Active clinical trials for "Paralysis"

Hippotherapy simulators imitate the passive movements of the horse, producing simple movements similar to those of the horse. Hippotherapy simulators are intended to improve sitting balance, postural control and trunk balance. The aim of this study was to research the therapeutic effects of hippotherapy simulator on sitting balance, trunk control and upper extremity skills in individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP).

To compare the effects of core strengthening and PNF on standing balance and plantar pressure in chronic stroke patients

The aim of our study is to examine the effect of using kinesiology tape and using it for 8 weeks on Q angle and pes planus on children with cerebral palsy.

This study aims to describe the comparative effects of dynamic surface training and trunk targeted training in order to ensure which method is best in improving gross motor function , balance and trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy . this will be randomized control study which includes participants with age 5 to 10 years

The development of efficient and independent walking is an important therapeutic goal for many children with cerebral palsy (CP). Consequently, there has been growing interest in determining the effects of treadmill training programs for these children. This study will help to investigates the effect of treadmill training with visual feedback and rhythmic auditory cue (VF+RAC) for walking symmetry and balance ability. Participants will be chosen from sehat medical complex and they will be randomly allocate to either the VF+RAC or the Control group. The VF+RAC group will receive treadmill training with VF and RAC, and the Control group will undergo treadmill training without any visual and auditory stimulation. VF+RAC and Control groups will be trained five times per week for eight weeks. After eight weeks of training the gait pattern and balance will be evaluated by the gait parameters, 6min Walk test, Pediatric Balance Scale and Berg balance scale.

Various studies have worked on the sitting balance of cerebral palsy (CP) with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I-III with a sample greater than 30, there is no data available to compare the effect of a balance board and perceptual motor therapy to improve sitting in GMFCS level IV and V with a sample greater than 30. This study will add the authenticity to literature with a large sample size and affect the severity of the condition.

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of gastrointestinal stimulation with a pacemaker on the length of postoperative bowel paralysis in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery due to metastasizing colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei. The main question it aims to answer is if the length of postoperative ileus is reduced when the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated with a pacemaker. All participants will undergo cytoreductive surgery +/- heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (the standard treatment for colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis or pseudomyxoma peritonei). After surgery, but before the abdomen is closed a pace lead will be attached to the stomach, exteriorized trough the abdominal wall and connected to an external pacemaker. The pacemaker is either turned on (experimental group) or turned off (control group). Furthermore, the patients are asked to ingest a SmartPill capsule two hours prior to surgery. This will transmit information on gastrointestinal transit times and motility. After surgery, patients will be asked to fill out a diary on bowel movements once a day.

This study aims to determine the effects of focal muscle vibration on bio-psychosocial outcomes in subjects with cerebral palsy. Mixed methods will be used and the study will be conducted in 2 phases; 1st phase is determining the effects of intervention, whereas second step is prediction of outcomes. A qualitative gait analysis will also be done.

The hand motor functions are very important in the daily life activities, educational, and social participation of children. Losing The hand motor functions limit these activities and participation. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) or virtual reality (VR) therapy has often been preferred to improve the hand's motor functions.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an isokinetic strength training of knee flexor and extensor muscles on walking performance in hemiparetic patients with knee extension thrust.
