Cortical Somatosensory Reorganization in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy: A Multimodal Neuroimaging Study
Although cerebral palsy (CP) is among the most common causes of physical disability in early childhood, we know little about the functional and structural changes of this disorder in the developing brain. Here, we investigated with three different neuroimaging modalities [magnetoencephalography (MEG), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and resting-state fMRI] whether spastic CP is associated with ...
متن کاملCortical somatosensory evoked potentials and spasticity assessment after botulinum toxin type A injection in children with cerebral palsy.
PURPOSE The mechanism of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) action at the neuromuscular junction is well known. But from the introduction of BTX-A, some authors have suggested a central action of BTX-A and possible side effects far from the site of injection. Some studies demonstrate an improvement of cortical SEPs associated with reduction of spasticity after BTX-A injection. The aim of the presen...
متن کاملBilateral alterations in somatosensory cortical processing in hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
AIM In individuals with cerebral palsy (CP), cerebral insults during early development may induce profound reorganization of the motor representation. This study determined the extent of alterations in cortical somatosensory functions in adolescents with hemiplegic CP with subcortical brain lesions. METHOD We recorded somatosensory evoked magnetic fields in response to hand area stimulation f...
متن کاملEnvironmental Barriers to Social Participation of Children with Cerebral Palsy in Tehran
Objectives: Cerebral palsy is the most common type of permanent movement and posture disorder in children leading to activity limitations. Childrenchr('39')s participation is influenced by their functional ability, skills, interests, and environmental factors. The objective of the study was to describe parent perception of environmental barriers to participation of children with cerebral palsy....
متن کاملHypertonicity in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A New Perspective
Objectives: Hypertonicity is a major problem in children with cerebral palsy that has not been explained effectively to address clinical decision making. Therefore, this article aims to provide a theoretical framework about hypertonicity for clinicians, rehabilitation and medical practitioners to be used in their practice. Methods: Literature was reviewed to examine the new perspectives towa...
