Functional and Neuroplastic Effects of HABIT-ILE in Children With Bilateral Cerebral Palsy
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of neuroplastic and functional changes of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) when presented in two periods (2HG; n=24) versus a single period (1HG; n=24) in people with bilateral CP. The 1HG will receive 65 hours of HABIT-ILE over one …
Em-power: Maximizing Functional Independence for Children with Severe Cerebral Palsy
For children with severe cerebral palsy, a powered wheelchair (PWC) may provide their only option for functional mobility and independence. PWC use is often restricted to a small percentage of children who can quickly demonstrate proficient PWC skills within a single 30-minute PWC trial. This 2-arm, parallel group, single blinded, …
Clinical Improvement Due to the Home Use of Agilik in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a two month training with the Agilik powered orthosis improves the knee extension or the endurance in pediatric patients with Cerebral palsy and a crouch gait. It will also learn about the safety of Agilik. The main questions it aims …
Comprehensive Hand Repetation Intensive Strength Training on Upper Limb in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Hemiplegia is the medical term for paralysis of one side of the body This means their shoulder; arm, hand, leg and foot are all completely paralyzed.. It results in muscular wasting on the affected side, impairs gait, reduces motor abilities, and causes instability and a loss of grasping capacity. The …
WBV and Serial Casting for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Children with cerebral palsy have increased muscle tone which often results in decreased active and passive movement at the ankle. While many management strategies exist (including passive stretching, WBV, serial casting, Botox, and surgical tendon lengthening), the utilization of WBV in combination with active exercises and serial casting has not …
Effects of Hippotherapy on Functionality in Children With Cerebral Palsy
The purpose of this clinical review is to investigate the effect of hippotherapy in improving upper limb functionality in children with cerebral palsy. The main question it aims to answer is The questions are as follows: Does hippotherapy improve gross motor function of the upper extremity in children with cerebral …
Effect of a Humanoid Robot With Virtual Reality Games to Train Arm Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy - THRIVE Trial
About 60% of children with cerebral palsy (CP) have impaired arm function. Improving arm function requires hundreds of repetitions per day, which is impossible in a single clinical visit. Thus, therapeutic exercises should be sustained in the home environment; however, the compliance in performing home exercise is low due to …
Cortical Correlates of Spatial Navigation Skills in an Immersive Virtual Reality Environment
The goal of this study is to investigate the neural mechanisms that undergoes spatial navigation skills in children/adolescents aged between 8 and 17 years. These skills play an important role in daily life, as they allow us to orient ourselves in familiar and unfamiliar environments, locate objects, interact with them …
Effects of Swiss Ball vs Frenkle Exercises on Static and Dynamic Balance in Ataxic CP
Several studies have highlighted the significant impact of cerebral palsy, a prevailing neurological and musculoskeletal developmental disorder among childhood disabilities worldwide. Within the spectrum of cerebral palsy, ataxic CP stands as the least prevalent type, accounting for 5 to 10% of all cases. Individuals diagnosed with ataxic CP encounter difficulties …
Intermittent Multifunctional Nutrition Tube in Cerebral Palsy and Dysphagia
This was a randomized controlled study including 80 infants with cerebral palsy and dysphagia. The Participants were evenly divided into the observation group (with intermittent oro-esophageal tube feeding, n=40) and the control group (with persistent nasogastric tube feeding , n=40). Nutritional status and physical development, condition of dysphagia, and pneumonia …
