Static and Dynamic Postural Stability in Cerebral Palsy Children (Dual-Task)
CP (Cerebral Palsy), Diplegia, Hemiplegia
About this trial
This is an interventional supportive care trial for CP (Cerebral Palsy) focused on measuring Locomotion, cerebral palsy, Postural; Defect
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- CP children with postural and/or motor deficits due to early cerebral deficits (from conception to 2 years of age according to G. Tardieu) non hereditary and non evolutionary.
- Aged 7 to 12 years because before 7 years of age the range and speed of postural control exhibit a great variability and after 12, our eligibility criteria are not standardized
- presenting a clinical CP diplegia or hemiplegia (cf. EMGF),
- able to stand upright without assistance for at least (real recording time of 30 sec during the experiment) on a force platform (L 50 cm x l 50 cm x h 4,4 cm) and to walk straight ahead on a walking track (518 cm long x 90 cm wide and 0,5 cm thin) without assistance,
- without severe visual or hearing deficit (>0,3 for the worse eye without correction or hearing loss <70db for the worse ear without correction) as indicated in the personal medical report
- without hyperactivity trouble (Conners' questionnaires non significant <70), without major attentional deficits (images matching test), without denomination troubles (ELOLA test), able to perform dual tasks (Tea-ch test).
Exclusion Criteria:
- parents' or children' informed consent rejected,
- Participation to another biomedical experiment during this study,
- Children unable to control upright posture without assistance for at least 45 sec on a force platform (L 50 cm x l 50 cm x h 4.4 cm) or unable to walk without assistance
- Absence of social security coverage.
