Abstract
We compared children with hemiplegic and diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) using the conceptual framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health: Child and Youth version (ICF-CY). We enrolled 42 children with CP aged 5 - 13 years old (M age = 9.57, SD = 2.8 years). We assessed their trunk control and dynamic balance with the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), and we used ABILHAND-Kids and Assessment of Life Habits (Life-H) to assess their manual ability and participation with activities of daily living. We administered the European Child Environment Questionnaire (ECEQ) to identify relevant environmental factors. We employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to identify specific factors contributing to potential differences between these CP groups. Children with hemiplegic CP demonstrated significantly better outcomes in terms of trunk control, dynamic balance, and environmental factors compared to those with diplegic CP (p < .05). In contrast, children with diplegic CP demonstrated superior outcomes regarding manual ability, compared to those with hemiplegic CP (p < .001). In our structural equation models, trunk control strongly predicted both dynamic balance (0.75) and environmental factors (0.74). Moreover, the relationships between trunk control and participation in daily and social activities were 0.54 and 0.47, respectively. Impaired trunk control and dynamic balance were significant contributors to increased activity restrictions and environmental barriers in children with diplegic CP. This suggests that improving disability and functioning in children with diplegic CP requires a focus on trunk control training and dynamic balance exercises.

Abstract
Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of video-based exercises added to conventional physiotherapy (CPT) on upper extremity functionality, selective motor control, and proprioception in individuals with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with UCP were randomized into two groups: the intervention group (15 individuals with a mean age of 9.2 ± 3.8 years) and the control group (15 individuals with a mean age of 8.3 ± 4.1 years). The intervention group received 8 weeks of video-based exercises, and the control group received 8 weeks of conventional physiotherapy. Upper extremity functional abilities, upper extremity selective motor control, proprioception, and entertainment levels were evaluated before and after the intervention for all groups. Results: While a significant change was observed in the mean scores of the ABILHAND-Kids, Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale right-left scores, shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, and elbow flexion proprioception angles after the video-based exercises in the intervention group (P < 0.05), a significant change was observed only in the 60-degree flexion angle in the control group (P = 0.001). In the comparison between the groups, there were significant differences in post-intervention value only in shoulder flexion and abduction angles, whereas there was no difference between the groups in elbow flexion angles (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Incorporating video-based exercises into the upper extremity rehabilitation processes of individuals with UCP is beneficial in terms of upper extremity functionality, selective motor control, and proprioception.

Motor function and gait decline in individuals with cerebral palsy during adulthood: a narrative review of potential physiological determinants. Eur J Appl Physiol 2024:10.1007/s00421-024-05550-y. [PMID: 39042142 DOI: 10.1007/s00421-024-05550-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood-onset disability. The evolution of gait according to severity is well known amongst children and thought to peak between 8 and 12 years of age among those walking without assistive devices. However, among adults, clinical experience as well as scientific studies report, through clinical assessments, questionnaires and interviews, increasing walking difficulties leading to an increased dependency of assistive devices in everyday ambulation. For many individuals with CP, this change will occur around 30-40 years, with the risk of losing mobility increasing with age. This narrative review aims to first provide objective evidence of motor function and gait decline in adults with CP when ageing, and then to offer mechanistic hypotheses to explain those alterations. Many studies have compared individuals with CP to the typically developing population, yet the evolution with ageing has largely been understudied. Comorbid diagnoses comprise one of the potential determinants of motor function and gait decline with ageing in people with CP, with the first manifestations happening at an early age and worsening with ageing. Similarly, ageing appears to cause alterations to the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems at an earlier age than their typically developing (TD) peers. Future studies should, however, try to better understand how the physiological particularities of CP change with ageing that could pave the way for better strategies for maintaining function and quality of life in people with CP.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the efficacy, safety, and impact on quality of life (QoL) of an oral formulation of 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium designed for children. METHOD A double-blind, placebo-controlled SALIVA (Sialanar plus orAl rehabiLitation against placebo plus oral rehabilitation for chIldren and adolescents with seVere sialorrhoeA and neurodisabilities) trial was conducted. Children (3-17 years) with neurodisabilities and severe sialorrhoea (modified Teachers Drooling Scale ≥6) were randomized to 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium or placebo, in addition to non-pharmacological standard care. RESULTS Of 87 participants, 44 were aged 10 years or under and 43 had cerebral palsy. The primary endpoint, change in total Drooling Impact Scale (DIS) score from baseline to day 84, was significantly greater (improved) with 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium versus placebo (median [quartile 1, quartile 3] -29.5 [-44.5, 0] vs -1 [-16, 5]; p < 0.001), an effect also observed at day 28 (median - 25 vs -2; p < 0.01). Significant reduction in bibs/clothes used per day was seen with glycopyrronium versus placebo at day 84 (median - 2 vs 0; p < 0.01). Glycopyrronium significantly improved DIS items 9 and 10 related to the extent that drooling affects the child's and family's life (p ≤ 0.03). Adverse events were reported by 77.3% and 69.8% of children with glycopyrronium and placebo respectively; the most common treatment-related adverse event was constipation (20.5% and 16.3%). INTERPRETATION The formulation of 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium significantly improved drooling and reduced its impact on QoL, with good tolerability in children with neurodisabilities. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS The formulation of 320 μg/mL glycopyrronium significantly improved Drooling Impact Scale score versus placebo at day 84. The formulation reduced the impact of drooling on the child's and family's quality of life. There were no safety or tolerability concerns with this specific formulation.

