Comparison of Two Exercise Methods on Motor Performance and Balance in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of two exercise methods on improving balance and motor performance in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Design: Randomized clinical trial. Materials & Methods: In this semi-experimental study 21 children aged 7–12 years, with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, who were independent ambulators, were recruited. Children w...
متن کاملHip Spasticity and Strength in Children With Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy
Hip spasticity and strength from 44 children with cerebral palsy (CP) and 44 children with able bodies (AB) were compared. For spasticity, a KinCom dynamometer abducted the passive hip at 4 different speeds and recorded the resistive adductor torques. Work values for the torque-angle data were calculated at each speed. Linear regression derived the slope for the line of best fit for the work-ve...

Objectives: Postural control deficit is one of the most important problems in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this paper is to review the reactive postural control in spastic children with CP. Methods: Researches on development of reactive postural control in typically developing (TD) children and children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) were analyzed. Results: The resu...
متن کاملEffects of different dilutions of botulinum toxin type A treatment for children with cerebral palsy with spastic ankle plantarflexor: a randomized controlled trial.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different volumes of saline vehicle on the effects of botulinum toxin type A in reducing ankle plantarflexor spasticity and improving gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy. DESIGN Children with cerebral palsy having ankle plantarflexor spasticity were recruited. They were divided randomly into 2 groups. Botulinum toxin...
متن کاملEffects of Leap Motion Controller on Improving Hand Function in Children with Bilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy
Background and purpose: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to classify children with non-progressive lesions in the developing brain. Bilateral spastic is the most common type of cerebral palsy. Reduced ability to manipulate objects is one of limiting factors in daily activities of these children and its improvements is one of the most important therapeutic goals. The aim of this study was to i...
