Active clinical trials for "Cerebral Palsy"

Using challenging surfaces of gait training, which require constant adjustments of the body's movement patterns to maintain stability and provide different sensory and proprioceptive inputs to mimic real life situation is appropriate for children with CP. So, the purpose of the current study is to investigate the influence of surface characteristics of gait training on gait kinematics and walking capacity in children with diplegic CP.

The goal of this study is to learn about eye gaze technology's use as an assessment and intervention of visual skills and the impact on occupational performance in children with cortical/cerebral visual impairment. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Does the use of eye gaze technology with graded visual activities improve visual abilities: Does an improvement in visual abilities improve occupational performance? - What are the factors that correlate with improved visual abilities? Participants will complete the Pre-test with Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement, Cortical Visual Impairment Range, Sensory Profile and Sensory Processing Checklist for Children with Visual Impairment. Then will participate in eye gaze technology activities using eye gaze software with graded visual games for 20 minutes per day for 4 weeks. Observations of positioning, head/eye position, sensory processing, and types of eye gaze activities used during the session. Pre test, daily and post test percentage scores on the eye gaze activities will be recorded. Then the child will complete post testing with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measurement and Cortical Visual Impairment Range.

Ataxic CP is one type of cerebral palsy. children with ataxic cerebral palsy have trouble with balance and coordination. They may walk with their legs farther apart than other kids and have a hard time with activities that use small hand movements, like writing. Some also have trouble with depth perception This means being able to accurately judge how close or far away something is

To evaluate the single-dose pharmacokinetics of atropine gel formulation after topical administration in the oral cavity of healthy adults.

There are 3 phase of the study. This registration is phase 2.2. This registration will conduct a randomized controlled trial study in the cerebral palsy children. Due to the limitation of period of time of grant, we changed the study type into pilot-randomization. Our new method of study will collect all of our study which previously separated into pilot and randomized controlled trial in just only one study "pilot-randomization".

In the context of cerebral palsy, rehabilitation post Single-Event Multi-Level Surgery (SEMLS) is a long process. One year after surgery and rehabilitation, the functional benefits are usually less improved than the gait pattern. This may be caused by a lack of intensity in the final rehabilitation steps. Thus we created an intensive gait training rehabilitation protocole. This protocole associates 4 weeks of intensive rehabilitation in a healthcare center followed by 2 weeks of intensive rehabilitation at home. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of this protocol to improve walking speed and endurance, gross motor function et muscular strength.

Using a randomized controlled trial design, the possible changes induced by the intensive treatment programme "Hand-arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE)" in functional, everyday life activities and neuroplastic assessment will be studied in infants and toddlers with cerebral palsy.

The objective of this project is to characterize the evolution of locomotor learning over the first 18 months of life in infants at high risk for cerebral palsy (CP). To characterize how locomotor skill is learned (or not learned) during this critical period, the investigators will combine established protocols using robust, unbiased robotic and sensor technology to longitudinally study infant movement across three consecutive stages during the development of impaired human motor control - early spontaneous movement, prone locomotion (crawling), and upright locomotion (walking).

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether non-invasive stimulation over the spinal cord at the neck and/or lower back can improve walking function for people with neurologic conditions. Spinal stimulation has been used extensively for individuals with spinal cord injury, and has demonstrated improvements in function. This study will extend this work to other neurologic conditions, such as cerebral palsy and stroke, that also demonstrate similar impairments as spinal cord injury. The primary aims of this study are to: Aim 1: Evaluate impact of spinal stimulation on spasticity and locomotor function. Aim 2: Investigate participant perceptions of spinal stimulation. The investigators will be using a cross-over design study to compare intensive training only to intensive training combined with spinal stimulation. After an initial baseline period of up to 4 weeks (Phase I). Participants will have their first intervention phase of the study (Phase II). This will involve either intensive training only (Condition A) or intensive training combined with spinal stimulation (Condition B). This will be followed by a washout period with no intervention (Phase III) and then the second intervention phase (Phase IV). The second intervention phase will involve either Condition A or Condition B, whichever the participants did not received during Phase II. Phases II-IV will each last up to 8 weeks. After the intervention period is complete, the participant will be asked to come for follow-up visits up to 3 months after the intervention phases are completed (Phase V).
