The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between motor performance in the aquatic setting as measured by the Aquatic Independence Measure (AIM) to motor performance on land as measured by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). Fourty- nine children with neuro-motor impairments ages 3 to 7 participated in the study. Pearson correlations were applied to determine the relationships between the AIM and the GMFM, PEDI, and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Significant correlations were found between the total AIM and GMFM scores (r = 69, p < .01) and PEDI self-care sub-scale (r = .79, p < .01) as well as the PEDI mobility sub-scale scores (r = .35, p < .05). The water adjustment sub-scale as measured by the AIM showed the strongest relationship to motor performance on land as measured by the GMFM and PEDI in our sample of 49 children.

Purpose: This pilot study evaluated the outcomes of tendon Achilles lengthening in 12 children (mean age: 11.2 years) with spastic hemiplegia. Methods: Cerebral Palsy Computer Adaptive Tests, the timed up-and-go, the Gross Motor Function Measure, the Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire, and the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument were administered at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months postsurgery. Results: Significant improvement at the latest follow-up (12-24 months following surgery) was seen in all domains of the Cerebral Palsy Computer Adaptive Test: activity ( P = .017), lower extremity ( P = .005), global ( P = .005), pain ( P = .005), and fatigue ( P = .028), as well as in the Gross Motor Function Measure-standing domain ( P = .02) and the mobility domain of the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument ( P = .04). Conclusion: These findings indicate that the tendon Achilles lengthening improved functional outcome in these children as measured by tests of physical function, walking speed, and activity performance.

AbstractThe Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) is a valid and reliable tool to assess trunk impairment in children with heterogeneous cerebral palsy. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the TIS in assessing children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The sample was a total of 30 subjects (15 = boys, 15 = girls). All subjects underwent an assessment of the sitting component of the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 and TIS by rater 1. Rater one observed video recordings within 24 h and scored TIS for intra-rater reliability, while rater two did likewise after 48 h for inter-rater reliability. The mean and standard deviation of the TIS and sitting components of the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 were 15.66 ± 4.20 and 52.36 ± 6.26, respectively. We established intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the TIS with Intra Class Correlation Coefficient 0.991 and 0.972, respectively. The concurrent validity of the TIS with the sitting component of the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 was good, with an r-value of 0.844 (p < 0.001). This study showed the excellent intra-rater and inter-rater reliability and high concurrent validity of the TIS in assessing children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy.

AbstractSpastic Cerebral Palsy is a type of Cerebral Palsy that experiences stiffness or tightness of the muscles. These muscles become stiff because messages to the muscles are conveyed incorrectly by the damaged part of the brain. The presence of spasticity will affect gross motor function disorders in children with cerebral palsy. One of the physiotherapy approaches to improve gross motor function is hippotherapy. This literature review study aims to describe gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children after giving hippotherapy from several articles. The selection of articles in this study was a literature review analysis using the PICO method, five articles were obtained for review from several data bases such as PubMed (n=2) and Google Scholar (n=3). The measuring instrument uses GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) to measure gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children. The results of the literature review analysis in these five articles indicate that hippotherapy can improve gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children with an average value before the action of 63.65 and after the action of 66.68. From the results of the literature review of these five articles, it shows that hippotherapy is proven to improve gross motor function in Spastic Cerebral Palsy children before and after giving intervention with hippotherapy modality with an average difference of 3.03. Hippotherapy can be used as a reference material for interventions or research materials or physiotherapy research, especially in pediatric cases.Keywords: GMFM; spastic cerebral palsy; hippotherapy AbstrakCerebral Palsy Spastik merupakan salah satu jenis Cerebral Palsy yang mengalami kekakuan atau keketatan otot-otot. Otot ini menjadi kaku karena pesan pada otot disampaikan secara tidak benar oleh bagian otak yang rusak. Adanya spastisitas akan berpengaruh terhadap gangguan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy. Salah satu pendekatan fisioterapi untuk meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar adalah hippotherapy. Penelitian literature review ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik setelah pemberian hippotherapy dari beberapa artikel. Pemilihan artikel pada penelitian ini yaitu analisis literature review dengan metode PICO, didapatkan lima artikel untuk direview dari beberapa data base sepertiPubMed (n=2) dan Google Scholar (n=3). Alat ukur menggunakan GMFM (Gross Motor Function Measure) untuk mengukur fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik. Hasil analisis literature review pada kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa hippotherapy dapat meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik dengan nilai rata-rata sebelum tindakan 63,65 dan sesudah tindakan 66,68. Dari hasil literature review kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa hippotherapy terbukti dapat meningkatkan fungsi motorik kasar pada anak Cerebral Palsy Spastik sebelum dan sesudah pemberian intervensi dengan modalitas hippotherapy dengan hasil selisih rata-rata sebesar 3,03. Hippotherapy dapat digunakan sebagai bahan acuan untuk intervensi maupun bahan riset atau penelitian fisioterapi khususnya pada kasus pediatric.Kata kunci : GMFM;cerebral palsy spastik;hippotherapy

IntroductionIntensive physical therapy (PT) interventions administered to children with cerebral palsy (CP) have received a significant amount of attention in published literature. However, there is considerable variability in therapy intensity among studies and notable lack of information on optimal intervention dosing. This makes it difficult for clinicians to use evidence to inform practice. Many studies use the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66) to assess functional progress in children with CP. The purpose of this systematic review will be to identify the GMFM-66 change score reported in published studies, with outcomes based on intervention intensity. Whether the type of PT intervention, child’s age, and Gross Motor Function Classification System level influence the GMFM-66 scores will be also assessed.Methods and analysisThis systematic review protocol was developed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 checklist. In March 2018, nine databases (PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and REHABDATA) were searched for controlled clinical trials and single-subject design studies of PT interventions of any kind and intensity that used the GMFM-66 as an outcome measure for children with CP, age up to 18 years. Two authors independently reviewed the titles and abstracts and arrived at consensus on paper selection for a full-text review. The same process was used for a full-text article screening based on further detailed inclusion criteria, with a final selection made for those suitable for data extraction. Prior to commencement of data extraction, all searches will be updated, and new results re-screened.Ethics and disseminationThis study will involve a systematic review of published articles and no primary data collection. Therefore, no ethical approval will be necessary. Results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed publication and presented at scientific conferences.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020147669
