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 …
Healthy Little Eyes
The purpose of this research study is to gather more information on how eye injury is related to a baby's future development and see if eye function and brain test results can be used, along with current measures, to better diagnose and treat babies with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Participants will …
Cerebral Palsy and the Study of Brain Activity During Motor Tasks
Background Two ways to study the brain while people are moving are near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG). NIRS uses light to look at blood flow in the brain when it is active. EEG records electrical activity in the brain. Both have been used safely for many years, even in …
Turkish Version of the Hammersmith Neonatal Neurological Examination (HNNE)
High-risk infants are defined as an infant with a history of adverse environmental and biological factors that may lead to neuromotor developmental problems. This group includes premature babies born at less than 37 weeks, term babies with low birth weight (LBW), or babies with developmental delays due to various reasons. …
Growing Little PEAPODS Study
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn more about how the food and nutrition babies receive while in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) influences their ability to gain weight and fat-free mass, and their future growth and development. Participants will: have body growth measurements collected using the …
Prospective Database Registry Study of Scoliosis in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of this study is to determine the radiographic and clinical outcomes of Scoliosis surgical and non-operative treatment in patients with Cerebral Palsy.
7T Anatomo-functional Characterization of Structures in the Action Observation Network
The goal of this study is to explore the anatomical-functional characteristics of the AON circuit (with particular interest for subcortical areas and the cerebellum), and the cortico-subcortical connectivity of the nodes of the AON circuit, using an ultra-high field (7T), high spatial resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging protocol. The main questions …
Gastro-oesophageal Reflux and NeuroDisability (Cerebral Palsy) in CHILDren
This study assesses the content validity of the PGSQ for parents/carer of children with cerebral palsy and GORD, including features such as readability, face validity and acceptability for completion. This will be done via 6 interviews, with the PGSQ being altered as identified as required. Reliability (test-retest) of the adapted …
Lower Extremity Neuromuscular Assessment in Children with Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the reliability (intra-rater and inter-rater) of the K-Pull dynamometer and the K-Myo non-invasive electromyography sensor (assessing neuromuscular activity) in the evaluation of the lower limbs in children with cerebral palsy. Specific objectives include: Examining differences in neuromuscular activity among children with CP …
The Muscle in Children With Cerebral Palsy - Longitudinal Exploration of Microscopic Muscle Structure.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor impairment due to a brain malformation or a brain lesion before the age of two. Spasticity, hypertonus in flexor muscles, dyscoordination and an impaired sensorimotor control are cardinal symptoms. The brain lesion is non-progressive, but the flexor muscles of the limbs will during adolescence …
