Описание: Cerebral Palsy (CP) includes a group of permanent but non-progressive motor disturbances caused by defects in an immature brain. Next to postural abnormalities, movement disorders are commonly acknowledged. Speech deficits, communication delays, challenging behaviors, and locomotion and/or gait inabilities are usually embedded. Furthermore, children and adolescents with CP may have intellectual disabilities. Beside pharmacological approach and surgical interventions, cognitive-behavioral programs and assistive technology-based setups may be implemented. Both clinical practice and applied research may be targeted. The current volume emphasizes a two-decade professional experience of the Editor who works on technological-aided rehabilitative interventions to help people with multiple disabilities in daily settings. The independence, an active role, positive participation and functional occupation of individuals with severe to profound developmental disabilities were highlighted. The book includes eight chapters and provides the reader with practical guidance in daily circumstances. Chapter One is focused on an orthodontists perspective and deals with oral features, diagnostic method, and customized treatment to enhance the safety and the compliance of patients with CP. Chapter Two evaluates support networks of families raising a child with CP. Two different European geographic populations (i.e., Greece and Italy) were systematically compared. Chapter Three describes findings on Cerebral Palsy in Mexican pediatric patients and an experience in a National Institute of Health. Chapter Four presents a short clinical literature review on rehabilitation in CP. The newest empirical contributions were critically discussed. Chapter Five develops an on-track monitoring system to clarify longitudinal trajectories in children with cerebral palsy and systematic comparisons between children with CP were assessed. Chapter Six further argues on unique challenges for oral care and useful recommendations are outlined. Chapter Seven details a computerized customized system to enable three children with an independent request and choice process of desired items. Chapter Eight implements a keyboard tailored emulator to get literacy access in a child with cerebral palsy estimated in the normal range of intellectual functioning. A practical and updated guide to daily challenges posed by children and adolescents with cerebral palsy was presented. Both literature reviews and empirical contributions provide the reader with helpful tips on daily use once tackled with cerebral palsy. Clinical features of individuals with cerebral palsy were detailed and practical supervision was explained. That is, daily recommendations were argued with specific examples in different settings. Oral care, academic performance, leisure opportunities, and occupation options were fostered through practical and clinical guidance.

Описание: Cerebral Palsy (CP) represents one of the most frequent neurological disorder in the infancy and in the childhood. It includes brain injuries or developmental defects. According to the World Health Organization, it is a main problem of public health. It may include communication, intellectual, and motor disabilities with negative consequences on children inclusion in daily life and caregivers burden. Rehabilitative interventions are primarily focused on promoting self-determination and independence of individuals with CP. Postural control, gait, and motor skills are usually embedded. Additionally, one may envisage request and choice programs aimed at enhancing the childs awareness of his/her own behavior. The volume summarizes some illustrative evidence-based contributions to emphasize the effectiveness and the suitability of the adopted programs. Beside stability of upper limbs and motor performance of children with CP (chapter one), the therapeutic effects of a horse riding simulator which was compared to a traditional physiotherapy on the sitting position of children with spastic CP (chapter two), the evaluation of stability in children with different form of CP was assessed through a rehabilitative platform was implemented (chapter three). The aforementioned experimental examinations presented between-groups investigations. Furthermore, four case-report studies were included. Assistive technology-based setups were used to promote an active role, constructive engagement, and positive participation of the enrolled children with CP and intellectual disabilities. The beneficial outcomes on their quality of life were considered. Chapter four describes a microswitch-based program to enhance ambulation responses of a child with CP. Chapter five provides a detailed illustration of such program to support locomotion fluency. Chapter six illustrates a cluster-technology aimed at pursuing the dual goal of fostering an adaptive response and reducing a challenging behavior. Chapter seven refers to a computerized system focused on enabling a child with CP and intellectual delays with academic performance and communication opportunities. Whenever available, the effects on indices of happiness and/or positive participation were analyzed. Social validation procedures involving external raters were conducted. Practical features of the retained treatments were privileged. Clinical, educational, psychological, and rehabilitative implications of the findings were systematically and critically discussed. Caregivers, educators, families of children with CP, practitioners, psychologists, speech and occupational therapists, medicine or psychology students, and teachers may find some useful insights for both research and practice in daily life settings.
