Study for the Quantification in Ecological Conditions of Sensorimotor and Dysexecutive Disorders...

Dysexecutive Syndrome

Executive functions are defined as the mental functions necessary for an individual to adapt to a complex or new environment that requires freedom from automatic and routine behavior. Deficits in executive functions are described under the term "dysexecutive syndrome", and call into question the quality of social and professional life as well as the autonomy of patients. The usual methods of identifying dysexecutive syndrome are based essentially on batteries of neuropsychological tests known as "paper and pencil". However, these tests may lack sensitivity, in that they assess the patient in a very structured setting, very different from real life conditions, which are full of distractions and choices to be made. Evaluations on real tasks are more rarely used but have the advantage of observing the difficulties encountered by a patient in everyday life. Two tests of this type have been set up in the Neurology Department of the Hôpital d'Instruction des Armées Percy, and are integrated into the routine care of patients with a dysexecutive syndrome. For this purpose, a room in the department has been set up as a studio in order to reproduce as much as possible an everyday life environment, in which executive functions, fine motor skills, neurovegetative functions, emotional state, posture, locomotor skills and visual information capture can be measured ecologically.

Turkish Validity and Reliability of the Sitting Assessment Scale in Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

The Sitting Assessment Scale is a valid and reliable scale that evaluates sitting balance in Cerebral Palsy (CP). The validity and reliability study of the scale has been done, but it has not been adapted to Turkish language. The aim of this study is to adapt the Sitting Evaluation Scale, which evaluates sitting balance in Cerebral Palsy, into Turkish and to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale.

Validity and Reliability of the WAL-K Test

Cerebral PalsyGait Disorders in Children

Adapting the environment in which a child with Cerebral Palsy lives or adapting himself according to the environment facilitates independence in daily life activities. There is a need for practical performance tests to evaluate the gait adaptation of children with cerebral palsy in the clinic. However, no study has been found to evaluate gait adaptation in children with cerebral palsy. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the WALK test, which was previously developed for children with special learning disabilities, in individuals with cerebral palsy.

Swiss Cerebral Palsy Registry

Cerebral Palsy

The Swiss-CP-Reg is a national patient registry that collects information on diagnosis, symptoms, treatment and follow-up of patients with cerebral palsy (CP) in Switzerland. It was first implemented in 2017 in the paediatric clinics in Basel, Bellinzona, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, St. Gallen and Zurich. It will be extended to all Swiss clinics and medical practices and adults will be invited to join the register in the coming years. The registry provides data for national and international monitoring and research. It supports research on CP in Switzerland and the exchange of knowledge between clinicians, researchers and therapists, with the goal to improve the treatment of children and adults with CP and optimizing their health and quality of life.

Study of Parental Stress and Care Consumption Until 24 Months Corrected Age of Infants at a High...

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of motor disability in children, affecting 125,000 people in France and with 1800 new cases per year. Prematurity remains a major risk factor, although children born at term represent 52% of children with cerebral palsy in France. Recent international and national (Haute Autorité de Santé, Troubles du neurodéveloppement - Repérage et orientation des enfants à risque, February 2020) recommendations emphasize the importance of continuous, early, and systematic management of infants at risk of cerebral palsy before 6 months of corrected age (CA), which is beneficial on the motor, cognitive, and social development of these children into preschool age. The principles of early identification and therapeutic intervention, which are at the core of multi-professional care, are becoming better known. The priorities of this care are: the identification of high-risk infants, the continuity of follow-up from the neonatal period and after the return home in order to detect motor developmental disorders as early as possible, with a the global approach centered on the family. From the neonatal period, parents have traumatic experiences and are subjected to sources of stress. A framework of trust must be established during hospitalization, and preventive, multidisciplinary post-hospitalization follow-up is necessary. Informing families about the risks of motor developmental disorders that may affect their child and about the necessary follow-up in the first months is essential to obtain their adherence to an early course of action. This should take place even before parents have noticed abnormalities, and without waiting for a proven disability. However, it is necessary to support parents in these difficult situations by trying to reduce stress and to preserve the role of the parent. Finally, the ESPaCe survey reveals several of the challenges faced by parents of children with CP: difficulty in finding trained therapists, low frequency of sessions, heterogeneity of rehabilitation techniques, and 75% of parents felt excluded from care and wish to be more involved. Fondation Motrice has therefore suggested developing recommendations for good clinical practice based on scientific evidence to address these difficulties. In this context, the physiotherapists of the CHU Dijon Bourgogne have implemented the recommended early identification tools in the traditional perinatal follow-up pathway by collaborating with the neonatologists and rehabilitation physicians of the CHU Dijon Bourgogne. After the child goes home from the hospital, professionals can ensure continuity and adapt developmental support care by continuing to accompany the families. The follow-up pathway currently offered to these high-risk children includes a motor assessment at 4, 9 and 24 months of corrected age, with an additional consultation at 18 months of corrected age depending on the child's neurodevelopment. However, the psychological impact of this type of pathway on the parents, their satisfaction and their level of adherence to this care pathway are currently unknown. Therefore, the objective of the DéStreSs study is to describe the level of parental stress and whether is varies over time, the consumption of care, parent satisfaction, and adherence to the follow-up program currently offered at the Dijon Bourgogne University Hospital.

Early Detection & Intervention of Cerebral Palsy in Ireland

Cerebral PalsyNeurodevelopmental Disorders

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common lifelong physical disability. It is defined as a non-progressive disorder of movement originating from neural lesions in the perinatal period, and is associated with a wide range of common comorbidities in many individuals. These include problems speaking, hearing, seeing, thinking, feeding and controlling their bladder. People with CP often have additional challenges such as behavioural and emotional issues, pain, and poor sleep. Many of these challenges respond well to intervention in early childhood, as brain plasticity is at its greatest in the first 2 years of life. However, in most clinical settings, the age for diagnosis of CP is between 24 to 29 months, after this window of neurodevelopmental opportunity. This project will aim to improve the Early Detection of Cerebral Palsy in Ireland. This will be achieved by implementing an evidence-based approach to follow-up of High risk infants.

SmarToyGym: Smart Detection of Atypical Toy-oriented Actions in At-risk Infants

Cerebral PalsyDevelopmental Delay4 more

The study aims to develop a SmarToyGym where sensitized, wireless toys are strategically hung and placed within reach of infants to elicit toy-oriented body and arm/hand movements. Each toy will be equipped with sensors capable of measuring the infant's grasping actions such as squeezing, pinching, tilting, etc. A low-cost 3D motion capture system will be used to collect video data and the infants' reaching and body kinematics in response to the toys. A pressure mat will be used to measure postural changes to detect weight shifts, rolling, crawling and other movements away from the initial posture. By capitalizing on these wireless and low-cost technologies, it will permit the regular and non-invasive monitoring of infants, which can lead to detailed, non-obtrusive, quantitative evaluation of motor development. In this vein, the investigators also aim to conduct proof-of-concept testing of the SmarToyGym with atypical and typical developing infants. The investigators will include infants' ages 3 to 11 months who are categorized as high-risk or low-risk using the Bayley Infant Neurodevelopmental Screener.
