Abstract:

Young people with disabilities face a time of great stress as they move from child to adult care, which profoundly impacts them and their families. They 'transition' from very high and cohering levels of care, until they reach a point, determined by age, when they are receiving low levels of far less cohesive care. Further, the propensity shown by the Scottish Government to devolve down the responsibility for service and local policy delivery, can lead to unforeseen consequences resulting in variation in experiences. Does this devolution of responsibility, to local bodies and service users, pr

Objectives: To describe the 'activities and participation' of children with cerebral palsy, as defined by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), using family-assessed instruments. Methods: A structured review of family assessed instruments appropriate for measuring children's activities and participation was undertaken to identify questionnaires for use in a postal survey. The survey involved a geographically-defined population of children with cerebral palsy between 6 and 12 years old, identified from the 4Child database in Oxford. Indices of children's

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability in childhood (Reddihough & Collins, 2003). The most characteristic features of those with cerebral palsy are the physical disabilities that arise as a result of the brain lesion, including; spasticity, muscle weakness and atrophy, soft-tissue contracture and joint deformity. Strength training for young people with cerebral palsy aims to negate the debilitating effects of muscle weakness and improve function. Research need now be dedicated to investigating the mechanisms of strength-training, in an effort to optimise tra

Using the same cohort, the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of HBO2 therapy on hand function using the Jebsen-Taylor test. All children received 40 treatments over a 2-month period. HBO2 treatments were 60 minutes with 100% O2 at 1.75 atmospheres absolute (ATA). Placebo treatments were also 60 minutes w

Abstract:

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive stimulation technique that modulates brain function by increasing or decreasing cortical excitability (Nitsche & Paulus, 2001). In chronic stroke patients tDCS has been shown to improve function of the affected arm when combined with rehabilitative motor training (e.g. Lindenberg et al., 2010) and thus has the potential to accelerate motor learning. Its potential as a treatment for upper limb function in hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) had not been explored, which was the principle aim of this doctorate. After literature reviews o

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) represent the largest diagnostic group in pediatric rehabilitation.
