Clinical Improvement Due to the Home Use of Agilik in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a two month training with the Agilik powered orthosis improves the knee extension or the endurance in pediatric patients with Cerebral palsy and a crouch gait. It will also learn about the safety of Agilik. The main questions it aims …
Comprehensive Hand Repetation Intensive Strength Training on Upper Limb in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Hemiplegia is the medical term for paralysis of one side of the body This means their shoulder; arm, hand, leg and foot are all completely paralyzed.. It results in muscular wasting on the affected side, impairs gait, reduces motor abilities, and causes instability and a loss of grasping capacity. The …
Improving Activity in Individuals With Cerebral Palsy
Individuals with cerebral palsy are known to have a reduced amount of physical activity; yet, there are no known intervention strategies for improving the number of steps they take each day. This study will use wearable physical activity monitors to assess if behavioral coaching is a viable strategy for combating …
Adapted High-Intensity Virtual Reality Exergaming
This study will test the acceptability and benefits of a home-based high-intensity virtual reality exercise program for young people with physical disabilities. The program will last 6 weeks. There will be a total of two visits to the laboratory for exercise-related health assessments. The program includes head-mounted displays (Meta Quest) …
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: …
WBV and Serial Casting for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Children with cerebral palsy have increased muscle tone which often results in decreased active and passive movement at the ankle. While many management strategies exist (including passive stretching, WBV, serial casting, Botox, and surgical tendon lengthening), the utilization of WBV in combination with active exercises and serial casting has not …
Effects of Hippotherapy on Functionality in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of this clinical review is to investigate the effect of hippotherapy in improving upper limb functionality in children with cerebral palsy. The main question it aims to answer is The questions are as follows: Does hippotherapy improve gross motor function of the upper extremity in children with cerebral …
Upper Extremity Strengthening Interventions in Children With UCP
This study aims to compare the effects of two different upper extremity strengthening exercise approaches-bilateral strengthening exercises based on Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) patterns and plyometric exercises-on muscle thickness, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and functional performance in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). Although strengthening exercises targeting …
Neuromodulation of the Cortex and Spinal Cord
Specific Aim 1: To further quantify the difference in the sensorimotor cortical activity, spinal cord activity, and corticospinal coherence of persons with CP. Overall hypotheses: The sensorimotor cortical activity, spinal cord activity, and corticospinal coherence will be uncharacteristic in persons with CP when compared with neurotypical controls. Furthermore, the extent …
