebral palsy (HCP). The focus is on behaviors of the arms and hands and includes other domains of child development like fine motor, gross motor, language, cognition, …
Using Augmented Reality to Promote Physical Activity in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Children with cerebral palsy (CP), Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale (GMFCS) I-II will be recruited to participate in a home based physical activity intervention for 12 weeks. Demographic data will be collected, and validated surveys assessing baseline activity level and quality of life will be administered. Participants will have an …
Whole-Body Vibration Therapy in the Gait of Children With Cerebral Palsy
Observation of the effect of vibration therapy on the gait of children with cerebral palsy and the analysis of their functional evolution
Evaluating Bone Marrow Cell Transplant for Treating Cerebral Palsy From Brain Hypoxia
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transfusion in treating cerebral palsy caused by cerebral hypoxia. The key questions the study seeks to answer are: What is the safety profile in terms of adverse events (AE) and serious adverse events (SAE) observed over …
