Objective: Verify therapeutic intervention efficacy in children between the ages of 0 to 12, with cerebral palsy, evaluated by Thick Motor Function Measure. Method: PUBMed (MEDLINE), Cohrane, Web of Science, Scopus, Lilacs and PEDro. During phase 1, titles and abstracts of all identified references were independently displayed to 2 investigators. In phase 2, the same researchers applied the inclusion criteria for complete articles text. Key data from each of the included studies were extracted, such as author, year of publication, sample size, relevant characteristics, and conclusions on therapeutic interventions in children with cerebral palsy. Results: 15 articles were combined for qualitative analysis. Total scores for methodological quality ranged from 5 to 9 points. Covering the included articles for qualitative analysis, 14 studies were included in meta-analysis. Results demonstrated a significant variation when compared to conventional therapy performed through physical therapy in total scores and subgroup training, but not in hippotherapy, activity tasks and other therapies. Conclusion: Commonly therapies applied to children with CP when integrated with functional tasks appear to have better results when only compared to conventional physiotherapy.

Children With Cerebral Palsy

Abstract Background Researchers recently investigated the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in helping children with cerebral palsy (CP) to improve motor function. A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using a meta-analytic method to examine the effectiveness of VR in children with CP was thus needed. Purpose The purpose of this study was to update the current evidence about VR by systematically examining the research literature. Data Sources A systematic literature search of PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ERIC, PsycINFO, and Web of Science up to December 2016 was conducted. Study Selection Studies with an RCT design, children with CP, comparisons of VR with other interventions, and movement-related outcomes were included. Data Extraction A template was created to systematically code the demographic, methodological, and miscellaneous variables of each RCT. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale was used to evaluate the study quality. Effect size was computed and combined using meta-analysis software. Moderator analyses were also used to explain the heterogeneity of the effect sizes in all RCTs. Data Synthesis . The literature search yielded 19 RCT studies with fair to good methodological quality. Overall, VR provided a large effect size (d = 0.861) when compared with other interventions. A large effect of VR on arm function (d = 0.835) and postural control (d = 1.003) and a medium effect on ambulation (d = 0.755) were also found. Only the VR type affected the overall VR effect: an engineer-built system was more effective than a commercial system. Limitations The RCTs included in this study were of fair to good quality, had a high level of heterogeneity and small sample sizes, and used various intervention protocols. Conclusions Then compared with other interventions, VR seems to be an effective intervention for improving motor function in children with CP.

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.
