Usability and Effectiveness of the ATLAS2030 Exoskeleton in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

The main objective of this study is to assess the usability and efficacy of receiving therapy with the peaditric exoskeleton ATLAS 2030in children with gait impairment due to a cerebral palsy condition. It will be valued the impact of rehabilitation with the exoskeleton at the physical level on parameters such as joint range, spasticity, as well as the impact in quality of life. It is also assessed the impact at the level of functionality of the participants, through the administration of different functional assessment scales.

Video Gaming for Home Rehabilitation for Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy in Costa Rica

Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

Economic and geographic barriers can limit access to rehabilitation therapies for children with cerebral palsy (CP). These barriers are magnified in developing countries like Costa Rica, where 43% of children with disabilities do not have access to basic health services. To address this accessibility gap, effective and engaging approaches are needed to motivate and support children in practicing motor therapies at home. Bootle Blast (BB) is a low-cost, movement-tracking video game that encourages upper limb (UL) exercises at home. BB is mixed-reality; using real-life objects (e.g., toys) in gameplay to target fine motor skills. It is customizable to diverse abilities and therapy goals. BB applies best practices in video game design, theories of motivation and motor learning, to optimize engagement and clinical effectiveness. This mixed-methods study will assess the feasibility of a family-centred BB home intervention among children with hemiplegic CP. The investigators will address four areas of feasibility to 1) Understand the demand for the BB intervention (i.e., expressed interest in the program), 2) Establish probable efficacy for clinical outcomes related to UL function, activity, and participation, 3) Evaluate implementation of the 8-week BB intervention and 4) Explore acceptability (e.g., participants' experiences). Fifteen children with a diagnosis of hemiplegic CP (7-17 yrs) and one of their primary caregivers will participate. This study consists of three phases, each one contributing to the development of the next one. In Phase 1 (demand), recruitment rates and percentage of children with appropriate in-home technology to play will be collected during screening. A pre-intervention interview will explore participants' expectations for the intervention. In Phase 2, study assessments will be performed via videoconference (probable efficacy). Measures will target UL activity and related participation. Children will play BB at home for 8 weeks. Computer-system logs and data from reported technical barriers will be collected (implementation). In Phase 3 parents and children will participate in a post-intervention interview to explore their experiences and perceived value of the BB program (acceptability). Worldwide, children face accessibility barriers to motor therapy services. This study will provide learnings on how therapy gaming interventions can/should be implemented to bridge accessibility gaps, engage children and improve access to care.

The Impact of Dosing Parameters on Motor Skill Acquisition and Retention in Bilateral Cerebral Palsy...

Cerebral Palsy

A recent systematic review found that therapeutic interventions that apply principles of motor learning with intense practice improve functional upper extremity movement in children with unilateral CP. Evidence of efficacy for any treatment approach aimed at improving motor function in bilateral CP (the most prevalent form) is lacking. Preliminary investigation suggests that intensive (90 hours) goal-directed, task-specific training provided in a 3-week day camp format can improve functional movement of both the upper (UE) and lower extremity (LE) and postural control in children with BCP. To date, HABIT-ILE has only been provided in a day camp setting over several weeks. Implementing the dosing schedule of this promising intensive approach in a hospital setting requires innovative resource allocation (space and staff); thus, examining alternative delivery models is imperative. The purpose of this study is to conduct a multi-center randomized control trial (RCT) to determine whether 90 hours of HABIT-ILE improves functional motor skills, activity and motivation in children with BCP when dosed in a camp format at 6-hours/day, 5 days/week for three weeks and 6-hours/day, one day/week for 15 weeks.

Rehabilitative Effect of the Use of a Gait Exoskeleton in Patients With Neuromuscular Disease or...

Neuromuscular DiseasesCerebral Palsy1 more

The purpose of this multicentric study is to assess the rehabilitative effect derived from the use of the ATLAS exoskeleton in children with neuromuscular diseases or cerebral palsy and with a level of less than 3 or less in the Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC) as a consequence of their disease, as well as the assessment of other physical, functional and quality of life parameters of interest. For this purpose, the exoskeleton will be used as a rehabilitation and walking assistance tool. Before starting the study programme and if deemed necessary, a preliminary phase consisting of 1 to 3 sessions will be carried out during which the patient will be shown the exoskeleton for the first time and it will be considered whether any improvements to the different parts of the device or the software are necessary to increase the ergonomics and comfort of the patient.
