Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although the neurodevelopmental therapy (NDT) treatment approach is used extensively in the management of children with cerebral palsy, there is currently very little documented research to support its efficacy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of NDT in terms of its effect on motor function in a group of 10 cerebral palsy children. A multiple simple single-subject design was used in which the children each acted as their own controls. A 5 week baseline period, during which no intervention was received by the children, was followed by a 5 week intervention phase during which the children received twice weekly NDT treatment. The children were assessed at the beginning and end of each phase using the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), and an assessment tool, which allowed the establishment of individualised outcome measures, called TELER. The group of children demonstrated no statistically significant gains in motor function on either of the outcome measures during the baseline phase of the study. However during the intervention phase the overall improvements demonstrated by the group on both the GMFM and TELER were statistically significant. Nine out of the ten children achieved greater improvements in their goal total GMFM scores during the intervention phase than during the baseline phase. Similarly all of the children achieved a greater number of clinically significant improvements on the TELER outcome measures. NDT was beneficial and useful in promoting motor function in this group of cerebral palsy children.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Alhoewel die Neuro-ontwikkelingsterapie (NOT) behandelingsbenadering wydeverspreid gebraik word in die behandeling van kinders met serebrale verlamming, is daar huidiglik baie min gedokumenteerde navorsing om die effektiwiteit daarvan te staaf. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die effektitiwiteit van NOT te evalueer met betrekking tot die impak daarvan op die motoriese funksie van ‘n groep van 10 kinders met serebrale verlamming. ‘n Veelvuldige eenvoudige enkeling -subjek raamwerk is gebruik waarvolgens die kinders elk as hul eie kontrolegoep ageer het. ‘n 5-weke basislyn fase, waartydens die kinders aan geen intervensies onderwerp is nie, is gevolg deur ‘n 5-weke intervensie fase waartydens die kinders twee keer per week NOT behandeling ontvang het. Die kinders is geevalueer aan die begin en einde van elke fase met die Oorhoofse Motoriese Funksie Maatstaf (OMFM)/Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), asook ‘n evalueringsmaatstaf genaamd TELER, wat die bepaling van geindivualiseerde resultate moontlik gemaak het. Die groep kinders het geen statistics bewese vordering in motoriese fiinksies getoon volgens beide die evalueringsmaatstawwe tydens die basislyn fase van die studie nie. Daarteenoor het die groep tydens die intervensie fase oorhoofs gesproke statistics bewese vordering getoon met betrekking tot beide die OMFM en die TELER. Nege uit die 10 kinders het groter vordering getoon met hul totale OMFM resultate tydens die intervensie fase as gedurende die basislyn fase. A1 die kinders het tegelykertyd ‘n groter hoeveelheid substantiewe kliniese verbeterings getoon met betrekking tot hul TELER uitkomste. NOT was voordelig en nuttig in terme van die verbetering van motoriese funksie in die groep van serebraal verlamde kinders.

Full textThe extent to which customers are satified with the care they receive from the health professionals has been an important area of interest for researchers, managers and health care workers. The physiotherapy cerebral palsy clinic at Mulago Hospital in Kampala Uganda provides physiotherapy services for parents caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. The parents caregivers visit the clinic seeking physiotherapy services that will address their problems and those of the child. The purpose of this study was to explore the satisfaction that the parents caregivers of children with cerebral palsy get from utilising the physiotherapy services at the clinic and to identify the barriers problems that they encounter that might affect their attendance.

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation was (1) to investigate the effects of dual task conditions on the development of postural control during gait in typically developing children while walking and obstacle crossing, and (2) to investigate the attentional requirements of gait in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Forty younger and older typically developing (YTD and OTD) children and 10 children with CP performed a gait task with and without a concurrently auditory Stroop task. Gait and cognitive performance were measured. In study 1, dual task interference with gait performance was found in YTD and OTD children, but not in healthy young adults (HYA). In general, gait performance decrements under dual task contexts were greater in YTD than OTD children, whereas cognitive performance decrements during dual tasking were not different between the two groups of children. Dual task interference was lowest in HYA and highest in YTD children when compared among groups. As the difficulty of the gait task was increased, dual task affects on cognitive performance were now found in YTD and OTD children, but not HYA. In study 2, there were significant differences in dual task interference affecting gait performance in all groups of children. When performing the gait task with a concurrent auditory Stroop task, OTD children showed greater dual-task costs than children with CP for accuracy, but children with CP demonstrated greater dual-task costs than OTD and YTD children for medial Center of Mass-Ankle-joint-center inclination angle. This increased medio-lateral inclination angle in dual task situations has also been seen in older adults with balance deficits and may be associated with an increased risk for falls. YTD children showed dual-task costs in a slowing of gait velocity and stride time, a safer strategy than that used by children with CP. The lower cognitive performance during dual tasking for OTD children suggests that they allocate greater attention to maintain gait stability, whereas YTD children and children with CP do not. In addition, children with CP use a behavior that may increase their risk of falls in complex environments. This dissertation includes unpublished co-authored material.

