Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Using Robot and Botulinum Toxin
StrokeSpasticityConcomitant use of botulinum toxin and robot would make better results regarding upper extremity function compared to robot, botulinum toxin, or no intervention.
Potential Benefits of Home Based Exercise Programs in the Management of Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral PalsySpastic1 moreThe study will be conducted to see the potential benefits of home based exercise program comprising routine physical therapy and traditional massage in the management of spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It will be a randomized controlled trial having two groups, RPT group and Massage group. Both groups will be provided with routine physical therapy treatment comprising stretching of spastic muscles, strengthening of weak muscles, positioning and posturing strategies. Massage group will also receive traditional massage in addition to routine physical therapy. Parents/Caregivers will be trained to perform routine physical therapy and traditional massage at home. Data will collected using a structured questionnaire, Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM),Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and CP Child's Caregiver Priorities & Child Health Index of Life with Disabilities at baseline, after 6th and 12th weeks of intervention.

The Feasibility of Telehealth HEP for CP (HEP: Home Exercise Program), (CP: Cerebral Palsy)
Cerebral PalsySpastic1 moreThis 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).
Effects of Baclofen on Presynaptic Inhibition in Humans
SpasticityMuscle1 moreThis study examines the role of the GABA-B receptor in long-lasting presynaptic inhibition of primary afferents in human participants. Participants will come in for two visits, receiving baclofen (a GABA-B receptor agonist) on one visit and a placebo during the other. Electro-physiological measures will be use during both visit to asses presynaptic inhibition.

SpasticityMultiple SclerosisThe purpose of this study is to determine the effective dose range and to demonstrate a non-effective dose range of Sativex compared with placebo in relieving symptoms of spasticity due to multiple sclerosis.
Attainment of Person-centred Goals After Botulinum Toxin Treatment for Upper Limb Spasticity in...
Upper Limb SpasticityThe primary purpose for this study is to understand the effect of botulinum toxin as a treatment integrated in the management of spasticity (stiffness) in the arm and/or hand, arising from any neurological condition. The study will look at the types of goals that people choose for treatment, and the extent to which these are achieved in different individuals.
Functional Follow-up After Single Event Multilevel Surgery in Children Spastic Diplegic Cerebral...
Cerebral PalsyPurpose: The aim of this study is to assess the short- and midterm evolution of self-care and functional mobility after multilevel surgery in children and adolescents with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy and to identify which factors could have an impact on these outcomes. Methods: Thirty-four participants were included. All participants will be evaluated before surgery, at 9 weeks, 6,12,18, 24, 36 and 60 months. Self-care was assessed with the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-NL (PEDI-NL). The Mobility Questionnaire47 (MobQues47) and Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) were used to measure functional mobility. Interactions between CP, personal and environmental characteristics and evolution in time were assessed.
