Abstract:

La modélisation musculosquelettique est aujourd’hui utilisée dans de nombreux domaines tels que l’analyse de la marche pathologique et la simulation des traitements thérapeutiques et chirurgicaux. Dans le cadre de la paralysie cérébrale (PC), la prise en considération des spécificités des patients, des troubles neurologiques et des déformations osseuses est nécessaire. Etant donné que les techniques d’imagerie médicale sont encore marginales en routine clinique, le recours aux modèles génériques reste donc indispensable. Notre étude rétrospective vise le développement d’un modèle musculosquele

Abstract:

Background. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) encounter a number of orthopedic complications as a result of abnormalities in motor function. One of the most significant complications is fragility fractures, occurring in up to 23% of children in prior reports. Despite a growing literature on how to best interpret bone densitometry in children, little research has determined optimal utilization of dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in children with CP in order to characterize the patients' bone health status. This study outlines the use of the mechanostat theory of bone physiology to classify osteo

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the literacy difficulties of fifteen children with cerebral palsy (CP). The children were an opportunistic sample from two schools, and were initially selected on the basis that they had typical abilities in other school subjects. A review of the literature pertaining to the development of literacy and related aspects of cognitive development in typically-developing children and children with CP informed the development of the research strategy. The children's literacy, their general non-verbal and communication abilities, as well as a set of cognitive abilities that could

Abstract:

Self-concept is the perception that individuals have of themselves across different aspects of life such as academic performance or appearance. The Self-Concept Feedback Loop proposed for this research program conceptualised self-concept as developing through an interactive and iterative process involving social experiences and the cognitive processes of individuals. Through this process, individuals evaluate their behaviour or attributes against their internal standards. Subsequently, this evaluation influences their self-concept. In the general population, low self-concept has been linked to

Further objectives were the identification of factors that affect the use of sleep systems and the production of findings to guide therapists' clinical practice.

Methods: Twelve subjects with cerebral palsy and seventeen control subjects performed three MVICs of elbow extension and flexion, and an endurance task holding a load of approximately 20% of MVIC until exhaustion.

Abstract:

Evidence-based practice has been adopted by the healthcare sector as a framework to achieve safer, scientifically defensible and cost-effective clinical care. Consistent with this framework is an increasing expectation for healthcare professionals to be evidence-based in relation to assessment. Evidence-based assessment uses research to guide tool selection and integrates the assessment tool findings with health professional expertise and family preferences, within the context of available resources. Evidence-based assessment tools can provide objective information about a child’s capabilities

Purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an intensive speech treatment for children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). Background. Children with spastic CP have speech and voice disorders, which may limit functional communication and negatively impact quality of life. There are limited published outcome data on speech treatment approaches for these children. Recent advances in theories of motor development and behavioral gait and limb treatment provide a solid framework (consistent with theories of motor learning) from which to test different speech treatment concepts (e

Abstract:

The clinical motivation for this study arose from repeated observations that some children with cerebral palsy (CP), despite provision of equipment and support, were still failing to reach their expected communication potential. In the clinical field, this failure has been commonly viewed to be the result of physical dependence on adult partners, or linked directly to the children’s physical or learning disabilities, arising from the neurological and developmental deficits associated with CP. Social responsiveness and shared attention underpin language and communication development. Children w

Abstract:

Turning while walking is a crucial component of locomotion; yet, little is known about how the biomechanics of turning gait differ from those of straight walking. Moreover, it is unclear how populations with restricted gait ability, such as children with cerebral palsy (CP) adapt to turning, compared to their typically developing (TD) peers. Thus, the aims of this thesis were to quantify the biomechanical differences between turning gait and straight walking in TD children and to explore if further, pathology specific, changes present during turning in children with CP.

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive disorder associated with brain injury, defect, or disease, of early onset. Emphasis is placed on the more easily observable motor deficits, with any underlying sensory deficits often being overlooked.

Thus, there is a need to formulate a standardized sensory assessment battery that may be used to evaluate physically handicapped children.

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.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is an impairment of movement and posture derived from damage to the developing brain either before, during or after birth. There is evidence that children and adolescents with CP have high rates of behaviour problems. However, there have been very few attempts to understand the potential mechanisms for these behaviour problems. Elucidating these could help with prevention and intervention strategies. This thesis investigates eleven possible contributory variables to see if these correlate with behaviour problems in children and adolescents with CP. These are epilepsy, sleep
