Menstrual Health and Genital Hygiene Status in Cerebral Palsy

Menstrual ProblemCerebral Palsy1 more

There is little information about the menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors of young women with CP. The most important reason for this is that women with CP did not meet the inclusion criteria and were excluded from the study. This may lead to a knowledge gap that limits the design of approaches that can help women and families with CP. Therefore, this study was planned to determine menstrual health and genital hygiene behaviors in women with CP.

MRI-based Biomarkers for Predicting Punctate White Matter Lesions in Neonates

Brain DiseasesAmblyopia3 more

As a common white matter (WM) disease in preterm neonates, punctate white matter lesion (PWML) frequently leads to the abnormalities of brain development (e.g. the motor, visual and auditory disorders), even to cerebral palsy (CP) and amblyopia during childhood. However, it is lack of certain methods in identifying the prognosis of PWML. Through using various advanced MRI techniques, neuro-behavioral and visual assessments, a multicenter longitudinal study would be conducted to follow-up the PWML neonates with varying spatial-position and degree lesions. Through tracking the variations in WM microstructures from neonate period to childhood (2 years old and 3 years old), this study aims to explore (1) the potential relations between varying PWMLs and motor and visual disorders (2) the relations between WM MRI-metrics and neurodevelopmental assessment results, and thus determine the early biomarkers to identify CP and amblyopia.

Hip Reconstruction in Cerebral Palsy With Pelvic Osteotomy

Cerebral Palsy

Prospective study enrolling patients with cerebral palsy and with subluxation of the hips > 40% and acetabular dysplasia. The patients will be stratified according the degree of subluxation and age. The treatment protocol is composed by femur variation osteotomy and periacetabular osteotomy. Patients will be divided in two groups according the type of bone graft used at periacetabular osteotomy (autologous or ceramic).

The Influence of Muscle Contraction on the Cardiac Autonomic System

Cerebral Palsy

Population: 16 children with cerebral palsy, GMFCS 1-3.16 children typically developed, matched for age. All children aged 6-12 yrs who understand simple commands. Tools: Polar monitor to record heart rate, attached to chest, in use throughout testing Dynamometer- for assessing muscle strength. Weights Method: Each child will be tested once. Both tools will be demonstrated and tried out before actual testing. With Polar watch attached: 5 min sitting at rest, knee muscle strength assessment with the dynamometer, 15 minutes rest Isometric and isotonic knee muscle contraction at 30% of childs' maximal strength as has assessed by the dynamometer. The child will asked to perform each for 3 minutes, with 5 minutes rest in-between All will be perform in both legs.

Multi-modal Neuroimaging in Children With Cerebral Palsy or Brachial Plexus Birth Palsy

Cerebral PalsyBrachial Plexus; Injury1 more

The main goal of this study is to identify abnormal functional and anatomical brain reorganization associated with hand, foot, and shoulder function in children (0-18 years old) with cerebral palsy (CP) due to periventricular white matter injury (PV-WMI) or brachial plexus birth palsy (BPBP) using a multi-modal neuroimaging approach.

Cerebral Palsy

Increasing the number of Turkish version of the questionnaire evaluating hand use, adding the scales that evaluate the selective movements of the upper limb to the evaluations will increase the variety of evaluation methods. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Caregiver Functional Use Survey (CFUS)

PerLE (Peroneus Longus Evaluation): A Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Injection of Dysport in Peroneus...

Equinus Foot Deformity in Children With Cerebral Palsy

A recent publication (Boulay et al. 2012) highlighted the role of the peroneus longus (PL) muscle in equinus foot deformity in children with hemiplegia. BoNT (Dysport) injections into this muscle have not yet been described in the literature. Based on the results of a previous study, the hypothesis is: this muscle may thus constitute a new therapeutic target for botulinum toxin injections in the early management of spastic equinus in children aged 2 years or older, before the onset of fixed neuro-orthopedic deformity and the midfoot break. The aim of this retrospective study is to describe in intramuscular BoNT (Dysport) injections into PL based on the results obtained in a cohort of children (approximately 30 subjects) with cerebral palsy (hemiplegia or diplegia) and which have been treated in the service since 2007 until July 2012. The investigators results are based on clinical, radiological and video evaluations. For this study, data will be collected in medical folder of each children belonging to this cohort. All children (approximately 30 subjects) with cerebral palsy (hemiplegia or diplegia) which have been treated by BoNT (Dysport) intramuscular injections into PL in the service between 2007 and July 2012 will be screened. Subjects will be selected according to the following defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data will be collected retrospectively (using a specific case report form designed for the study) in medical folder of each included subject for all visit of follow-up after BoNT (Dysport) injection into PL (since the first BoNT (Dysport) injection up to 2012). Then, data will be entered in a database. After that, they will be analysed .
