ABSTRACT Objective To understand the perspectives of key stakeholder clinicians in implementing inpatient cycling-based exergames for children with cerebral palsy (CP) into pediatric rehabilitation. Methods Sixteen clinicians (nurses, physiotherapists, recreational therapists) that participated in a study exploring the feasibility of implementing cycling-based exergames for inpatient children with

Exercise intensity of active video gaming in cerebral palsy: hip- versus wrist-worn accelerometer data Dev. Neurorehabil. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-07-11 Pınar Kaya Ciddi, Öznur Yilmaz
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to compare exercise intensity of active video games (AVGs) between hip- and wrist-worn accelerometer data in cerebral palsy (CP). Methods Twenty children and adolescents (9.35 ± 3.71 years) with CP performed two exercise sessions, completing a standardized series of AVGs. Exercise intensity was collected, while one accelerometer was fitted to wrist and hip

Does music induce interbrain synchronization between a non-speaking youth with cerebral palsy (CP), a parent, and a neurologic music therapist? A brief report Dev. Neurorehabil. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-26 Kyurim Kang, Silvia Orlandi, Nicole Lorenzen, Tom Chau, Michael H. Thaut
ABSTRACT Shared emotional experiences during musical activities among musicians can be coupled with brainwave synchronization. For non-speaking individuals with CP, verbal communication may be limited in expressing mutual empathy. Therefore, this case study explored interbrain synchronization among a non-speaking CP (female, 18 yrs), her parent, and a music therapist by measuring their brainwaves simultaneously

Reducing fatigue following acquired brain injury: A feasibility study of high intensity interval training for young adults Dev. Neurorehabil. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-26 Frederik Lehman Dornonville de la Cour, Michelle Barner Bærentzen, Birgitte Forchhammer, Sigrid Tibæk, Anne Norup
ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate feasibility of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in fatigued adults (20–40 years old) with acquired brain injury (ABI). A prospective pre-post single-arm intervention trial was conducted, including 6–8 months follow-up assessment and interview. Intervention was 18 sessions of intermittent exercise on a cycle ergometer over six weeks. Six out of ten participants

Reliability and validity of the Swaymeter for measuring the trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy Dev. Neurorehabil. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-23 Arisa Parameyong, Sirinun Boripuntakul, Nuanlaor Thawinchai, Jitapa Chawawisuttikool, Teerawat Kamnardsiri
ABSTRACT Aims To examine the reliability and validity of a simple device, the Swaymeter, for measuring trunk control in children with CP. Methods Twenty children with spastic CP participated in this study. Trunk sway was measured while quietly sitting for 30s. Children lean forward or backward as far as possible for measuring dynamic balance range. Test–retest reliability was conducted. The concurrent

Agreement Between Alberta Infant Motor Scale Assessment and Maternal Perception of Motor Development in Full-Term Infants Dev. Neurorehabil. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-20 Rosana Silva dos Santos, Amanda Otília Oliveira de Lima Barreto, Maria Carolina Chapellem P Barbosa da Silva, Hugo Ormond Vianna Sá Nogueira, Rodrigo Tosta Peres, Márcia Gonçalves Ribeiro, Halina Cidrini Ferreira
ABSTRACT Objectives To verify the agreement between the Alberta Infant Motor Scale assessment and maternal perception of the motor development in full-term infants. Methods This is a cross-sectional study involving 161 infants and mothers. Children were assessed with the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) for motor developmental classification. Mothers completed questionnaires aiming to identify maternal

Relationship among four functional classification systems and parent interpredicted intelligence level in children with different clinical types of cerebral palsy Dev. Neurorehabil. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2022-03-18 Sefa Unes, Merve Tuncdemir, Cemil Ozal, Ozge Cankaya, Kübra Seyhan Biyik, Kıvanc Delioglu, Ceren Gunbey, Mintaze Kerem Gunel, Banu Anlar
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the relationships between four functional classification systems in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and parent-interpredicted intelligence level, and the functional status in clinical types of CP. Methods Two hundred and twenty-five children with CP ages between 2 and 18 (mean age 6.5 ± 4.4) years included using the Surveillance of CP in Europe (SCPE) database in