Full textThe primary objective of the study was to examine whether specific intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of the child were associated with responsiveness to BTX. The results indicate that age, number of treatments, parenting stress and child's motivation were associated with the degree of change in gait pattern, level of ambulation, gross motor function and functional independence. The findings suggest that the contribution of contextual factors (personal and environmental) on responsiveness to BTX is underappreciated in children with mild CP. Identification of potential factors contributing to responsiveness to BTX will assist clinicians in identifying children who would benefit most from this procedure.

Full textA reliable sensory battery, which assesses 5 sensory modalities, was formulated and normative data for school-age children was derived. Sensory function was evaluated in 9 hemiplegic children (4-19 years) and 18 healthy age-matched controls. Significant bilateral sensory deficits were documented in hemiplegic children. Thus a sensory assessment should be an integral part of the evaluation of a child with hemiplegia.

Full textLes enfants avec paralysie cérébrale (PC) constituent un groupe clinique fortement hétérogène, tant au point de vue de l'étiologie que des caractéristiques cliniques. Malgré les efforts de recherche qui ont été déployés dans plusieurs études pour examiner les stratégies de réadaptation visant l'amélioration de la fonction du membre supérieur chez les enfants avec PC, il demeure que la confiance démontrée envers la validité de ces résultats est encore de modérée à faible. Une des limites notées dans la littérature est reliée au type de variables qui sont mesurées : ces variables ne seraient pas assez sensibles pour détecter des changements ou ces études ne décriraient pas la qualité du mouvement. Cette évaluation objective de la qualité de mouvement peut être réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'analyses cinématiques ou cinétiques. La description de la qualité du mouvement est considérée primordiale, puisque des lésions cérébrales en bas âge sont plus susceptibles d'amener une plasticité « maladaptative » et donc d'engendrer des mouvements anormaux.Le premier objectif de cette recherche prospective à protocoles individuels est de déterminer les effets de 2 stratégies de réadaptation visant la qualité du mouvement du membre supérieur: la contrainte du bras et la restriction du tronc, réalisées respectivement dans le contexte d'une intervention par contrainte modifiée (mCIT) et d'une intervention orientée vers la tâche. Globalement, les variables cinématiques mesurées dans ces protocoles comprennent les trajectoires de la main, les angles articulaires du bras et le déplacement du tronc vers l'avant. Deux échelles de mesure cliniques reliées à la qualité du mouvement du bras ont aussi été utilisées : le QUEST (étude mCIT) et le Melboune assessment (intervention orientée vers la tâche).

Full textSelf-concept is a driving force, (Barongo & Nyamwange, 2013: 7) and Harter (1998: 559) pointed out that improved self-concept is an important means to enhance other desirable outcomes like, self-acceptance and academic improvement. The purpose of this study was therefore to explore the self-concept of adolescent learners with cerebral palsy in special schools in Limpopo Province, to check their level of selfconcept. The objectives of this study were to determine if cerebral palsy affects the self-concept of these learners, to measure their level of self-concept and to find out if intervention improves their self-concept. The sample was selected by means of random sampling. The Self Descriptive Questionnaire (SDQ) with nine subscales was administered to a group of participants, 65 adolescent learners with cerebral palsy, (30 males and 35 females) at the three special schools; Helena Franz, Letaba and Tšhilizini. The questionnaire was administered to the respondents twice, before and after intervention. Pre-test and post-test were done at Helena Franz Special School since it was the only high school among the three special schools catering for cerebral palsied learners in Limpopo Province. The empirical investigation revealed that the self-concept of adolescents with cerebral palsy in special schools in Limpopo Province is not negative but just leaning in the direction of the positive judgments. It further indicated that cerebral palsy affects the self-concept of the adolescent learners and that intervention has a positive impact on the self-concept of adolescent learners with cerebral palsy
