Seat Cushions Adaptations on Upper Extremity Function In Cerebral Palsy Children

NCT04769102 | Unknown

• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/003018
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 50
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

As the seating adaptations, ranging from simple to complex, standard and customized may facilitate optimal health and maximize functional participation despite limited postural control; the study will be conducted for determine the effect of contoured cushions as a seat adaptation on upper extremity function in children with spastic cerebral palsy and compare between the effect of flat cushion and contoured cushion in adaptive seating system on upper extremity function in children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Conditions

Cerebral Palsy

Keywords

seat cushions, upper extremity , cerebral palsy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Angular kinematic changes in Upper extremity rang of motion in parallel to functional changes will be addressed while seat adaptations( flat and contoured cushions) will be applied for same participant.

  angular kinematic changes ( by degrees) will be measured by kinovea 2D software

  within 30 to 60 minutes

Study Arms (1)

Spastic Cerebral Palsy

EXPERIMENTAL

spastic Cerebral palsy children will be adapted in adaptive seat with flat and then Contoured cushions while kinematic changes of upper limb reaching movement are monitored through video capture with kinovea 2D software motion analysis system.

Device: seat cushions

Interventions

seat cushions DEVICE

flat versus contoured customized seat cushions

Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 3 Years - 6 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• Their age ranged from three to six years old .
• Spasticity ranged from 1+ to 2 grade according to Modified Ashwarth Scale .
• All children should be able to sit on the adaptive seat while head is upright independently and hands are free; preliminary test by Gross Motor Functional Measurement (GMFM) scale ranged score from ( 21 to 25 ) in sitting domain.

You may not qualify if:

• Any child with the following criteria will be directly excluded from the evaluation for the consistency of the sample and statistically obtained results:
• Visual and/or auditory defects which interfere with upper extremity functions.
• Fixed deformity of one or both upper limbs which limit passive ROM in shoulder and elbow.
• Children with mixed type, dyskinetic or ataxic cerebral palsy are excluded.
• surgical intervention in both upper limbs or botulinum toxin injection in the last 6 months before the time of assessment .
• Any recent trauma of one or Both upper limbs.
