OBJECTIVE To quantify the level of everyday physical activity in adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy, and to study associations with personal and cerebral palsy-related characteristics. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Fifty-six adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (mean age 36.4 (standard deviation (SD) 5.8) years, 62% male) participated in the study. Approximately 75% had high gros...

objective: management and rehabilitation of disabilities relevant to fine motor skills in spastic cerebral palsied patients is often complex and challenging, therefore exploiting an easy and effective method similar to music therapy for completing the rehabilitation process can be very essential. the aim of the present study was to investigate the mentioned hypothesis that is the effect of pers...

We studied the proportion of developmental dysplasia of spastic hip in children with cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy aged 2-12 years were enrolled. Migration percentage was measured on pelvic radiographs. Hip dysplasia was seen in 15 (12.7%) children.

ABSTRACT
 The overall birth prevalence of cerebral palsy is about 2 per 1000 live births. Weakness in balance control one the most common problems encountered children with CP. One widely used physiotherapy approaches for CP Bobath therapy. Exercise method can improve postural and This study aims to determine effect exercise therapy a child spastic diplegic palsy. using single-subject rese...

cerebral palsy is a term commonly used for conditions characterized by motor dysfunction due to non-progressive brain damage in early life. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of self-control and experimental-control feedback frequencies on the acquisition, retention and transfer of a throwing task in children with spastic cerebral palsy. from 1750 students with cerebral palsy in t...

abstract objective children suffering from cerebral palsy (cp), exhibit movement limitations and physiological abnormalities as compared to normal individuals. the objective of this study was to assess mechanical efficiency and certain cardiovascular indices before and after an exercise-rehabilitation program in children with dipelegia spastic cerebral palsy (experimental group) in comparison w...

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that a nutritional support intervention, via naso-enteral tube-feeding or gastrostomy, has a significant impact on the nutritional status and body composition in severely malnourished children with cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegia. METHODS Thirteen patients with moderate/severe malnutrition and cerebral palsy spastic quadriplegia who were fed via naso-enteral tube-...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of task-oriented training (TOT) on hand dexterity and strength in children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Twelve children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy were randomly assigned to either the TOT group (n=6) or the control group (n=6). In both groups, conventional occupational therapy was pe...

This investigation quantified maximum active resultant joint torques in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy and nondisabled children. An isokinetic dynamometer rotated the limb (10°/s) while the resultant knee joint torques (both assistive and resistive) during knee extension and flexion in 6 nondisabled children and 26 children with cerebral palsy were recorded. Torque–angle data wer...
