objectives: this study aimed to compare the combination of cimt and bim training with cimt in fine motor skills of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. methods: 24 children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy aged between 60 and 120 months participated in this rct study. they were randomly assigned into cimt and bim training (n=12, four males, eight females mean age±standard deviation=93.58±14.2...

objectives: the aim of this study was to translate the craig hospital inventory of environmental factors (chief) into persian language and to evaluate the validity and reliability of persian version of chief to use for children with cerebral palsy. methods: the chief was translated from english into persian based on the international quality of life assessment (iqola) approach. the persian vers...

hypertonicity is the most common type of cerebral palsy consists of 85% of the affected children. it has a very complex nature making intervention and management very difficult. this article tries to make reader familiar with various types of intervention and introduce a new intervention process to help clinicians decide better. literature was reviewed with two criteria including: identifying v...

background: cerebral palsy (cp) describes a group of disorders regarding the development of movement and posture, which causes limitations in activity. in fact, it is attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occur during brain development in fetus or infant. cp disorders may accompany by speech, auditory, visual abnormality, seizure, learning disorder, mental retardation and etc. due to ...

introduction: spastic hemiplegia is one of the most common types of cerebral palsy. pathology of the central nervous system can alter normal development of the somatosensory cortex and develop sensory deficits. these deficits can decrease upper limp motor performances and skills and reduce the tendency to use the affected upper limp, so the quality of life is impaired in these children. therefo...

BACKGROUND A population-based study on prevalence of cerebral palsy in multiple births has not been carried out in China. The purpose of this paper was to determine the prevalence of cerebral palsy in multiple births and to explore the influence of multiple pregnancy on cerebral palsy after controlling for birthweight. METHODS A cross-sectional study of cerebral palsy was carried out among 38...

Cerebral palsy is a common and significant disorder of motor development, with an incidence of 2e2.5 per 1000 live births. Despite improvements in antenatal and perinatal care, there has been little change in the overall numbers of children developing cerebral palsy in the last 40 years. More extremely premature infants are surviving and have more severe forms of cerebral palsy. The common risk...

objectives: findings demonstrated that parent of children with cerebral palsy experience elevated level of distress, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress symptom and subjective symptom of stress. depression is a common condition that typically has a relapsing course. effective interventions targeting relapse have the potential to dramatically reduce the point prevalence of the condition. m...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that pre-eclampsia is a risk factor for cerebral palsy mediated through preterm birth and being born small for gestational age. DESIGN Population based cohort study. SETTING Clinical data from the Norwegian Cerebral Palsy Registry were linked with perinatal data prospectively recorded by the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. PARTICIPANTS All singleton babi...

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 developing children, to enhance gait stability. Evidence also suggests an influence of walking speed on gait stability. Moreover, previous research hi...
