Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Palsy"

Children with cerebral palsy are at an increased risk of having their hips move partially or completely out of joint. This can cause pain and restrict movement at the hip, making sitting in a wheelchair uncomfortable and make personal care difficult. This condition may be treated with surgery. Surgeons use x-rays taken before and after the surgery to determine whether or not the surgery has been successful. However, it is also important to know whether the surgery has improved life from the child or the caregiver's point of view. The investigators will also evaluate if waiting for surgery affects the child. This information will be added to results from a physical exam and an evaluation of the child's x-rays for a more complete picture of how this surgery impacts the lives of our patients. It is predicted that that the health-related quality of life of children with cerebral palsy will improve following surgery.

The primary goal of this study is to establish and evaluate an image-based biomarker for the impaired motor control and sensory information processing present in Cerebral palsy (CP) patients

The aim of the study was to determine upper extremity selective motor control (SMC) in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy (CP). It was also aimed to determine the relationship between upper extremity SMC and upper extremity functions in unilateral CP.

The purpose of this study is to: 1) secure basic data of patients with cerebral palsy, 2) seek ways to simplify the data for clinical application, 3) progress of hip dislocation, presence or absence of hip surgery, and The purpose of this study is to compare differences in body development according to severity and nutritional methods.

A Retrospective study In Children who have switched to Isosource Junior Mix formula (RICIMIX study) will review paediatric children > 12 months of age who require Isosource Junior Mix as an enteral tube feeding formula and have consumed the formula for at least 1 month. The purpose of this study is to understand If there has been an improvement in outcomes/ experiences The current usage of ISJMIX formula in children who require blended diets Improved feeding intolerances Improved patient outcomes/ experiences

In recent years Ferrari et al. proposed a new classification of manipulation in children with spastic hemiplegia which describes five different classes by analyzing and integrating the kinematic patterns of the hand and its functional use. The investigators believe that this classification provides the clinician with clinically meaningful information, by identifying the useful strategies spontaneously adopted by the children during manipulation tasks. The aim of this study is to determine the criterion validity of the new classification of the pattern of manipulation in children with spastic hemiplegia by correlating hand manipulation classes with both the scores of the Assisting Hand Assessment and the scores of the Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function.

The purpose of this study is to correlate the alimentary consistencies and deglutition disorders in children with cerebral palsy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change in muscle activity during gait with the use of ankle foot orthoses in children diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

A handheld surface electromyography device will be tested by clinicians on children with limb hypertonia, and inter-rater reliability will be assessed with and without the device.

The App-eMot-Quali project proposed here is the first phase in the implementation of a care pathway supported by a digital tool. It consists of a qualitative study allowing individual interviews to be conducted with parents of infants at high risk of cerebral palsy and health professionals in order to identify and precisely describe the needs and difficulties present during the child's rehabilitative care during the first months of life.
