Protocol Validation of Dynamometric Measurement of Passive Inter-segmental Stiffness and Spasticity in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a group of movement and posture disorders responsible for activity limitation due to brain damage that occurs during fetal development or during the first year of a child's life. Given the multitude of treatment options available, the choice of treatment is a key determinant that …
Motor Training for Infants With Cerebral Palsy
The intervention in this study, Let's Move, is a motor intervention for infants at risk for cerebral palsy. We will test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention as well as preliminary effectiveness.
Effectiveness of Robotic Gait Training and Physical Therapy for Children and Youth With Cerebral Palsy
Robot assisted gait training is seen as a promising intervention for improving the walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy, but research to support its effectiveness compared to best practice physical therapy is lacking. This research consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a qualitative descriptive study that is …
Efficacy Research of Bimanual Intensive Training in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
This research project aims to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and acceptability of camp-based model of BIT.
Telemedicine in Early Childhood Constraint Therapy in Cerebral Palsy
This study assesses two active treatments in different sequences and a standard of care group among infants with cerebral palsy.
Augmenting Ankle Plantarflexor Function in Cerebral Palsy
The first specific aim is to quantify improvement in ankle muscle function and functional mobility following targeted ankle resistance gait training in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). The primary hypothesis for the first aim is that targeted ankle resistance training will produce larger improvements in lower-extremity motor control, gait …
Feasibility of an In-home Standing and Walking Intervention for Infants With and at High Risk of Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and begin to evaluate the effect of an intensive in-home standing and walking intervention for infants with or at high risk of cerebral palsy.
Non-Invasive Measurement of Pulmonary Dysfunction in Children With Cerebral Palsy
This proposal addresses pulmonary dysfunction in severe cerebral palsy by using a novel non-invasive respiratory sensor. The two aims of the project are to 1) provide a screening tool to detect respiratory distress and 2) Find a correlation between the degree of pulmonary dysfunction and scoliosis in children with cerebral …
Evidence-Based Neurorehabilitation in Children With CP
This 3-year research project aims to investigate and compare the treatment effectiveness (in terms of motor and psychosocial outcomes) and potential predictors (in terms of demographical, biological and psychosocial domains) of the intensive and distributed Childand Family-Friendly CIT protocols with an equivalent intervention period in children with CP by quasi …
Effects of Treadmill Training and Whole-body Vibration in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Whole-body vibration (WBV) and treadmill training (TT) are commonly-utilized rehabilitation interventions for children with neuromotor disorders. WBV has been shown in the literature to positively affect gait and lower body spasticity in this population. However, the effects of a single session of WBV are generally transient, lasting between ten minutes …
