Early Detection & Intervention of Cerebral Palsy in Ireland
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability. It is defined as a non-progressive disorder of movement originating from neural lesions in the perinatal period, and is associated with a wide range of common comorbidities in many individuals. These include problems speaking, hearing, seeing, thinking, feeding and controlling …
Clinical Orthopaedic Data Bank (Acute and Chronic)
Data involving orthopaedic conditions and rehabilitation aspects of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders will be collected and stored as part of the normal clinical care of patients seen in the University of Florida (UF) and Shands Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute.
Development and Application of a Diagnosis and Treatment System for Children's Brain Diseases Based on Knowledge Graphs and Large Models
Using the knowledge graph and big model technology of combining Chinese and Western medicine we construct a popularization and prevention system for childhood encephalopathy an assisted decision-making system for childhood encephalopathy and a follow-up tracking question and answer system for childhood encephalopathy patients.
Investigation of Motor Imaging Skills in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
The aim of this study was to investigate implicit and explicit motor imagery skills in children with spastic cerebral palsy and typically developing children. The main questions it aims to answer are: There is a difference between the implicit motor imagery skills of children with bilateral and unilateral CP. There …
Relationship Between Gross Motor Coordination and Balance in Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
This study aims to determine if there is a connection between gross motor coordination and balance in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Since these children often struggle with balance and other motor skills, researchers hypothesize that there is no link between the two abilities.
Evaluation of Macroscopic Muscle Growth in Infants and Young Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy
A mixed longitudinal design study will be carried out to explore the onset and time course of morphological muscle changes on a macroscopic level in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Therefore, this project aims to (1) describe the macroscopic morphological muscle changes with increasing age and (2) evaluate the …
Multidimensional Approach in Patients With Severe Cerebral Palsy, Prospective Cohort(MAPCP Cohort)-Offline
In children with cerebral palsy, secondary problems lead to hip dislocation and scoliosis. But There is no definite evidence for the dislocation of hip and scoliosis. The investigators want to verify evidence of scoliosis and dislocation of hip.
Effect of Functional Power Training on Calf Muscle Length and Strength in Children With Spastic Paresis
Spastic paresis (SP) is a common motor condition in children and is often caused by cerebral palsy. Skeletal muscles develop differently in children with SP due to brain damage in early development; muscle strength and muscle length are reduced compared to typically developing (TD) children. Especially, the calf muscles are …
The Effect of AFOs on the EMG of Children With CP
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have altered gait patterns as a result of primary and secondary symptoms. Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) are frequently used to improve their gait. Despite evidence of AFO-effects on gait kinetics and -kinematics, the effects on muscle activity remain unclear. This study will investigate the effect of …
Muscle-tendon Pathology and Metabolic Dysregulation in CP
The main aim of this project is to gain knowledge about the muscle-tendon pathology of moderately to severely affected young people with cerebral palsy and their risk for cardiometabolic diseases and chronic inflammation. Furthermore, it will be investigated whether there are associations between the existing pathophysiology as well as inactivity …