Описание: Cerebral palsy is the most common movement disorder encountered in pediatric physical therapy practice. Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy: An Evidence-Based Approach is a unique, comprehensive reference that focuses on physical therapy management of children with cerebral palsy through the analysis and synthesis of published research, and it offers evidence-based teaching and learning opportunities to a wide reading audience. Inside, Dr. Mary Rahlin examines the current approach to the diagnosis and classification of cerebral palsy and explores the research evidence related to prognosis; medical management; and physical therapy examination, evaluation, and intervention for children with this condition. Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy analyzes cerebral palsy as a lifespan condition and utilizes the framework of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Sections include: •Typical and atypical development of movement and postural control•Cerebral palsy as a development disorder•Medical management of alterations of body structures and functions by body systems•Physical therapy management, including theoretical foundation, research evidence, and practice•Normal and abnormal gait patterns and current evidence for orthotic management and assistive technology•Transition to adult life Unique topics discussed: •Variability, complexity, and adaptability in motor development•The interdisciplinary team and effective interprofessional collaboration•Assessment and management of therapy-related behavior•Complementary and alternative interventions•Segmental kinematic approach to orthotic management via ankle-foot-orthosis/footwear combinationOther unique features include “Questions to Ponder” and “Suggested Questions for Future Research” at the end of each chapter. These are intended to generate healthy professional debate on a variety of topics, both in the classroom and in the clinic, and challenge the readers to plan new studies in search for evidence that will continue moving the pediatric physical therapy practice forward.Also included with Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy is online access to video clips that accompany the text and highlight typical and atypical development, use of assistive technology, life span issues, and transition to adulthood. Instructors in educational settings can visit www.efacultylounge.com for additional materials to be used for teaching in the classroom.Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy: An Evidence-Based Approach is intended for physical therapy students, educators, residents, and experienced clinicians, including physical therapists, other members of the interdisciplinary team, and researchers working with children with cerebral palsy.

Описание: Cerebral palsy presents stable encephalopathy that systemically influences on the childs and adults organism. Orthopedic complications of cerebral palsy possess on the contrary progressive features and those complications cause gradual failure of motor ability of a person: impaired walking, loss of postural ability, reduced self-care and inclusion, finally quality of life becoming much worse. That is why orthopedic aspects are of great importance in children with cerebral palsy. This volume presents a collection of chapters covering a wide range of problems, from a system of universal classification of dysfunctions in Cerebral Palsy and practical issues of prevention of orthopedic complications orthopedic to surgery (diagnostics and quantitative interpretation of gait disorders in such patients, optimal methods of surgical intervention, hip surgery, spinal surgery) and aspects of nutritive status of this specific category of patients, associated comorbidities and their influence and connection with orthopedic problems. Furthermore, three chapters are dedicated to the anesthetic aspects of orthopedic surgery. The substantiation is given to the methods of combined anesthesia and sedation during surgery, as well as in the immediate postoperative period, taking into account concomitant epilepsy, increased intracranial pressure and spasticity in such children. Single-event multilevel orthopedic surgery is a recognized gold standard in ambulatory patients, though it varies according to gait patterns and associated orthopedic problems causing motor disorders. The book contains explanations and methodology of surgeries for conventional gait patterns, as well as in iatrogenic disorders caused by previous unreasonable interventions. The chapter on the correction of deformities and dysfunctions of the upper limb shows the first applied transfer of m.flexor cubitus ulnaris to the radius, which gave extremely positive results both in terms of function and aesthetics. Unfortunately, in Russia the number of CP patients with iatrogenic orthopedic disorders is high. Extremely negative consequences in the form of weakness of the triceps muscles after percutaneous fibromyotomies (so-called "Ulzibat method") or lengthening of the Achilles tendon in diplegia performed before the age of five years and before the development of muscle retraction lead to the development of crouch gait even in patients with high motor potential (GMFCS I, II). This complication of unreasonable surgical interventions develops in 5-7 years after primary surgery and in the opinion of doctors and parents is not related to previous procedures. This book, based on 3D-instrumented gait analysis, shows the features of iatrogenic crouch gait, as well as methods of surgical correction of this difficult situation. The data presented in this book are based, on the one hand, on the personal practical and scientific experience of each author, and on the other hand, the entire team of authors works in collaboration with each other, coordinating their decisions and interventions with colleagues, thus ensuring continuity in treatment of children and adults suffering from cerebral palsy.
