Power2Walk: the Impact of Functional Power Training on Participation and Activity in Children with Cerebral Palsy.
Rationale: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience limitations in walking ability due to functional motor impairments caused by neurodevelopmental damage during fetal or early child development. Due to these motor impairments, children with CP struggle to keep up with typically developing peers when participating in physical and/or social activities. Consequently, …
Rhythmic Stabilization Versus Ball Balancing
Spastic Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the leading cause of upper motor neuron syndrome (UMN) in children. The primary factors contributing to motor behavior disorders in these children are impairments in motor control and muscle strength. These impairments result in changes in muscle growth and hinder the development of motor skills, …
Effects of Botulinum Toxin Injection Combined with RESWT in Lower Extremity Spasticity in Children with Cerebral Palsy
This study aimed to check and compare the effects of botulinum toxin injection combined with shock wave therapy versus botulinum toxin injection only for lower extremity spasticity in children with cerebral palsy
Exopulse Mollii Suit, Motor Functions & CP Children With Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is is estimated to be around 1.5-3 per live birth, with prenatal factors accounting for 75% of cases. CP appears in early childhood and persists with age and is characterized by permanent lesions or abnormalities affecting the immature brain. It mainly occurs as a motor system disorder …
Upper Limb Somatosensory Discrimination Therapy and Dose-matched Motor Therapy in Children and Adolescents With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
A randomized, controlled, and evaluator-blinded trial will be carried out to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of upper limb somatosensory discrimination therapy compared to an equal dose of motor therapy on sensorimotor outcomes in children and adolescents with spastic unilateral cerebral palsy aged 7 to 15 years old. Additionally, …
Radiosurgery Treatment for Spasticity Associated With Stroke, SCI & Cerebral Palsy
A scientific study is being done to test a special treatment for people who have spasticity or tight muscles. This treatment is called "stereotactic radiosurgery dorsal rhizotomy." It uses very accurate beams of radiation to target certain nerves in the back to help loosen up the muscles. In this study, …
Cerebellar Deep Brain Stimulation for Movement Disorders in Cerebral Palsy in Children and Young Adults
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of placing Deep Brain Stimulators (DBS) in a part of the brain called the cerebellum and using electrical stimulation of that part of the brain to treat movement symptoms related to cerebral palsy. Ten children and young adults with dyskinetic …
Effect of Hydrotherapy Versus Aerobic Exercise on Pulmonary Function on Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsied Children
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood. Respiratory muscle weakness and a low upper to lower chest diameter ratio are common respiratory dysfunction manifestations in those children which negatively affect their quality of life..
Genetic Predisposition in Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a major neurodevelopmental disorder with an estimated prevalence of approximately one in 500 children. It is characterised by permanent developmental disorders of movement and posture, responsible for activity limitations, caused by non-progressive damage to the brain of the fetus, newborn or infant during development. The neurobiological …
EXOPULSE Mollii Suit & Cerebral Palsy
Spasticity is a frequent and debilitating symptom in patients with cerebral palsy. It can alter the patients' balance, mobility, as well as their quality of life (QoL). The available therapeutic strategies for treating spasticity and related symptoms are usually faced with limited efficacy and numerous side effects. For these reasons, …
