Functional and Neuroplastic Effects of HABIT-ILE in Children With Bilateral Cerebral Palsy
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of neuroplastic and functional changes of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) when presented in two periods (2HG; n=24) versus a single period (1HG; n=24) in people with bilateral CP. The 1HG will receive 65 hours of HABIT-ILE over one …
Em-power: Maximizing Functional Independence for Children with Severe Cerebral Palsy
For children with severe cerebral palsy, a powered wheelchair (PWC) may provide their only option for functional mobility and independence. PWC use is often restricted to a small percentage of children who can quickly demonstrate proficient PWC skills within a single 30-minute PWC trial. This 2-arm, parallel group, single blinded, …
Effect of a Humanoid Robot With Virtual Reality Games to Train Arm Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy - THRIVE Trial
About 60% of children with cerebral palsy (CP) have impaired arm function. Improving arm function requires hundreds of repetitions per day, which is impossible in a single clinical visit. Thus, therapeutic exercises should be sustained in the home environment; however, the compliance in performing home exercise is low due to …
Cortical Correlates of Spatial Navigation Skills in an Immersive Virtual Reality Environment
The goal of this study is to investigate the neural mechanisms that undergoes spatial navigation skills in children/adolescents aged between 8 and 17 years. These skills play an important role in daily life, as they allow us to orient ourselves in familiar and unfamiliar environments, locate objects, interact with them …
Effects of Swiss Ball vs Frenkle Exercises on Static and Dynamic Balance in Ataxic CP
Several studies have highlighted the significant impact of cerebral palsy, a prevailing neurological and musculoskeletal developmental disorder among childhood disabilities worldwide. Within the spectrum of cerebral palsy, ataxic CP stands as the least prevalent type, accounting for 5 to 10% of all cases. Individuals diagnosed with ataxic CP encounter difficulties …
Development of a Remote Therapy Protocol for Upper Limb Function Enhancement in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The perpose of this study: Development and demonstration of a teletherapy protocol to improve upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy.
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 …
Multicenter Trial of Proximal Femoral Guided Growth in Children With CP and Hips at Risk of Dislocation (GGSH-MC)
The Guided Growth in Spastic Hip Multicenter Study (GGSH-MC) is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial that aims to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of Proximal Femoral Guided Growth (PFGG) in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and hips at risk of dislocation (HRD). Hip dislocation is a common and severe …
Perturbation-Based Balance Training on Trunk Proprioception and Balance in Cerebral Palsy:
To investigate the effect of Perturbation-Based Balance Training on trunk proprioception and balance in hemiparetic cerebral palsy
