3D-Microscopic Muscle Architecture in Cerebral Palsy
The focus of this study is to understand and define the mechanisms of the altered muscle development and growth on a microscopic level within a long-term perspective in children with cerebral palsy and to relate these findings to muscle macroscopic properties defined by muscle imaging, to neuromuscular symptoms and to …
Botulinum Neurotoxin for Children With CP: a Delicate Balance Between Clinical Benefits and Muscular Harm
A cross-sectional design study will be carried out to explore the morphological muscle properties and alterations in muscle composition on a macroscopic level in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Muscle composition will be assessed using quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) and shear wave elastography (SWE), while macroscopic muscle size …
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 …
CP-EDIT: Cerebral Palsy - Early Diagnosis and Intervention Trial
Background. Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy is important as intervention becomes possible at a time where neuroplasticity is at the highest. Current mean age at diagnosis is 13 months in Denmark. Recent research has documented that implementation of an early-diagnosis set-up can lower diagnostic age of cerebral palsy. The aim …
Feasibility and Discriminant Validity of Monitoring Movement Behavior of Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
A new artificial intelligence network has been developed to monitor real-world daytime and nighttime movement behavior of adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). The network uses seven wearable sensors to recognize lying, sitting, and standing, as well as walking and movements of both arms and legs. This information can be useful …
Cognitive Functioning in Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by motor impairment but commonly involves more widespread difficulties, including cognitive impairment. However, cognitive impairment in CP - especially of a more subtle nature - is often overlooked, despite being associated with substantial academic, social, and emotional problems. In Denmark, the CP follow-up program …
Study of Parental Stress and Care Consumption Until 24 Months Corrected Age of Infants at a High Risk of Developmental Delay, After Discharge From Neonatal Intensive Care
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of motor disability in children, affecting 125,000 people in France and with 1800 new cases per year. Prematurity remains a major risk factor, although children born at term represent 52% of children with cerebral palsy in France. Recent international and national (Haute Autorité …
Orthosis to Improve Trunk Control in Infants Age 6-18 Months
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the SPIO® Core-MAX® Expedition orthosis on an infant's head, trunk and upper limb function.
Investigating New Methods to Study Movement in Children and Young Adults With Movement Disorders.
Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disorder that affects children. People with CP have weak muscles; they may have trouble controlling the movements of their arms and legs. Researchers have been developing braces called robotic exoskeletons for people with CP. These devices can adapt to the person …
Effects of Associated Impairments on Activity and Participation in Children With Cerebral Palsy
This study will investigate the effects of associated impairments on the activity levels and social participation of school-aged children with Cerebral Palsy (aged 6-12) and their impact on their families' quality of life and caregiving burden.