Robot-assisted gait training improves walking and cerebral connectivity in children with unilateral cerebral palsy. Pediatr Res 2024:10.1038/s41390-024-03240-1. [PMID: 38769400 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03240-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is promising to help walking rehabilitation in cerebral palsy, but training-induced neuroplastic effects have little been investigated. METHODS Forty unilateral cerebral palsy children aged 4-18 years were randomly allocated in a monocentric study to ten 20-minute RAGT sessions with the G-EO system, five days a week (n = 20) or to a control group (who continued conventional care with six 30-minute physiotherapy sessions, three days a week) (n = 20), two weeks running, from September 2020 to December 2021. Clinical and MRI outcomes were compared before and one month after therapy. The primary outcome was gait speed. Secondary outcomes were a 6-minute walking test distance, Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) dimensions D and E, Patient Global Impression of Improvement, resting-state functional connectivity within the sensorimotor network, and structural connectivity in the corticospinal tracts. RESULTS Gait speed and the 6-minute walking test distance improved more after RAGT. Resting-state functional connectivity increased after RAGT but decreased in controls between superior and lateral healthy or lateral injured sensorimotor networks. GMFM-88 and structural connectivity in corticospinal tracts were unchanged. Impression of improvement in children was better after RAGT. CONCLUSION Short-term benefit of repetitive RAGT on walking abilities and functional cerebral connectivity was found in unilateral cerebral palsy children. IMPACT STATEMENT Short-term repetitive robot-assisted gait training improves gait speed and walking resistance and increases cerebral functional connectivity in unilateral cerebral palsy. GMFM dimensions D and E were unchanged after short-term repetitive robot-assisted gait training in unilateral cerebral palsy.

A systematic review of instrumented assessments for upper limb function in cerebral palsy: current limitations and future directions. J Neuroeng Rehabil 2024; 21:56. [PMID: 38622731 PMCID: PMC11020208 DOI: 10.1186/s12984-024-01353-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, interest in quantifying upper limb function in cerebral palsy has grown. However, the lack of reference tasks and protocols, have hindered the development of quantified movement analysis in clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate existing instrumented assessments of upper limb function in cerebral palsy, with a focus on their clinical applicability, to identify reasons for the lack of adoption and provide recommendations for improving clinical relevance and utility. METHODS A systematic review was conducted by a multidisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians (Prospero CRD42023402382). PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched using relevant keywords and inclusion/exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 657 articles were initially identified, and after the selection process, 76 records were included for analysis comprising a total of 1293 patients with cerebral palsy. The quality assessment of the reviewed studies revealed a moderate overall quality, with deficiencies in sample size justification and participant information. Optoelectronic motion capture systems were predominantly used in the studies (N = 57/76). The population mainly consisted of individuals with spastic cerebral palsy (834/1293) with unilateral impairment (N = 1092/1293). Patients with severe functional impairment (MACS IV and V) were underrepresented with 3.4% of the 754 patients for whom the information was provided. Thirty-nine tasks were used across the articles. Most articles focused on unimanual activities (N = 66/76) and reach or reach and grasp (N = 51/76). Bimanual cooperative tasks only represented 3 tasks present in 4 articles. A total of 140 different parameters were identified across articles. Task duration was the most frequently used parameter and 23% of the parameters were used in only one article. CONCLUSION Further research is necessary before incorporating quantified motion analysis into clinical practice. Existing protocols focus on extensively studied populations and rely on costly equipment, limiting their practicality. Standardized unimanual tasks provide limited insights into everyday arm use. Balancing methodological requirements and performance evaluation flexibility is a challenge. Exploring the correlation between outcome parameters and therapeutic guidance could facilitate the integration of quantified movement assessment into treatment pathways.

