Neural Mobilization and Cerebral Palsy
Objective: To assess the effect of neural mobilization applied to the lower limbs, compared to conventional physical therapy, in children diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy. Using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, the investigators will try to evaluate the impact of the intervention in aspects related with structure, activity, …
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 …
Fascial Manipulation in Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation
The purpose of the study is to investigate the potential additional benefits of a relatively new physiotherapy method, fascial manipulation, in the rehabilitation of movement difficulties or other problems caused by CP (cerebral palsy). A physiotherapist specialized in fascial manipulation specifically treats the muscle fascia, which plays a central role …
Non-Invasive Measurement of Pulmonary Dysfunction in Children With Cerebral Palsy
This proposal addresses pulmonary dysfunction in severe cerebral palsy by using a novel non-invasive respiratory sensor. The two aims of the project are to 1) provide a screening tool to detect respiratory distress and 2) Find a correlation between the degree of pulmonary dysfunction and scoliosis in children with cerebral …
Feasibility of an In-home Standing and Walking Intervention for Infants With and at High Risk of Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and begin to evaluate the effect of an intensive in-home standing and walking intervention for infants with or at high risk of cerebral palsy.
Efficacy Research of Bimanual Intensive Training in Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
This research project aims to investigate the feasibility, efficacy, and acceptability of camp-based model of BIT.
Telemedicine in Early Childhood Constraint Therapy in Cerebral Palsy
This study assesses two active treatments in different sequences and a standard of care group among infants with cerebral palsy.
GO-PLAY - Early Family-Centered Intervention for Infants With High-Risk of Cerebral Palsy
Background. Early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is important to enable appropriate intervention at a time when neuroplasticity is at its highest. Early intervention with focus on family-centered, home-based, parent-involved, and supervised by specialist therapists show positive cognitive and motor outcomes. This study adhere to international guidelines for early diagnosis …
Safety and Performance of Agilik in CP
The purpose of this post market study is to demonstrate the safety and performance of a powered extension assist (EA) knee ankle foot orthosis (KAFO), or EA-KAFO, in individuals with knee extension deficiency due to cerebral palsy (CP). The EA-KAFO tested in this investigation, whose commercial name is Agilik™, is …
Effects of Treadmill Training and Whole-body Vibration in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Whole-body vibration (WBV) and treadmill training (TT) are commonly-utilized rehabilitation interventions for children with neuromotor disorders. WBV has been shown in the literature to positively affect gait and lower body spasticity in this population. However, the effects of a single session of WBV are generally transient, lasting between ten minutes …
