Efficacy of INTORUS as a Therapeutic Tool in Motor Intervention in Patients at Aspace Centres in...

Cerebral PalsyMotor Disorders1 more

The goal of this Clinical Trial is to verify the effectiveness of the use of the Intorus device in the motor intervention in patients with cerebral palsy and related syndromes. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the use of the Intorus tool manage to improve the mobility of upper limbs (MMSS) in patients with infantile cerebral palsy to increase their performance in activities of daily living? A total of approximately 50 users will participate in the study. Participants will be divided into two groups randomly. The control group will receive an intervention treatment at the motor level in the traditional way, following the protocols established in the center, and the intervention group will receive an intervention treatment at the motor level with the INTORUS device. Randomization will be carried out using the Oxford Minimization and Randomization software.

Effect of Hydrotherapy Versus Aerobic Exercise on Pulmonary Function on Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsied...

To Compare the Effectiveness of Hydrotherapy Versus Aerobic Exercise on Pulmonary Function in Hemiplegic Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood. Respiratory muscle weakness and a low upper to lower chest diameter ratio are common respiratory dysfunction manifestations in those children which negatively affect their quality of life..

Short-Burst Interval Treadmill Training Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

Ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP) walk predominately in low intensity stride rates with little variability, thus limiting their walking activity and ability to participate in daily life. In contrast, typically developing (TD) children engage in short bursts of intense walking activity interspersed with varying intervals of low intensity walking within daily life. In order to optimize motor learning, active participation, task-specific training and multiple repetitions or massed practice is required to learn new motor skills. Short bursts of vigorous intensity locomotor treadmill training (SBLTT) alternating with low/moderate intensity was specifically designed to mimic activity patterns of TD children in a massed practice format. Pilot data suggests that SBLTT is feasible and enhances walking capacity and performance in daily life for children with CP. This project will examine the effect of SBLTT versus an equivalent dosage of traditional locomotor treadmill training (TLTT) on the primary outcomes of walking capacity and performance in children with CP and whether the effects of SBLTT on walking capacity and performance are mediated by improvements in in muscle power generation. The scientific premise is that SBLTT, that approximates the walking intensity patterns of typically developing (TD) children through a home-based massed practice protocol, will be more effective than TLTT in improving walking capacity and performance. We hypothesize that SBLTT strategies for children with CP modeled on walking patterns of TD children, will be positively mediated by muscle power generation and subsequently improve walking capacity and community walking performance and mobility. Specific aims. Aim #1. Determine the immediate and retention effects of short-burst interval LTT (SBLTT) on walking capacity in ambulatory children with CP. Aim #2. Examine the effects of treatment on community-based walking activity performance and mobility. Aim #3. Explore whether the effects of SBLTT on walking capacity and performance are mediated by muscle power generation. The proposed research will be the first step in a continuum of research that is expected to direct locomotor training protocols and rehab strategies across pediatric disabilities and positively effecting the community walking performance and mobility for children with CP.

Treatment of Children With Cerebral Palsy With Autologous Umbilical Cord Blood, a Pilot Study

Cerebral Palsy

This study is a phase II, prospective, double blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy of autologous umbilical cord blood infusion. The study population will consist of 72 children ages 2 months to 12 years with cerebral palsy. The population will be randomly assigned to 2 groups, 36 children in each group. The study group be treated by cord blood in the beginning of the study and the control group by placebo product. The study population will be stratified to reduce variance 3 groups by age: 2-12 months / 1-6 years / 6-12 years The study will consist of 4 stages Stage 1: initial assessment by physiotherapist and occupational therapist / treatment by cord blood or placebo / blood work before and after treatment Stage 2: at stage 1 + 3 months assessment by physiotherapist and occupational therapist Stage 3: at stage 1 + 6 months assessment by physiotherapist and occupational therapist / cross-over treatment by cord blood or placebo / blood work before and after treatment Stage 4: at stage 1 + 12 months assessment by physiotherapist and occupational therapist The primary outcome is improvement motor skills six months after treatment at stage 3

Use of Joystick-operated Ride-on-toys to Improve Affected Arm Use and Function in Children With...

Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy

This research is being done to explore if modified, commercially available, joystick-operated, ride-on-cars can be used to promote bilateral arm function in children with hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy (CP). Specifically, the study evaluates the effects of a 6-week, home-based, child-friendly, innovative program that uses modified, commercially available, joystick-operated, powered ride-on-toys to promote spontaneous affected arm use and function in children with hemiplegic CP.