Serious Game with Electromyography Feedback and Physical Therapy in Young Children with Unilateral Spastic Cerebral Palsy and Equinus Gait: A Prospective Open-Label Study. SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:1513. [PMID: 38475049 DOI: 10.3390/s24051513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The clinical effects of a serious game with electromyography feedback (EMGs_SG) and physical therapy (PT) was investigated prospectively in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). An additional aim was to better understand the influence of muscle shortening on function. Thirty children with USCP (age 7.6 ± 2.1 years) received four weeks of EMGs_SG sessions 2×/week including repetitive, active alternating training of dorsi- and plantar flexors in a seated position. In addition, each child received usual PT treatment ≤ 2×/week, involving plantar flexor stretching and command strengthening on dorsi- and plantar flexors. Five-Step Assessment parameters, including preferred gait velocity (normalized by height); plantar flexor extensibility (XV1); angle of catch (XV3); maximal active ankle dorsiflexion (XA); and derived coefficients of shortening, spasticity, and weakness for both soleus and gastrosoleus complex (GSC) were compared pre and post treatment (t-tests). Correlations were explored between the various coefficients and gait velocities at baseline. After four weeks of EMGs_SG + PT, there was an increase in normalized gait velocity from 0.72 ± 0.13 to 0.77 ± 0.13 m/s (p = 0.025, d = 0.43), a decrease in coefficients of shortening (soleus, 0.10 ± 0.07 pre vs. 0.07 ± 0.08 post, p = 0.004, d = 0.57; GSC 0.16 ± 0.08 vs. 0.13 ± 0.08, p = 0.003, d = 0.58), spasticity (soleus 0.14 ± 0.06 vs. 0.12 ± 0.07, p = 0.02, d = 0.46), and weakness (soleus 0.14 ± 0.07 vs. 0.11 ± 0.07, p = 0.005, d = 0.55). At baseline, normalized gait velocity correlated with the coefficient of GSC shortening (R = -0.43, p = 0.02). Four weeks of EMGs_SG and PT were associated with improved gait velocity and decreased plantar flexor shortening. A randomized controlled trial comparing EMGs_SG and conventional PT is needed.

Neuroimage Clin 2024; 41:103568. [PMID: 38277807 PMCID: PMC10832504 DOI: 10.1016/j.nicl.2024.103568] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) is a common model to study the impact of a unilateral early brain insult on developmental brain plasticity and the appearance of long-term outcomes. Motor difficulties that may arise are typically related to poor function of the affected (contra-lesioned) hand, but surprisingly also of the ipsilesional hand. Although many longitudinal studies after NAIS have shown that predicting the occurrence of gross motor difficulties is easier, accurately predicting hand motor function (for both hands) from morphometric MRI remains complicated. The hypothesis of an association between the structural organization of the basal ganglia (BG) and thalamus with hand motor function seems intuitive given their key role in sensorimotor function. Neuroimaging studies have frequently investigated these structures to evaluate the correlation between their volumes and motor function following early brain injury. However, the results have been controversial. We hypothesize the involvement of other structural parameters. METHOD The study involves 35 children (mean age 7.3 years, SD 0.4) with middle cerebral artery NAIS who underwent a structural T1-weighted 3D MRI and clinical examination to assess manual dexterity using the Box and Blocks Test (BBT). Graphs are used to represent high-level structural information of the BG and thalami (volumes, elongations, distances) measured from the MRI. A graph neural network (GNN) is proposed to predict children's hand motor function through a graph regression. To reduce the impact of external factors on motor function (such as behavior and cognition), we calculate a BBT score ratio for each child and hand. RESULTS The results indicate a significant correlation between the score ratios predicted by our method and the actual score ratios of both hands (p < 0.05), together with a relatively high accuracy of prediction (mean L1 distance < 0.03). The structural information seems to have a different influence on each hand's motor function. The affected hand's motor function is more correlated with the volume, while the 'unaffected' hand function is more correlated with the elongation of the structures. Experiments emphasize the importance of considering the whole macrostructural organization of the basal ganglia and thalami networks, rather than the volume alone, to predict hand motor function. CONCLUSION There is a significant correlation between the structural characteristics of the basal ganglia/thalami and motor function in both hands. These results support the use of MRI macrostructural features of the basal ganglia and thalamus as an early biomarker for predicting motor function in both hands after early brain injury.

