Corticospinal tract diffusion properties and robotic visually guided reaching in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy

Coordination of reaching in children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy under different task demands.

Coordination of reaching with the impaired and non-impaired arm in 10 children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy (SHCP) was examined in a stationary ball and moving ball context. Kinematic data on trunk, arm, and wrist movements, and coordination patterns between joint angles of elbow, shoulder, and trunk, were analyzed to determine how reaching was influenced by impairment and object mot...

Using diffusion tensor imaging to identify corticospinal tract projection patterns in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy

AIM To determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be an independent assessment for identifying the corticospinal tract (CST) projecting from the more-affected motor cortex in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD Twenty children with unilateral spastic CP participated in this study (16 males, four females; mean age 9y 2mo [standard deviation (SD) 3y 2mo], Manu...

OBJECTIVES We analyzed electroclinical features and evolution in nine patients with hemiparetic cerebral palsy associated with SE. PATIENTS AND METHODS Nine patients with mean age 12.3 years and a follow up from 1 to 11 years were studied, analyzing etiology, neurological examination, psychometric evaluation, age at onset and semiology of epileptic seizures, EEGs and neuro-radiological findin...
