Dependence of Gait Deviation on Weight-Bearing Asymmetry and Postural Instability in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Postural control deficits have been suggested to be a major component of gait disorders in children with cerebral palsy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between postural stability and treadmill walking, in children with ...

Maternal thyroid disorder in pregnancy and risk of cerebral palsy in the child: a population-based cohort study

BMC Pediatrics, 2018
Background Cerebral palsy is the most frequent motor disability in childhood, but little is known about its etiology. It has been suggested that cerebral palsy risk may be increased by prenatal thyroid hormone disturbances.

PROPENSIX: pressure garment therapy using compressive dynamic Lycra® sleeve to improve bi-manual performance in unilateral cerebral palsy: a multicenter randomized controlled trial protocol

Trials, 2022
Background Upper limb impairment affects activity and participation in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). Pressure garment therapy (PGT) using compressive dynamic Lycra® garments is an innovative intervention proposed for the management of ...

Restricted arm swing affects gait stability and increased walking speed alters trunk movements in children with cerebral palsy

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Observational research suggests that in children with cerebral palsy, the altered arm swing is linked to instability during walking. Therefore, the current study investigates whether children with cerebral palsy use their arms more than typically ...

Sensory systems processing in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a pilot study

Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy, 2021
Background The study of the sensory aspect alongside the motor aspect in children with spastic cerebral palsy is critical. Knowledge may help improve intervention, children’s quality of life, activity, and participation.

Sensory-motor network functional connectivity in children with unilateral cerebral palsy secondary to perinatal stroke

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Background: Perinatal stroke is the most common cause of unilateral cerebral palsy. Mechanisms of post-stroke developmental plasticity in children are poorly understood. To better understand the relationship between functional connectivity and disability,

Functional Classification of Children with Cerebral Palsy in Krapina-Zagorje County

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2021
The aim was to study functional abilities and to create functional classification of children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Krapina-Zagorje County, based on the classification of gross and fine motor skills and associated impairments.

Cognition and bimanual performance in children with unilateral cerebral palsy: protocol for a multicentre, cross-sectional study

BMC Neurology, 2018
Background Motor outcomes of children with unilateral cerebral palsy are clearly documented and well understood, yet few studies describe the cognitive functioning in this population, and the associations between the two is poorly understood.

Paralytic dislocations of the hip in adolescence: Orthopaedic treatment [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2009
Paralytic dislocation of the hip in adolescence is not typical, but presents a serious problem whether diagnosed primarily in adolescence or due to the lack of treatment or failed treatment in earlier age.

Upper limb function and cortical organisation in youth with hemiplegic, cerebral palsy

Frontiers in Neurology, 2014
Aim: To explore the relationship between motor cortical and descending motor pathway reorganisation, lesion type and upper limb function in youth with unilateral cerebral palsy. Methods: Twenty participants with unilateral cerebral palsy (mean age 15 ± 3
