Effects of Task Oriented Circuit Training on Functional Mobility and Activity Participation in Cerebral Palsy
cerebral palsy hemiplegia often experiences motor problems that primarily affect one side of their body. Children with hemiplegia have difficulties in functional activities. Task-Oriented Circuit Training (TOCT) is a high-intensity, progressive intervention designed to improve functional motor skills by engaging individuals in repetitive, task-specific exercis it is randomized control trail …
Acceptability and Efficacy of GO MOVE
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability and efficacy of Go Move, a mobile website developed to assist youth with unilateral cerebral palsy and their caregivers with setting goals and selecting exercises and activities to meet the goals. The main question[s] it aims to answer …
Bootle Blast: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
One in 500 Canadians has cerebral palsy (CP), a lifelong condition affecting movement and function. Physical and occupational therapies greatly benefit children with CP but can be costly and difficult to access. Children, parents, and clinicians are interested in using movement-tracking video games for home-based hand/arm therapy. Yet, the technologies …
Implementation of Therapy Together
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn about the implementation of Therapy Together, a pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy program in young children with unilateral cerebral palsy. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Is the Therapy Together program effective in improving hand function and occupational performance …
Using Power Mobility Training to Promote Arm & Hand Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Approximately 40% of children with ambulatory cerebral palsy have significant functional asymmetries in arm and hand function. Children with these significant functional asymmetries have difficulties using their more-affected (less preferred) arm and hand in daily activities, especially true in daily activities requiring bilateral hand and arm use. Recent research suggests …
Acceptability and Tolerance Study of Bolus Tube Feed With Food Blends
This is a prospective acceptability study to evaluate the gastrointestinal tolerance and compliance of a bolus tube feed over a 28 -day period for up to 50 participants. The enteral bolus formula is for the dietary management of patients with short bowel syndrome; intractable malabsorption; preoperative preparation of undernourished patients; …
Effect of Botulinum Toxin Type A on Motor Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Project Identification and Researchers Title: "Changes in functionality and quality of life when applying the botulinum toxin type A infiltration protocol in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy of the spastic hemiparesis type GMFCS I and II, from the Teletón Institute Santiago: A prospective single-group trial." This project is led …
Effects of Hydrotherapy in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this observational study is to learn the effects of hydrotherapy in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to answer if hydrotherapy is affective on balance and selective motor control of the children with cerebral palsy.
Effects of VOJTA Technique on Ataxic Cerebral Palsy.
Ataxic cerebral palsy (CP) is the least common subtype of CP and it is primarily caused by cerebellar damage that results in hypotonia, impaired balance, poor coordination, tremors, wide-based gait, and significant difficulties in trunk stability and uncontrolled movements. These impairments greatly affect functional mobility and independence in life. This …
Serious Game-based Intervention in Gait Rehabilitation for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is defined as a group of movement and posture disorders that cause activity limitation due to brain damage during fetal development or in the first year of life. Motor activities, and in particular walking, can be affected by many factors including sensory deficits, biomechanical and postural limitations, …
