Cerebellar Stimulation

✓ The changes in motor function in cerebral palsy patients produced by chronic anterior lobe cerebellar stimulation were documented with the Milani-Comparetti developmental scale, which allows comparison between functional gains and reflex patterns. Two patients with marked motor retardation and primitive reflexes were followed serially over several months of stimulation. Using these measures, the efficiency of chronic stimulation can be assessed, although many years will be needed to evaluate its role in treating motor disabilities.

Articulated Robot

Free play is of great benefit for children’s physical and cognitive development, especially for younger ages. However, children with motor restrictions cannot engage in free play like their peers because they face strong challenges to manipulate and interact with their environment. This lack of play opportunities may hinder proper cognitive development, along with several other problems such as decreased social skills or low self-esteem. In recent years several studies have discussed the use of robots to provide children with motor disabilities more opportunities for free play. This paper gives an overview of recent studies regarding the use of robots for play by children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). We also propose a work framework composed by a bi-manual articulated robot to further expand those children’s play opportunities.

Multiple Probe

Although partial participation is used widely within educational programs for persons having severe mental or motor disabilities, there are few studies that target partial participation of a task rather than independent performance. One variation of partial participation requires that caregivers perform the task components that are not motorically feasible for a person, while teaching the student to perform the remaining components. In this study, three toothbrushing tasks (brushing teeth, rinsing, and wiping mouth) were analyzed into steps, some which the teacher performed and others that were taught to the student. The participants were 3 elementary-aged students with quadriplegic cerebral palsy and severe to profound mental retardation. Intervention procedures included time delay to fade physical prompts, reinforcement, and error correction. Instruction occurred daily in a self-contained public school classroom over a single school year, with follow-up probes conducted during the subsequent 2 years. A multiple probe design across tasks was employed to evaluate treatment effects. Daily training data and probes of performance indicated that 2 of the 3 students reached criterion on all three tasks, while 1 student reached criterion on one task. All students maintained performance on one or more tasks when measured 4 and 19 months following intervention.

ABSTRACTPurpose of review:This review proposes a clinical classification for the congenital ataxias based on clinical features, neuroimaging and course of the disease.Recent findings:Congenital ataxias are an unusual group of neurological disorders, with heterogeneous clinical and genetic presentation. Typical clinical features of the congenital ataxias include variable degrees of motor developmental delay, very early onset cerebellar ataxia, cognitive impairment and hypotonia, frequently mistakenly diagnosed as cerebral palsy. Congenital ataxias are usually non-progressive. Neuroimaging plays an important role in characterization of the congenital ataxias. Despite development of genetics with exome sequencing, several congenital ataxias remain undetermined, and medical literature on this topic is scarce.Summary:A didactic classification based on clinical and neuroimaging features for the congenital ataxias includes four main groups: cerebellar malformation, syndromic congenital ataxias, congenital cerebellar hypoplasia and pontocerebellar hypoplasia. A diagnostic approach for the congenital ataxias is proposed, and their differential diagnosis are also discussed.

Background: Cerebral palsy is a medical term for a group of disorders of the central nervous system causing multiple motor disabilities, intellectual, sensory and behaviors children with cerebral palsy are the burden of family and society. Purposes: Evaluate the recovery effect of motor function by electro-acupuncture, point injection and massage in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Patients and Method: a controlled, clinical trial. Sixty patients were divided into two groups: a controlled group and a massage group. Two groups were treated electro-acupuncture, point injection and massage was added in the massage group during four weeks, once a day, six times per day. Results: after treatment, all of patients in massage group had good and fair levels (100%). The massage group decreased level of spastic muscle more than the controlled group with electro-acupuncture and point injection (p<0.05). Conclusion: Electro-acupuncture, point injection combined with massage improved the motor function and level of spastic muscle in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Keywords: Cerebral palsy, spastic, electro-acupuncture, point injection, massage

Abstract The beneficial effects of hippotherapy lie in the transmission of the horse's movements to the patient. The aim of our work was to create a measurement method for objective evaluation that can be used in natural settings without interfering with therapy. Methodology/Principal findings Our measurement system consists of three treble axis accelerometers connected to a data logger. Software was developed for data analysis and post processing. A commercial DVD recording camera was used to document the hippotherapy session. In this paper we present the results obtained in pilot measurements on ten children with cerebral palsy. For reference, a skilled rider was measured on the same horse using a passive following seat. Conclusions The acceleration diagrams show common characteristics useful to the interpretation of the movement transfer during hippotherapy as well as individual patterns indicating alterations in the movement reactions of different patients.