Changes Induced by Early Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities in Young Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Pediatr 2024; 178:19-28. [PMID: 37930692 PMCID: PMC10628844 DOI: 10.1001/jamapediatrics.2023.4809] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
Importance Intensive interventions are provided to young children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP), classically focused on the upper extremity despite the frequent impairment of gross motor function. Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) effectively improves manual dexterity and gross motor function in school-aged children. Objective To verify if HABIT-ILE would improve manual abilities in young children with UCP more than usual motor activity. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective randomized clinical trial (November 2018 to December 2021), including 2 parallel groups and a 1:1 allocation, recruitment took place at European university hospitals, cerebral palsy specialized centers, and spontaneous applications at 3 sites: Brussels, Belgium; Brest, France; and Pisa, Italy. Matched (age at inclusion, lesion type, cause of cerebral palsy, and affected side) pairs randomization was performed. Young children were assessed at baseline (T0), 2 weeks after baseline (T1), and 3 months after baseline (T2). Health care professionals and assessors of main outcomes were blinded to group allocation. At least 23 young children (in each group) aged 12 to 59 months with spastic/dyskinetic UCP and able to follow instructions were needed. Exclusion criteria included uncontrolled seizures, scheduled botulinum toxin injections, orthopedic surgery scheduled during the 6 months before or during the study period, severe visual/cognitive impairments, or contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging. Interventions Two weeks of usual motor activity including usual rehabilitation (control group) vs 2 weeks (50 hours) of HABIT-ILE (HABIT-ILE group). Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome: Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA); secondary outcomes: Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66), Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory-Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT), and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Results Of 50 recruited young children (26 girls [52%], median age; 35.3 months for HABIT-ILE group; median age, 32.8 months for control group), 49 were included in the final analyses. Change in AHA score from T0 to T2 was significantly greater in the HABIT-ILE group (adjusted mean score difference [MD], 5.19; 95% CI, 2.84-7.55; P < .001). Changes in GMFM-66 (MD, 4.72; 95% CI, 2.66-6.78), PEDI-CAT daily activities (MD, 1.40; 95% CI, 0.29-2.51), COPM performance (MD, 3.62; 95% CI, 2.91-4.32), and satisfaction (MD, 3.53; 95% CI, 2.70-4.36) scores were greater in the HABIT ILE group. Conclusions and Relevance In this clinical trial, early HABIT-ILE was shown to be an effective treatment to improve motor performance in young children with UCP. Moreover, the improvements had an impact on daily life activities of these children. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04020354.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (NAIS) is the most frequent subtype of perinatal stroke. Its elusive pathophysiology, its abrupt and unexpected occurrence, and the uncertainty of the post-NAIS developmental condition may lead to parental emotional distress and psychological difficulties. The aim of this study was to summarize the current data on long-term developmental conditions following NAIS to support parental information given within the neonatal unit. METHODS This systematic review included clinical studies of term infants with NAIS, who had a developmental assessment at ≥5 years of age. Studies were identified from the Medline and Embase databases on June 1, 2022. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) appraisal tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Results were synthesized using a narrative approach. The 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was followed to report this work. RESULTS Three cohort studies enrolling 205 children assessed from 5 to 7 years after NAIS were included. Most of the children presented long-term developmental conditions allowing them to be integrated into a regular school program, to participate in physical activities, and to have a good quality of life. Global intellectual deficiency and moderate-to-severe cerebral palsy occurred in less than 10% of the children. CONCLUSION Physicians should not overestimate the incidence of moderate-to-severe developmental outcome following NAIS when discussing the prognosis with parents. A parental information sheet about NAIS and its long-term developmental conditions is provided.

