“Mentally challenged children’s performance comparison to evaluate their brain’s motor function – by applying finger tapping subtest test of neuropsychological battery” this is a research problem to know that mental retardation is affecting their motor co-ordination function on not”. Neuro-psychological assessment test battery which was developed by NIMHANS, Bangalore in the year of 2004 and its sub-test Finger tapping test was administered for research. By random sampling method, samples were collected from B.M Institute of Mental Health, Ahmedabad in the year of 2012. Based on Government Civil hospital’s IQ certificate 75 mild category of MR children of above and below graduate parents were taken for research with prior permission. Mental Retardation based on various diagnosis like; Down syndrome, microcephaly, hydrocephaly, trisomy-13, trisomy-18 or multiple disabilities are included. Flowingly, Children’s age group and gender are also kept different to compare their performance on finger tapping test. The results shows the “t” value of Neuropsychological functions of finger tapping test (Right hand) of mild children of different educational level of parents is 0.12. The mean scores of finger tapping test (Right hand) of mild children of above and below graduate parents were found 36.08 and 36.38 respectively with SD 8.50 and 12.56. The results indicate that significant difference does not exist between mild children of below and above graduate parents with regard to finger tapping test (Right hand). In the light of the hypothesis that there will be no significant difference between mild children of below and above graduate parents on finger tapping test (Right hand). It implies that mild children of below and above graduate parents have no significant difference of performance on finger tapping test (Right hand). Based on the result it depicts that mild children of below and above graduate parents’ children have similar performance on finger tapping test (Right hand). The results shows the “t” value of Neuropsychological functions of finger tapping test (Left hand) of mild children of educational level of parents is 0.55. The mean scores of finger tapping test (Left hand) of mild children of above graduate parents were found 34.49 and 35.92 respectively with SD 9.18 and 13.03. The results indicate that significant difference exist between mild children of below graduate parents and mild children of above graduate parents with regard to finger tapping test (Left hand). In the light of the hypothesis that there will be no significant difference between mild children of below and above graduate parents on finger tapping test (Left hand). It implies that mild children of below and above graduate parents have no significant difference on finger tapping test (left hand). Mild children of above and below graduate parent’s children have similar performance on finger tapping test (left hand). On the basis of result it is concluded that Mild MR category of above and below graduate parent’s children have similar performance on Finger tapping test in both Right and Left hand. It depicts that these children are fair in their motor function of motor speed and co-ordination. 75 children’s mental retardation does not affected on their brain’s motor function performance.

Abstract Introduction: Motor function is essential in our daily lives, one of the most common impairments caused by stroke is loss of functional movement. Over 70% of stroke survivors have motor or other neurological functional disabilities. However, rehabilitation of motor function suffered from a stroke can be rather difficult due to the complexity of organs and systems related to motor function, as well as the neural system that supported motor function. In particularly, previous evidence for the effectiveness of physiotherapy, a commonly prescribed intervention method for people with stroke, that recover motor function in people following a stroke is varied and limited in the chronic rehabilitation phase and therefore has never been reviewed systematically. With the progress of study in neurology and the development of novel tools for rehabilitation, results from more and more clinical trials are now available, thus here justifying conducting a systematic review. Methods and analysis: This systematic review protocol is developed in accordance with the methodology recommended by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols, as well as the Cochrane handbook for systematic reviews of interventions. Relevant studies will be identified by searching the databases. We will perform searches for relevant studies in databases, including PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science, Physiotherapy Evidence Database and Cochrane Library databases. The reference lists of included articles and reviews will be searched manually. The date range parameters used in searching all databases will be restricted between January 2001 and January 2021. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published will be included. The language used in the articles included was restricted to English. The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation system from the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions) approach will be used to systematically appraise the quality of methodology. We will assess the risk of bias of the RCTs included using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool and provide a qualitative synthesis. After that, we will consider conducting a meta-analysis if the final data across outcomes shows sufficient homogeneity. Ethics and dissemination: No ethical approval is needed as the proposed study does not involve the collection of primary data, and the results of this review will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. Trial registration number: CRD42021267069.

Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the kinetic functional condition of children with hydrocephalus; to identify the condition of the muscle tone; to verify the static and dynamic functional activities; and to verify the association between tone changes and functional activities. Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory and field study, using qualitative and quantitative approach, performed at the University Hospital in Aracaju city, from August 2009 to March 2010. Results: From 50 evaluated children, 30 (60%) had hypertonia; 10 (20%) were hypotonic; and 10 (20%) did not show muscle tone alteration. The age average was considerably lesser in hypertonic children and higher in hypotonic and without tone alteration children. The average of carried through surgeries was more expressive in hypertonic children. Motor sequels had been present in 92% of the sample. The static functional activities, as well as dynamic functional activities, were lower in hypertonic children (p < 0,0001) and higher in hypotonic and normal tone children. Conclusions: Muscle tone exacerbation is more present in hydrocephalus children and motor function is impaired, being the neuropsychomotor development delayed more evident in spastic children group and less pronounced in children with normal muscle tone.
