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 …
Experiences of Managing Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children With Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a non-progressive movement disorder, which occurs due to damage to the developing brain around the time of birth. Symptoms of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) include noisy breathing during sleep, increased day-time sleepiness and reduced energy levels. In the long term, SDB might have an effect …
Prevalence of Parental Burnout Among Mothers of Children With Cerebral Palsy
This study will be done to determine the prevalence of Parental Burnout among mothers of children with cerebral palsy. Determine the relation between Parental Burnout syndrome and the motor function levels of children with cerebral palsy.
Influence of Hawthorne Effect and Dual-tasks on Gait in CP
It is the clinical experience of the authors that some children with cerebral palsy who walk in crouch gait show sufficient knee extension during the clinical gait analysis, but walk in considerable knee flexion when they leave the gait laboratory. Possible differences between walking in a gait lab and walking …
How Are the Muscles Affected in Cerebral Palsy? A Study of Muscle Biopsies Taken During Orthopaedic Surgery.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor disorder caused by an injury to the immature brain. Even though the brain damage does not change, children with CP will have progressively weaker, shorter and stiffer muscles that will lead to contractures, bony deformations, difficulty to walk and impaired manual ability. An acquired …
A Study of Adalimumab in Acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease
This project is designed to test the hypothesis that adalimumab is clinically useful for patients with acuta Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease
Relation Between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and Quality of Life In Children With Cerebral Palsy
studying the relationship between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and, Quality of Life with CP can provide valuable insights into the musculoskeletal consequences of motor impairments and guide interventions to improve bone health. Statement of the problem Is there a relation between Bone Mineral Density, Gross Motor Function and …
Epidemiology of Sleep Disordered Breathing in Children and Young People With Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) refers to a non-progressive movement disorder, which occurs due to damage to the developing brain around the time of birth. Symptoms of sleep disordered breathing (SDB) include noisy breathing during sleep,increased day-time sleepiness and reduced energy levels. In the long term, SDB might have an effect on …
Evaluation of the Transitional and Lifelong Care Program
The population cared for in the Transitional and Lifelong Care (TLC) clinic is youth and adults with childhood-onset disability, of which the large majority are adults with brain-based, neurodevelopmental conditions such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida and developmental disability. The TLC program was created to address the health inequities that …