Assistive Products and Technology to Facilitate Activities and Participation for Children with Disabilities. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:2086. [PMID: 36767453 PMCID: PMC9915405 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20032086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
We aimed to identify activity limitations and participation restrictions encountered by children and youth with disabilities for which assistive products and technology could be helpful. We used a convergent, parallel, mixed-methods design involving a nationwide, French survey composed of closed questions (quantitative) and open questions (qualitative) that enlightened the quantitative data. A total of 1055 responses were received, and 962 included: 92 from children and youth with disabilities, 493 from relatives and 377 from professionals. Difficulties frequently checked and described in detail were participation in recreational activities, leaving the house and traveling, participating in a group, and getting ready. Transversal explanations for difficulties were spontaneously provided (e.g., lack of accessibility and mobility). Solutions proposed included personal assistive devices to facilitate home life, high-tech devices, devices to compensate for impaired body functions, and adaptation of the familiar environment and daily activities. Few public solutions were proposed. The necessity of human assistance was emphasized. The mixed-methods design and involvement of different stakeholders identified common, macroscopic trends in difficulties encountered and desired solutions. Products and technology are required in the following domains: the familiar environment, accessibility and mobility, sports and leisure, high-technology, and family support. We provide suggestions to facilitate the development of innovative solutions.

Safety and adherence of pressure garment therapy in children with upper limb unilateral cerebral palsy. Results from a randomized clinical trial ancillary analysis. Front Pediatr 2023; 11:1043350. [PMID: 37025290 PMCID: PMC10071041 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2023.1043350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study was conducted to assess the safety and adherence of the use of a PGT (Pressure Garment Therapy) Lycra® sleeve to treat upper limb unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP) in children. Methods This study was conducted as a prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, randomized monocenter study. Included in the study were 58 UCP children, 49 of whom were analyzed. 25 children (mean age 6.6 ± 1.6 years; 12 girls) were allocated to the active group vs. 24 (mean age 6.7 ± 1.6 years; 10 girls) in the placebo group. The intervention consisted of an active PGT Lycra® arm sleeve manufactured to generate a homogeneous pressure ranging from 15 to 25 mmHg. The placebo PGT Lycra® sleeve was manufactured to generate a homogeneous pressure under 7 mmHg. The time of wearing period was set at 3 h/day at minimum and 6 h/day at maximum, over the course of 6 months. The main outcome measures were safety outcomes including the number and intensity of Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs). AESIs were defined as adverse events imputable to compressive therapy and Lycra® wearing. Level of adherence was expressed in percentage of number of days when the sleeve was worn for at least 3 h per day compared to length of duration in days (start and end date of wearing period). Results Frequency of AESIs were very low and no different between groups (4.12 ± 11.32% vs. 1.83 ± 3.38%; p = 0.504). There were no differences in adherence (91.86 ± 13.86% vs. 94.30 ± 9.95%; p = 0.425). Conclusion The use of PGT Lycra® arm sleeve in children with UCP is safe and well-tolerated with a very good adherence. The low rate of AESIs is promising for further randomized clinical trials on efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral palsy is a life-long condition that causes heterogeneous motor disorders. Motor rehabilitation interventions must be adapted to the topography of the symptoms, ambulatory capacity and age of the individual. Current guidelines do not differentiate between the different profiles of individuals with cerebral palsy, which limits their implementation. OBJECTIVES To develop evidence-based, implementable guidelines for motor rehabilitation interventions for individuals with cerebral palsy according to the age, topography of the cerebral palsy and ambulatory capacity of the individual, and to determine a level of priority for each intervention. METHODS We used a mixed methods design that combined a systematic review of the literature on available motor rehabilitation interventions with expert opinions. Based on the French National Authority for Health methodology, recommendations were graded as strong, conditional or weak. Interventions were then prioritized by the experts according to both the evidence and their own opinions on relevance and implementability to provide a guide for clinicians. All recommendations were approved by experts who were independent from the working group. RESULTS Strong recommendations as first-line treatments were made for gait training, physical activities and hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy for all children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. Moderate recommendations were made against passive joint mobilizations, muscle stretching, prolonged stretching with the limb fixed, and neurodevelopmental therapies for all children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. Strong recommendations as first-line treatments were made for gait training for all adults with cerebral palsy and moderate recommendations as moderate importance interventions for strengthening exercises and ankle-foot orthoses for motor impairment of the feet and the ankles. DISCUSSION These guidelines, which combine research evidence and expert opinion, could help individuals