Relationship Between Gross Motor Coordination and Balance in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
This study aims to determine if there is a connection between gross motor coordination and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Since these children often struggle with balance and other motor skills, researchers hypothesize that there is no link between the two abilities.
Evaluation of Macroscopic Muscle Growth in Infants and Young Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
A mixed longitudinal design study will be carried out to explore the onset and time course of morphological muscle changes on a macroscopic level in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Therefore, this project aims to (1) describe the macroscopic morphological muscle changes with increasing age and (2) evaluate the …
Effect of Functional Power Training on Calf Muscle Length and Strength in Children With Spastic Paresis
Spastic paresis (SP) is a common motor condition in children and is often caused by cerebral palsy. Skeletal muscles develop differently in children with SP due to brain damage in early development; muscle strength and muscle length are reduced compared to typically developing (TD) children. Especially, the calf muscles are …
Multidimensional Approach in Patients With Severe Cerebral Palsy, Prospective Cohort(MAPCP Cohort)-Offline
In children with cerebral palsy, secondary problems lead to hip dislocation and scoliosis. But There is no definite evidence for the dislocation of hip and scoliosis. The investigators want to verify evidence of scoliosis and dislocation of hip.
Muscle-tendon Pathology and Metabolic Dysregulation in CP
The main aim of this project is to gain knowledge about the muscle-tendon pathology of moderately to severely affected young people with cerebral palsy and their risk for cardiometabolic diseases and chronic inflammation. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether there are associations between the existing pathophysiology as well as inactivity …
3D-Microscopic Muscle Architecture in Cerebral Palsy
The focus of this study is to understand and define the mechanisms of the altered muscle development and growth on a microscopic level within a long-term perspective in children with cerebral palsy and to relate these findings to muscle macroscopic properties defined by muscle imaging, to neuromuscular symptoms and to …
Botulinum Neurotoxin for Children With CP: a Delicate Balance Between Clinical Benefits and Muscular Harm
A cross-sectional design study will be carried out to explore the morphological muscle properties and alterations in muscle composition on a macroscopic level in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Muscle composition will be assessed using quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) and shear wave elastography (SWE), while macroscopic muscle size …
The Effect of AFOs on the EMG of Children With CP
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have altered gait patterns as a result of primary and secondary symptoms. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are frequently used to improve their gait. Despite evidence of AFO-effects on gait kinetics and -kinematics, the effects on muscle activity remain unclear. This study will investigate the effect of …
CP-EDIT: Cerebral Palsy - Early Diagnosis and Intervention Trial
Background. Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy is important as intervention becomes possible at a time where neuroplasticity is at the highest. Current mean age at diagnosis is 13 months in Denmark. Recent research has documented that implementation of an early-diagnosis set-up can lower diagnostic age of cerebral palsy. The aim …
Orthosis to Improve Trunk Control in Infants Age 6-18 Months
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the SPIO® Core-MAX® Expedition orthosis on an infant's head, trunk and upper limb function.
