Center of mass perturbation as a normalizable estimate of dynamic balance in gait: an application comparing typically developing children with spastic cerebral palsy [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 95, 062128 (2017), 2017 It is well recognized that the relative position of the center of mass (pCOM) with respect to the base of support (BOS) is a determining factor in the maintenance of balance. However, during gait the dynamic nature of the BOS is not well defined and in most studies is completely ignored.

Interpreting Deep Learning based Cerebral Palsy Prediction with Channel Attention [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Early prediction of cerebral palsy is essential as it leads to early treatment and monitoring. Deep learning has shown promising results in biomedical engineering thanks to its capacity of modelling complicated data with its non-linear architecture. However, due to their complex structure, deep learning models are generally not interpretable by humans,

Indigenous health equity in health register ascertainment and data quality: a narrative review
International Journal for Equity in Health, 2022 Background Health registers play an important role in monitoring distribution of disease and quality of care; however, benefit is limited if ascertainment (i.e., the process of finding and recruiting people on to a register) and data quality (i.e., the ...

Personalizing User Engagement Dynamics in a Non-Verbal Communication Game for Cerebral Palsy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) can have involuntary upper limb movements as a consequence of the symptoms that characterize their motor disability, leading to difficulties in communicating with caretakers and peers. We describe how a socially assistive robot may help individuals with CP to practice non-verbal communicative gestures using ...

The Case for Musical Instrument Training in Cerebral Palsy for Neurorehabilitation
Neural Plasticity, 2016 Recent imaging studies in cerebral palsy (CP) have described several brain structural changes, functional alterations, and neuroplastic processes that take place after brain injury during early development.

Cerebral Palsy Prediction with Frequency Attention Informed Graph Convolutional Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Early diagnosis and intervention are clinically considered the paramount part of treating cerebral palsy (CP), so it is essential to design an efficient and interpretable automatic prediction system for CP. We highlight a significant difference between CP infants' frequency of human movement and that of the healthy group, which improves prediction ...
