Gait Training Program with Blood Flow Restriction in Children with Cerebral Palsy - EMBRIN: Pilot Study
This is a single-center prospective experimental pilot study to assess the feasibility, tolerability and effect of a 10-week gait training program combined with simultaneous blood flow restriction (BFR) on the walking speed of children, aged 8 to 18, with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. The children will receive a 10-week intervention …
Effects of Mirror Therapy on Lower Extremity in CP Children
A non-progressive condition that harms the developing brain both during and after birth is cerebral palsy (CP). It is a multifaceted syndrome marked by abnormalities in movement and posture, along with concomitant sensory-motor, cognitive, and behavioral impairments and seizures. CP can be divided into three types based on neurological classification: …
Effect of Kinesio-taping of Lower Limbs
The goal of this clinical trail is to test if kinesio-taping on lower limbs has an effect on balance and gait in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. Children in study group will have designed physiotherapy for gait and balance, the control group will have designed physiotherapy in addition to kinesio-taping …
Trunk Stabilization vs. Core Stability Exercises: Impact on Balance and Walking Ability in Cerebral Palsy.
Brain lesions cause cerebral palsy, a chronic condition that affects movement, posture, and balance. Its causes range in age from pregnancy to postpartum, and they can impact the neurological, musculoskeletal, and sensory systems. This causes problems with balance, movement, and posture. It is essential to intervene early for improved life …
Whole Body Metabolism in Children With Cerebral Palsy With Low Skeletal Muscle Mass
At the center of pediatrics in Copenhagen the investigators experience that the children with CP with low skeletal muscle mass have more complications and admission after for example surgery is prolonged due to these complications. In order to prevent malnutrition and energy insufficiency as well as obesity and cardiometabolic disorders …
Upper Extremity Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Chest Expansion Exercises in Cerebral Palsy
Thoracic mobility is the mobility of the thoracic spine, and the rib cage is often measured by the degree of thorax expansion during breathing. Thoracic mobility is affected by many reasons, such as breathing mechanics, muscle stiffness, a sedentary lifestyle, and poor posture. The risk of respiratory illness should be …
EARLY Intervention in Parent-professional Cooperation in Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in children. It is due to damage that occurs during brain development in the fetus or infant. Early treatment (before 2 years) will allow the child to promote brain plasticity to compensate for the effects of the lesion and reduce the …
Hippotherapy Simulators on Trunk Control and Upper Extremity Functions in Cerebral Palsy
The hippotherapy simulator imitates the three-dimensional mechanical movement and walking of the horse and transfers the mechanical effect to the rider during hippotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise program with hippotherapy simulator on upper extremity functions and trunk control of individuals with cerebral …
Rhythm Effect on Dance Learning in Children with and Without Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral Palsy (CP) leads to motor impairments and impacts activities of daily living and academic and social achievement (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Children with CP present impaired procedural learning abilities that is the ability to acquire cognitive-motor skills with practice (Gagliardi et al., 2011; Gofer-Levi et al., 2013). However, some …
Study of the Effect of Peripheral Somatosensory Stimulation on the Functionality of Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Reduced Mobility
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent neurological disorder that affects movement and posture, caused by an injury to the developing brain. It may also be accompanied by cognitive, hearing, and speech impairments, as well as epilepsy. Although it is a condition that manifests in childhood, its effects persist throughout life, …
