Caregiver Burden in Cerebral Palsy Undergoing Hip and Knee Surgery
The aim of this observational study was to obtain information about the change in the burden of care of parents of children with cerebral palsy after hip and knee surgeries. The main questions it aims to answer are: Q1-Does caregiver burden change after hip and knee surgeries? Q2-If so, which …
Which Taping Technique is More Effective on Balance Skills in Children With Mildly Affected Cerebral Palsy?
"Our study aims to determine which of ankle correction, quadriceps facilitation, and gluteus maximus facilitation taping provides a better immediate effect on balance skills in children with mildly affected cerebral palsy. Children whose parents have given consent for the study will undergo three different taping applications with a one-week interval. …
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 …
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 …
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 …
The Muscle in Cerebral Palsy; Sarcomere Length in Vivo and Microscopic Characterization of Biopsies.
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 …
Anatomical and Functional Imaging Correlates of Chronic Pain in Cerebral Palsy
The investigators hope to use MRI biomarkers to identify and characterize sensorimotor network disruption patterns associated with chronic pain and sensory deficits in CP. Investigators will use existing information in the medical record as well as subjective reports from interview, physical exam data, and anatomical and functional MRI data to …