with cerebral palsy and their families to co-determine rehabilitation goals with health professionals, according to their preferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in the United States die much earlier than those without CP, a health inequality likely shaped by causes of death. Existing research has not considered demographic differences in mortality patterns. OBJECTIVES To analyze differences in cause of death for adults who did/did not have CP reported on their death certificates and to assess sex and racial-ethnic difference in causes of death among adult decedents with CP. METHODS Data are from the 2013-2017 US Multiple Cause of Death Mortality files (N = 13,332,871; n = 13,897 with CP). Multiple logistic regression models were used to compare differences in causes of death between adults with and without CP and to determine sex and racial-ethnic differences in causes of death among adults with CP. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. RESULTS As compared with decedents without CP, those with CP were more likely to die from pneumonitis (aOR 31.14, 95% CI 29.42-32.96), influenza/pneumonia (8.78, 8.30-9.29), respiratory failure (17.24, 15.19-18.69), and choking (20.66, 18.86-22.62) and less likely to die from heart disease (0.61, 0.58-0.65), cancer (0.12, 0.11-0.13), chronic lower respiratory diseases (0.50, 0.44-0.56), and cerebrovascular diseases (0.66, 0.59-0.75). Among adults with CP, female decedents were more likely than males to die from respiratory failure (1.21, 1.03-1.42), and non-Hispanic Black decedents were more likely than non-Hispanic White decedents to die from heart disease (1.24, 1.07-1.45) and cerebrovascular disease (1.77, 1.29-2.49). CONCLUSIONS In 2013-2017, heart disease was the leading cause of death for adults with and without CP. However, for people with compared to those without CP, likelihood of death from likely preventable respiratory causes of death was higher. Non-Hispanic Black adults were more likely than non-Hispanic White adults to die from heart and cerebrovascular diseases. Public health, clinical, and rehabilitation efforts must use a multifaceted approach to address respiratory and circulatory health among people with CP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present a case of possible paralysis from early modern Vilnius and to discuss the potential level of care that was provided in the society of that time. MATERIALS A partially disturbed skeleton of a young female from a 16th-17th century Orthodox Christian cemetery. METHODS Macroscopic, osteometric and X-ray examinations coupled with a literature review aimed at providing a differential diagnosis. RESULTS The skeletal remains showed signs of disuse atrophy most probably due to a neurological disorder acquired in the woman's late teens. Differentials suggest that the observed limb atrophy was most likely a consequence of poliomyelitis. CONCLUSIONS The case of a young female with paralysis presented in this paper could serve as an example of care provided by her household. SIGNIFICANCE This study substantially contributes to further understanding of the nature and quality of care provided to disabled individuals in their households even in the absence of written sources. LIMITATIONS There is a degree of diagnostic ambiguity due to the application of routine clinical criteria to paleopathological cases. SUGGESTIONS FOR FURTHER RESEARCH The article makes several recommendations for future research, e.g., systematic investigation of possible cases of bone atrophy in a broader sociocultural context, as well as searching for evidence of gastrointestinal infections, especially poliomyelitis, supplemented by the application of biomolecular technologies.

COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2022; 214:106563. [PMID: 34890993 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2021.106563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2021] [Revised: 11/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In order to study neural plasticity in immature brain following early brain lesion, large animal model are needed. Because of its morphological similarities with the human developmental brain, piglet is a suitable but little used one. Its study from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) requires the development of automatic algorithms for the segmentation of the different structures and tissues. A crucial preliminary step consists in automatically segmenting the brain. METHODS We propose a fully automatic brain segmentation method applied to piglets by combining a 3D patch-based U-Net and a post-processing pipeline for spatial regularization and elimination of false positives. Our approach also integrates a transfer-learning strategy for managing an automated longitudinal monitoring evaluated for four developmental stages (2, 6, 10 and 18 weeks), facing the issue of MRI changes resulting from the rapid brain development. It is compared to a 2D approach and the Brain Extraction Tool (BET) as well as techniques adapted to other animals (rodents, macaques). The influence of training patches size and distribution is studied as well as the benefits of spatial regularization. RESULTS Results show that our approach is efficient in terms of average Dice score (0.952) and Hausdorff distance (8.51), outperforming the use of a 2D U-Net (Dice: 0.919, Hausdorff distance: 11.06) and BET (Dice: 0.764, Hausdorff distance: 25.91). The transfer-learning strategy achieves a good performance on older piglets (Dice of 0.934 at 6 weeks, 0.956 at 10 weeks and 0.958 at 18 weeks) compared to a standard training strategy with few data (Dice of 0.636 at 6 weeks, 0.907 at 10 weeks, not calculable at 18 weeks because of too few training piglets). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, we provide a method for longitudinal MRI piglet brain segmentation based on 3D U-Net and transfer learning which can be used for future morphometric studies and applied to other animals.
