Feasibility and Discriminant Validity of Monitoring Movement Behavior of Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
A new artificial intelligence network has been developed to monitor real-world daytime and nighttime movement behavior of adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). The network uses seven wearable sensors to recognize lying, sitting, and standing, as well as walking and movements of both arms and legs. This information can be useful …
Cognitive Functioning in Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by motor impairment but commonly involves more widespread difficulties, including cognitive impairment. However, cognitive impairment in CP - especially of a more subtle nature - is often overlooked, despite being associated with substantial academic, social, and emotional problems. In Denmark, the CP follow-up program …
Chronic Postsurgical Pain
The study purpose is to document the typical trajectory of perioperative pain experience in Cerebral Palsy (CP) and to identify important predictive factors for the development of chronic postsurgical pain. The main aims of the investigators are to: Quantify the trajectory of pain and opioid use in the context of …
Natural History of Cerebral Palsy Prospective Study
The study will describe the natural history of cerebral palsy (CP) as children develop over the first 2 years of life.
Investigating New Methods to Study Movement in Children and Young Adults With Movement Disorders.
Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disorder that affects children. People with CP have weak muscles; they may have trouble controlling the movements of their arms and legs. Researchers have been developing braces called robotic exoskeletons for people with CP. These devices can adapt to the person …
The Effect of a Comprehensive Rehabilitation Program Using Robotic Walking and Functional Electrical Stimulation Technologies on Balance and Walking in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a comprehensive rehabilitation program using robotic walking and functional electrical stimulation technologies on balance and gait in children with cerebral palsy. This study was planned as a prospective observational study. A total of 30 patients in two groups were …
Which Taping Technique is More Effective on Balance Skills in Children With Mildly Affected Cerebral Palsy?
"Our study aims to determine which of ankle correction, quadriceps facilitation, and gluteus maximus facilitation taping provides a better immediate effect on balance skills in children with mildly affected cerebral palsy. Children whose parents have given consent for the study will undergo three different taping applications with a one-week interval. …
Medium to Long Term Outcomes of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the medium to long-term outcomes (3-10 years) after Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) in ambulatory children and young people with cerebral palsy. The participants will complete a survey, come to hospital for some measurements and tests. Some parents and children and young …
Predictors of Range of Motion and Balance Abnormalities in Children Diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy
To better understand the factors that contribute to ROM abnormalities in children diagnosed with CP. To describe the distribution of primary (muscle tone and postural stability)and secondary impairments (ROM and functional muscle strength) across the gross motor spectrum measured by GMFCS scores. To evaluate the effects of primary and secondary …
Validity and Reliability of the Egyptian-Arabic Version of ABILHAND-Kids
HYPOTHESES It is hypothesized that the Egyptian-Arabic ABILHAND-Kids 21-item will be psychometrically appropriate to be used with Egyptian children with cerebral palsy.
