Telemonitoring of motor skills using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale for at-risk infants in the first year of life

Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 30(5), P. 885 - 894

Published: June 6, 2022

Remote assessment creates opportunities for monitoring child development at home. Determining the possible barriers to and facilitators of quality telemonitoring motor skills allows safe effective practices. We aimed to: (1) determine quality, Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) home videos made by mothers; (2) verify interrater reliability; (3) association between contextual factors assessments.

Early Intervention Involving Specific Task-Environment-Participation (STEP) Protocol for Infants at Risk: A Feasibility Study

Physical & Occupational Therapy In Pediatrics, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 43(3), P. 303 - 320

Published: Nov. 3, 2022

Aims: To verify the feasibility and preliminary effects of STEP protocol, an intervention based on specific motor skills, environmental factors participation, in infants at biological risk.Methods: Twenty-eight at-risk (STEP Protocol = 14; Standard Intervention 14), aged 3–9 months risk for developmental delay. The following outcomes were assessed: skills (Alberta Infant Motor Scale-AIMS); frequency involvement participation (Young Children's Participation Environment Measure-YC-PEM), home environment opportunities (Affordances Home Development-AHEMD-IS). For both groups, interventions provided by parents. group was principles: (1) standard intervention: stimulation skills; (2) STEP: mother-infant interaction, enrichment. A mean comparison test applied to difference between groups after intervention.Results: protocol showed good retention recruitment rates. had significantly higher AIMS (p 0.014); 0.02) engagement 0.03) when compared intervention.Conclusions: results that is feasible, presents better intervention, which reinforces importance promoting family involvement.

Socially Assistive Robots for Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Meta-Analysis

IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 3(1), P. 21 - 30

Published: Nov. 13, 2020

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common pediatric neurodevelopmental condition in world. Socially assistive robots (SARs) are supportive rehabilitation tools for children with developmental disabilities. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate effectiveness SARs at engaging CP during therapeutic interventions. A search through WoS, IEEE, PubMed, EMBASE, and ACM DL yielded 583 results, which 9 met inclusion criteria. Of studies, 5 unique were evaluated across 24 participants. In general, suggested that can be effectively used engage However, there a clear need future work so SAR designs more accurately meet population's needs.

Cerebral palsy characteristics in term‐born children with and without detectable perinatal risk factors: A cross‐sectional study

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Oct. 15, 2024

Abstract Aim To compare, in term‐born children with cerebral palsy (CP), the characteristics of those who exhibit detectable risk factors for CP at birth do not. Method This was a cross‐sectional study using Canadian Cerebral Palsy Registry comparing and without perinatal and/or neonatal symptoms pregnancy, characteristics, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, subtype, impairment severity. Risk were quantified calculator. Multivariable multinomial regressions expressed as odds ratios (OR) relative ratios. Results Of 1333 children, 781 (58.6%) had complete variables calculator, whom 195 (25%) ‘undetectable’ newborn infant risk, they did not have greater postneonatal brain injury. Focal injury on MRI more common (OR 2.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3–3.1) than ‘detectable’ group. The group unilateral 1.8, CI 1.3–2.6), less severe motor 0.76, 0.67–0.86), verbal 2.3, 1.5–3.6). Interpretation In Registry, one‐quarter lacked encephalopathy, seizures, or factors.

Published: Oct. 25, 2024

A collection of chronic central motor, postural, and activity restriction symptoms are referred to as cerebral palsy (CP). Previous research suggests that a number perinatal variables, including hypoxia, may be linked CP. And the pathophysiological process causes brain injury in growing fetuses is mostly caused by amniotic fluid infection intra-amniotic inflammation. Still, there still much learn about molecular mechanism The goal this study was identify Liuwei Dihuang pill (LWDHP) treatment CP using network pharmacology bioinformatics. Chinese medicine database provided LWDHP components targets, illness gene data set gathered from disease, expression profile children with chosen anther database. Using Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes Genomes ontology databases, interactions between proteins created, functional enrichment analysis carried out. Analysis traditional found key active ingredients quercetin, Stigmasterol kaempferol. Through analysis, it hub genes for CXCL8, MMP9, EGF, PTGS2, SPP1, BCL2L1, MMP1, AR.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the foremost causes childhood motor disability and disrupts individual's development ability to function. Several factors contribute CP such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, infection/inflammation, additional pregnancy complications, both in term infants. As there no specific treatment for CP, rehabilitation current option management patients. The serious nature this condition creates deficits that last a lifetime. We collected studies were published past 10 years, using PubMed our main database. chose relevant stem cell therapy. mainly focused on various types cells can be used treatment, mechanism action (MOA) cells, routes, dosage, adverse effects, their efficacy, safety Of all 38 we reviewed, found five articles discussed utilization human umbilical cord blood [hUCB], four autologous bone marrow allogeneic usage. One article neural stem-like (NSLCs) derived from remaining 27 about its treatment. reviewed detailed information possible therapies benefits patients with CP. immune modulation major among cells. Autologous mesenchymal appear safe most effective compared other treatments. Among symptoms, symptoms are best corrected by Still, it did not show any marked improvement treating like speech defects, sensory or cognitive visual impairment.
