AbstractIntroduction: of the study. The elevated muscle tension in lower limbs (LL) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) results in the abnormal pressure on major blood vessels. Consequently, this leads to the disturbances in the circulatory system and a reduction in the temperature in lower limbs. This study assesses thermal effects of a single-session hippotherapy in LL in CP children by means of a non-invasive thermovision technique. Materials and methods: The study included 9 children with CP aged 11,8 ± 4,5 who were treated with hippotherapy. A thermovision camera was used for measurements of the temperature on the surface of lower limbs in anterior, posterior, lateral and medial parts before and after the hippotherapy. Results: The increase in the temperature was observed in the areas of lower limbs which remain directly in contact with the horse’s body. The Wilcoxon test (p<0,01) revealed statistically significant changes in the temperature of the posterior regions in lower limbs. Conclusions: Hippotherapy causes an increase in the temperature of lower limbs in the areas directly involved in contact with the horse’s body. When continuing the study, the factors required for positive effects of the hippotherapy, such as the quality of the therapy and patient’s activation should also be taken into consideration.

Introduction. Cerebral palsy is one of the most common non-progressive neurological disorders caused by fetal or infant brain injury. Current rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy involves a series of measures, including physical training, special massage techniques, physiotherapy, treatment by certain positions and postures, use of supporting orthoses and fixation devices for walking, and special orthopedic suits facilitating verticalization and motor activity of a child. Over the last few decades, computerized stimulators and robotics with virtual reality systems have been actively used in neurorehabilitation. However, most of these systems did not show significant efficiency in rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy. In the last few years, different non-invasive electrostimulation techniques have been considered innovative and can be applied independently or in combination with existing procedures. One of such techniques is translingual neurostimulation. Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of translingual neurostimulation and physical rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy. Materials and methods. In this study, we observed 134 children (63 girls and 71 boys) with spastic diplegia aged 2–17 years (mean age is 7.8 years old ± 0.3). Depending on the type of rehabilitation therapy, the patients were divided into two groups: active (main) and control. Active group consisted of 94 children who received standard restorative treatment in combination with translingual neurostimulation, whereas the control group consisted of 40 children who received only standard rehabilitation treatment without translingual neurostimulation. Results. Both groups of patients showed positive dynamics; however, patients in the active group showed greater improvements as evidenced by all grading scales. Improvements were observed in children of all ages, and the results were mostly stable for 12 months. Conclusion. Translingual neurostimulation is a novel approach to neurorehabilitation that shows promising results, in addition to its proven effectiveness and safety. As a result of neurostimulation, the patient’s brain becomes more susceptible to the applied therapeutic procedures aimed at restoring motor control and formation of new motor skills, thereby markedly increasing the effectiveness of neurorehabilitation. This study broadens the perspectives in the use and further development of translingual neurostimulation in rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy.

Abstract This study describes the prevalence of speech problems and the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in Norway. Information on the communicative abilities of 564 children with CP born 1996–2003, recorded in the Norwegian CP Registry, was collected. A total of 270 children (48%) had normal speech, 90 (16%) had slightly indistinct speech, 52 (9%) had indistinct speech, 35 (6%) had very indistinct speech, 110 children (19%) had no speech, and 7 (1%) were unknown. Speech problems were most common in children with dyskinetic CP (92 %), in children with the most severe gross motor function impairments and among children being totally dependent on assistance in feeding or tube-fed children. A higher proportion of children born at term had speech problems when compared with children born before 32 weeks of gestational age 32 (p > 0.001). Among the 197 children with speech problems only, 106 (54%) used AAC in some form. Approximately 20% of children had no verbal speech, whereas ~15% had significant speech problems. Among children with either significant speech problems or no speech, only 54% used AAC in any form.
