Upper Limb Function and Cortical Organization in Youth with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
AIM To explore the relationship between motor cortical and descending motor pathway reorganization, lesion type, and upper limb function in youth with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS Twenty participants with unilateral CP (mean age 15 ± 3 years; 11 males) completed a range of upper limb functional measures. Structural MRI, diffusion-weighted, and functional MRI were conducted to deter...
متن کاملUpper Limb Hypertonicity in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Review Study on Medical and Rehabilitative Management
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...
متن کاملStructural Brain Damage and Upper Limb Kinematics in Children with Unilateral Cerebral Palsy
Background: In children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP) virtually nothing is known on the relation between structural brain damage and upper limb (UL) kinematics quantified with three-dimensional movement analysis (3DMA). This explorative study aimed to (1) investigate differences in UL kinematics between children with different lesion timings, i.e., periventricular white matter (PWM) vs. ...
متن کاملImpact of tactile dysfunction on upper-limb motor performance in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between tactile function and upper-limb function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Assessments were performed in community or hospital venues or in participants' homes. PARTICIPANTS Recruitment information was sent to 253 possible participants with unilateral CP (aged 8-18 y), and N=52 participate...
متن کاملCombined transcranial direct current stimulation and robotic upper limb therapy improves upper limb function in an adult with cerebral palsy
BACKGROUND Robotic therapy can improve upper limb function in hemiparesis. Excitatory transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can prime brain motor circuits before therapy. OBJECTIVE We tested safety and efficacy of tDCS plus robotic therapy in an adult with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). METHODS In each of 36 sessions, anodal tDCS (2 mA, 20 min) was applied over the motor...
