Background: Trunk control is necessary to maintain the body position, ensure stabilization in change of perform activities daily living and for activity. At same time, it allows maintaining an upright posture, regulating weight transfer, controlled movement against gravity, controlling changing position balance function. In this study, was aimed examine effects core exercises on proprioception ...

OBJECTIVE Bell's palsy, named after the Scottish anatomist, Sir Charles Bell, is the most common acute mono-neuropathy, or disorder affecting a single nerve, and is the most common diagnosis associated with facial nerve weakness/paralysis. Bell's palsy is a rapid unilateral facial nerve paresis (weakness) or paralysis (complete loss of movement) of unknown cause. The condition leads to the part...

AIM This study aims to examine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) associations with cerebral palsy in a multi-variable analysis adjusting for potential clinical confounders and to assess SNP-SNP and SNP-maternal infection interactions as contributors to cerebral palsy. METHODS A case control study including 587 children with cerebral palsy and 1154 control children without cerebral palsy. T...

OBJECTIVE To examine prevalence and localization of musculo-skeletal pain in adults with cerebral palsy compared with the general population and to investigate variables potentially associated with pain. DESIGN A postal survey. SUBJECTS Persons with cerebral palsy and no intellectual disabilities, 18 years or more, living in Norway. METHODS A multidimensional questionnaire, including item...

From these patients, 121 cases werefemale and 189 cases were male and they were aged from 12 to 67...

Background and Objective: Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder of posture and motor status caused by various factors and can cause childhood disabilities and abnormalities like flat foot deformity. Kinesio Taping is a typical technique that helps relieve pain, relax muscles, and increase proprioception. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping on the...

OBJECTIVES To assess the association of Apgar score 5 minutes after birth with cerebral palsy in both normal weight and low birthweight children, and also the association with the cerebral palsy subdiagnoses of quadriplegia, diplegia, and hemiplegia. DESIGN Population based cohort study. SETTING The Medical Birth Registry of Norway was used to identify all babies born between 1986 and 1995....

tuberculous spondylitis is not an uncommon disease of the spine. near one percent of all cases of spinal tuberculosis (tb) involves craniocervical junction. hypoglossal nerve palsy is not an uncommon neurological finding, but isolated involvement of the hypoglossal nerve is rare and limited to case reports or small case series. here, we report a case of craniocervical junction tuberculosis pres...

objective  cerebral palsy (cp) is the most common cause of chronic disability that restricts participation in areas of occupations for children. according to the occupational therapy practice framework (otpf) the participation areas or occupations consisting of 8 areas (activity daily of living (adl), instrumental activity daily of living (iadl), work, play, leisure, education, rest/sleep/ soci...

Three cases of sudden isolated upper motor neuron facial palsy and two with associated pseudobulbar palsy have been seen. All were without significant limb weakness. Computed tomography demonstrated small deep infarcts in the internal capsular/corona radiata regions. Pure upper motor neuron facial palsy may be another lacunar syndrome, due to a lesion in the internal capsule or corona radiata.
