Objective Epilepsy is reported in 15-90% of the children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) but its clinical course is not well defined. We conducted a retrospective study on children with hemiparetic CP who were referred to Pediatric Neurology Department of Mofid Hospital. The aim of our study was to evaluate the risk factors and prognosis of epilepsy in children with hemiparetic CP. Materials & Methods...

Background: Cerebral palsy is the most common pediatric physical disability, with an incidence of 2.0–2.5 cases per 1000 births. Spastic hemiplegia accounts for more than one third of all new cases and the impairments of upper extremities affect the functional independence and quality of life. Methods: Ten children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy were treated by conventional therapy and Hand ar...

On a voluntary basis, 10 adolescents with hemiparesis due to cerebral palsy and 11 neurologically healthy control subjects participated in this proof-of-concept pilot study. The aim was to examine the effects of robot-assisted training for the unaffected arm in patients with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Baseline comparison between the unaffected arm of the hemiparetic patients with cerebral pals...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study investigated the effects of 4 weeks of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training on balance ability. [Subject and Methods] An adolescent with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy was recruited. The subject performed 4 weeks of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training. We assessed the balance subtest of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Se...

OBJECTIVE To assess the tolerability and efficacy of a commercially available footdrop neuroprosthesis for treatment of footdrop in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. DESIGN A prospective, observational pilot study. SETTING Marshfield Clinic, Department of Physical Medicine. PARTICIPANTS Ten children, ages 7-12 years, with hemiparetic cerebral palsy, who use an ankle foot orthosis ...

The present study focuses on the ability of participants with spastic hemiparesis caused by cerebral palsy to adjust an ongoing movement. Typical symptoms associated with the disorder would lead one to expect that people with spastic hemiparesis would be unable to adjust their movements quickly and proportionally to a sudden change in the environment with their spastic arm. The results of the p...

The authors hypothesized that the risk of cerebral palsy at 2 years in children born extremely preterm to overweight and obese women is increased relative to the risk among children born to neither overweight nor obese women. In a multicenter prospective cohort study, the authors created multinomial logistic regression models of the risk of diparetic, quadriparetic, and hemiparetic cerebral pal...

The features 128 children various forms palsy 20 healthy aged 3 to 14 years were studied. Physical was assessed using standard public anthropometric parameters: weight, height, measurement circumference upper lower extremities, deter...
