Optimal Dose of Propofol for Induction of Deep Sedation for Brain MRI Scanning in Children With...

Cerebral Palsy

The children with CP has been shown different drug responses from the normal population of children and it may related with a various oral medications such as baclofen, tizanidine, diazepam, dantrolene, or anticonvulsant drugs. The aim of this study is to establish the optimal induction dose of propofol for deep sedation to start MRI for < 30 min in children with CP.

Constraint-Based Therapy to Improve Motor Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral PalsyMotor Deficits

Pediatric Constraint-Induced (CI) Movement therapy is a rehabilitation program designed to improve motor function in children with partial paralysis. Children with cerebral palsy may have one arm that has significantly greater function (good arm) than the other (bad arm). Restricting the use of the good arm may improve the use of the bad arm. In pediatric CI therapy, the good arm is put in a sling to force increased use of the bad arm. The bad arm is also trained each day for several weeks. This study will test the ability of pediatric CI therapy to improve motor function in children with cerebral palsy.

Robotic Rehabilitation and Brain Stimulation for Children With Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy

Hemiplegic Cerebral PalsyPerinatal Stroke

This study evaluates the use of robotic rehabilitation with and without transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve motor performance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Half of the participants will receive robotic rehabilitation and half will receive robotic rehabilitation with tDCS. We hypothesize that tDCS may augment the robotic therapy and show greater improvements than robotic therapy alone.

Applicability of Uroflowmetry in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral PalsyLower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Until now, the use of invasive urodynamics with use of catheters is still the gold standard for lower urinary tract evaluation in subjects with CP. This suggests a psychological and physical impact of invasive urodynamics in subjects with CP and further demonstrates the need to avoid standard use of invasive urodynamics in children and adults with CP. The current study will evaluate usefulness of uroflowmetry, correlation between uroflowmetry parameters and different lower urinary tract symptoms will be investigated. Secondly, results of uroflowmetry indicating possible vulnerability of the upper urinary tract will be defined.

Role of Rebound Therapy in the Rehabilitation of Children With Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders of movement and posture, causing several body impairments. CP is caused by non-progressive disturbance that occurred in the fetal or immature brain. CP symptoms include several motor disorders such as disturbances in sensation, coordination, cognition, communication and behavior in addition to disturbances in postural stability, balance and coordination. Balance is the ability to maintain the center of body mass over the base of support. CP causes balance impairment which results in decrease in the child's mobility functions and causing activity limitation and participations restrictions. Motor coordination is the registration of two or more things such as body movements , timing or sensory feedback into a harmonious relationship. CP causes disturbances in motor coordination such as difficulties in the routine gross movements as running and jumping, and disturbances in common fine movements like buttoning, clothing or brushing hair Rebound therapy is an exercise therapy which uses mini trampolines, rebounders , Springfree Trampoline and Swiss balls, to provide opportunity to perform recreational movements for individuals with different body structural and functional impairments.

The Feasibility of Telehealth HEP for CP (HEP: Home Exercise Program), (CP: Cerebral Palsy)

Cerebral PalsySpastic1 more

This study will provide exercise videos and live consultation sessions for adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. We will recruit 20 participants with 10-18 years old and will be randomized into an experimental or control group. The experimental group will receive exercises videos 2 times a week and one time live consultation session for 8 weeks. The Control group will receive exercise videos 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Both groups will use HIPAA compliant telehealth provider (Physitrack website/ app).

Photographic Posture Analysis in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Posture Disorders in ChildrenCerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy (CP), which is the largest group of patients among pediatric neuromuscular diseases, is a non-progressive permanent disorder that affects muscle control, movement, posture and balance. The purpose of this study; to evaluate the reliability of photographic posture analysis in the sitting position in children with CP and to examine the relationship between the results of photographic posture analysis with the motor performances and trunk control of children with CP.Children with CP were included in the study according to the following criteria; aged 5-12 years, diagnosed as spastic diplegia or hemiplegia , having a level of "I, II, III" according to GMFCS. Postural evaluation was done using the photographic method. Trunk control was evaluated with Trunk Control Measurement Scale,Motor performance of children was evaluated with Gross Motor Function Measure-88. ICC values for photographic posture analysis was found to be highly reliable.

Feedback in Augmented Reality to Control of Gait Parameters in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral PalsyGait Disorders3 more

Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain. The motor disorder of CP are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behaviour; by epilepsy, and by secondary musculoskeletal problems. Motor activities, especially walking, can be affected by many factors including sensory deficits, biomechanical and postural limitations, muscle weakness and spasticity.To provide feedback, during gait rehabilitation is a complementary approach to improve motor learning during the rehabilitation protocol. However, the feedback modalities are multiple and no study has compared these modalities. This study aims to test which feedback modalities could control the gait parameters (speed, cadence, step length) of the child with CP in real-time, through an augmented reality environment.

Motor and Cognitive Functions in Acquired and Developmental Brain Damaged Patients

Cerebral PalsyPerceptual Disorders1 more

Neurological pathologies cause important and permanent disabilities in every day life. These pathologies can follow stoke, affecting two people per one thousand each year or cerebral palsy, affecting two births per one thousand each year. To date, the diagnosis and the rehabilitation of motor and cognitive problems has been carried out separately by different domains. For example, physiotherapists have focused on motor problems and neuropsychologists have focused on cognitive functions. However, a number of studies have demonstrated a link between motor and cognitive abilities in adults and children. The present study has three main aims: (1) to better evaluate motor and cognitive problems in brain damaged patients (all ages), (2) to understand the link between motor and cognitive abilities in patients and healthy participants and, (3) to propose new types of therapies based on the link between motor and cognitive functions.
