To Determine Efficacy of the HeadpodCerebral Palsy

Inclusion Criteria: children ages 2 to 14 years with poor head control and non progressive diagnoses. Exclusion criteria: significant change of status i.e. prolonged hospitalization, surgery; inability to tolerate using Headpod. Requires use of Headpod 3x per day for minimum of 15 minutes each time over a 6 month period. Log must be kept documenting usage of the Headpod. Video will be taken to document changes.

Physical Therapy After Anti-spastic Treatment in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

It is the primary purpose of this pilot study to investigate if physical therapy with strength training is better at improving muscle and gait function after anti-spastic treatment with Botulinum toxin compared to physical therapy without strength training in children with cerebral palsy. The investigators hypothesize that it is.

The Influence of MCIMT (Modified Constrained Induced Movement Therapy), Bilateral Intensive Treatment,...

Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

The purpose of this pilot study was to compare unimanual training (CIMT) and bimanual training (HABIT) protocols aimed to improve ability of the involved hand in children with hemiplegia. Both protocols were conducted in an educational setting for 2 hours a day for 2 months, one-hour group session and one-hour individual therapy session conducted by occupational therapists or assistants. The children in the CIMT group practiced various tasks using their involved hand with the contralateral hand constrained with a mitt. The children at the HABIT group practiced various bimanual tasks without constraint. Twelve children (2 - 6.5 yrs.) participated in this study. The inclusion criterion included minimal extension movement of the involved wrist, and for the CIMT group, the ability to of tolerates the mitt. The children were matched in relation to cognitive level and MACS score and randomly divided into the two intervention groups. Each child's assessment included the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test (QUEST), the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), and the Blocks and Box for children above age 5 yrs old. Range of motion (ROM) was assessed using an electronic gonimeter, and muscle tone was recorded using surface EMG and the Tardiue scale. The Child Health Questioner (CHQ) was completed by the parents before, and 6 months after, the intervention. Children were assessed starting two month before, and two month after, the intervention.

Pharmacokinetics of Enteral Omeprazole Suspension in Patients With Cerebral Palsy and Mental Retardation...

Gastreoesophageal Reflux Disease

Gastroesophageal reflux disease and reflux-esophagitis are a major chronic problem in most children with cerebral palsy and mental retardation. Oral administration of enteric-coated formulations of the acid-labile proton pump inhibitor omeprazole is often problematic in these patients who may be suffering from swallowing disorders. A suspension of omeprazole in a sodium bicarbonate solution is often used for administration via the gastrostomy tube. This trial aims to compare the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole administered through the gastrostomy tube as a suspension in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy and mental retardation versus the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole administered as a multi-unit-pellet system (MUPS®). The crossover study will consist of 2 consecutive treatment periods of 14 days.

Effect of Antigravity Shoes on Improving the Quality of Gait in Children With Spastic Diplegia

Cerebral Palsy

Improving the quality of gait in the diplegic children is a major concern in the rehabilitation program. Thirty children with spastic diplegia were distributed equally into 2 groups, group A (control) and group B (study). Group A had received the traditional physical therapy program for 30 minutes and 30 minutes traditional gait training, while group B had received 30 minutes gait training with antigravity shoes in addition to the traditional exercise program for 30 minutes, percentage of stance and swing phase of gait were measured by 2 D gait analysis for children of both groups pre and after 3 successive months of treatment program, also function level of gait were assessed pre and post treatment by GMFCS .

Walking Inclined Plane

Cerebral PalsySpastic Diplegia

The adaptations in kinematics and muscle activity, investigated by 3D gait analysis and dynamic electromyography recordings, will be studied in children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy during level walking, and before and after a training on a treadmill with a sloped surface (7°). Data will be compared with those obtained in a sample of typically developing (TD) children (controls)
