Exercise Training Among Children With Cerebral Palsy to Increase Health and Well-being - A Feasibility Study
The use of eHealth in children with cerebral palsy (CP) holds promise to increase participation in exercise. eHealth, has shown to increase accessibility to appropriate healthcare professionals as well as reduces time- and energy consuming transportation to/from physical appointments[5]. In children with CP reduced transportation to and from appointments, increased …
Pilot Study of "Bottarga" Supplementation: A Little-known, Sustainable "Blue" Food
This pilot study aims to explore the potential benefits of consuming Greek Bottarga (grey mullet fish roe) in overweight, pre-diabetic individuals. Before initiating the crossover randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will conduct a preliminary dose-testing study in five overweight and pre-diabetic adults.Participants will undergo clinical assessments before and after …
Gut Peptides and Bone Remodeling in Children With Neuromuscular Disorders
Both GIP and GLP-2 reduce bone resorption (measured as CTX) in healthy adult individuals. In this study, we will investigate whether GIP and GLP-2 reduce CTX in children with spinal muscular atrophy, duchenne muscular dystrophy, or cerebral palsy.
Validation of a Method of Screening for Sleep Disorders in Children With Cerebral Palsy, Using Connected Tools
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of child disability. Nearly 40% of PC children suffer from sleep disorders, which are not routinely screened. The neuro-cognitive, physical and environmental morbidity of sleep disorders should require their diagnosis and management. Limited access to the reference exam (polysomnography or PSG) delays …
Effects of Power Wheelchair Soccer for Individuals Presenting With Physical Impairments
This study is a prospective interventional study. It will be conducted at a single center with participants who have neuromotor impairments. The primary objective is to assess and measure the clinical and psychosocial effects of a season of power wheelchair soccer among its participants presenting with severe motor impairments due …
Effects of Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremity on Balance and Coordination in Ataxic Cerebral Palsy
Ataxic cerebral palsy is an abnormal movement or posture pattern accompanied by a loss of coordinated muscle action, resulting in movements that lack proper force, rhythm, or accuracy. Ataxic CP is classified into cerebellar ataxia and ataxic diplegia. In Cerebellar Ataxia, the cerebellum is hypo-plastic or malformed which impairs the …
Evaluating Long-term Use of a Pediatric Robotic Exoskeleton (P.REX/Agilik) to Improve Gait in Children With Movement Disorders
Background People with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury often have muscle weakness and problems controlling how their legs move. This can affect how they walk. The NIH has designed a robotic device (exoskeleton) that can be worn on the legs while walking. The wearable robot …
Effectiveness of Suit Therapy With Dual Task Exercises on Gross Motor Functions and Walking in Children With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
This study aims to investigate the effect of suit therapy combined with dual-task training on gross motor performance and walking abilities in children with diplegic cerebral palsy.
Therapeutic Photobiomodulation and Tretament of Spasticity
Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive, permanent syndrome that occurs in childhood and is accompanied by motor, tônus and posture disorders. Its etiology is related to an insult or damage to the central nervous system in maturation. Approximately 80% of cerebral palsy course with spasticity, which, when left untreated, will generate …
Vibration Effects on Gait and Balance in CP
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the acute effects of local vibration applied to the spastic medial gastrocnemius muscle on balance and spatiotemporal gait parameters in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Children aged 4 to 18 years with spasticity levels of 1 to 2 on the Modified Ashworth Scale …
