Motor Training for Infants With Cerebral Palsy
The intervention in this study, Let's Move, is a motor intervention for infants at risk for cerebral palsy. We will test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention as well as preliminary effectiveness.
Effectiveness of Robotic Gait Training and Physical Therapy for Children and Youth With Cerebral Palsy
Robot assisted gait training is seen as a promising intervention for improving the walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy, but research to support its effectiveness compared to best practice physical therapy is lacking. This research consists of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a qualitative descriptive study that is …
Evidence-Based Neurorehabilitation in Children With CP
This 3-year research project aims to investigate and compare the treatment effectiveness (in terms of motor and psychosocial outcomes) and potential predictors (in terms of demographical, biological and psychosocial domains) of the intensive and distributed Childand Family-Friendly CIT protocols with an equivalent intervention period in children with CP by quasi …
Effectiveness of Unilateral Versus Bilateral Intensive Training in Children With Cerebral Palsy
This 3-year research project aims to investigate and compare the immediate and long-term treatment effectiveness as well as motor improving curve and potential predictors of the unimanual intensive training and bimanual intensive training protocols with an equivalent intervention period in children with hemiplegic CP and children with CP with apparently …
Intensive Bimanual Intervention in Cerebral Palsy Children
Motor disorders related to cerebral palsy are often accompanied by sensory, cognitive, perceptive, communication and behavioural impairments. It has already been shown that intensive bimanual intervention can improve arm movement, but its impact on the spontaneous use of the most affected arm in everyday life remains to be established. This …
Augmenting Ankle Plantarflexor Function in Cerebral Palsy
The first specific aim is to quantify improvement in ankle muscle function and functional mobility following targeted ankle resistance gait training in ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). The primary hypothesis for the first aim is that targeted ankle resistance training will produce larger improvements in lower-extremity motor control, gait …
Early Intervention in Infants With Cerebral Palsy
Contractures are a frequent cause of reduced mobility in children with Cerebral palsy (CP) already at the age of 2-3 years. Reduced muscle use and muscle growth have been suggested as key factors in the development of contractures, suggesting that efficient early prevention will have to involve stimuli that can …
Development of a Remote Therapy Protocol for Upper Limb Function Enhancement in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The perpose of this study: Development and demonstration of a teletherapy protocol to improve upper limb function in children with cerebral palsy.
Robot-assisted Training in Children With CP
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability in early childhood causing serious motor and sensory impairments. Effective interventions for the recovery of motor functions are of profound significance to children with CP, their families, caregivers, and health professionals. Robot-assisted rehabilitation represents a frontier with potential to improve motor …
Stand-on Ride-on Power Mobility Devices for Children With Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the biomechanical factors underlying the beneficial changes in children with cerebral palsy after using individually-adapted stand-on ride-on power mobility devices (PMD). The main questions we aim to answer are: How does the use of stand-on PMDs affect static balance in …
