Non-immersive virtual reality based treatment for children with unilateral cerebral palsy: Preliminary results
CONCLUSION: The results show that VR treatment with the VITAMIN platform could be engaging and functional for rehabilitation of children with UCP. The good agreement among the qualitative and quantitative measures and indexes confirms the potential of such novel treatment. However, due to the limited sample size and small number of sessions, further and larger investigations are required to evaluate the effectiveness and to generalize the results.PMID:38489200 | DOI:10.3233/PRM-230028 (Source: Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine)

Measuring Upper Extremity Activity of Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy Using Wrist-Worn Accelerometers: A Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Wrist-worn accelerometry can provide objective information on real-world habitual activity with both arms in children. Accelerometers are nonintrusive, easy to use, and well tolerated by children, and they allow prolonged monitoring of UE activity outside therapeutic contexts. Occupational therapists can use wrist-worn accelerometers as sensitive tools to assess asymmetries in UE use at baseline and as an outcome measure to assess the efficacy of behavioral interventions and carryover into real-world settings among children with UCP. Plain-Language Summary: This pilot study provides promising evi...

Temporal Trends in Severe Brain Injury and Associated Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants
CONCLUSION: Neither the rates of SBI nor its associated composite outcome of death or NDI improved over time. A notable proportion of preterm infants with SBI faced redirection of care and subsequent mortality, while most survivors exhibited adverse neurodevelopmental challenges. The development of better therapeutic interventions is imperative to improve outcomes for these vulnerable infants.PMID:38471459 | DOI:10.1159/000537801 (Source: Neonatology)

Muscle synergy-informed neuromusculoskeletal modelling to estimate knee contact forces in children with cerebral palsy
This study developed and evaluated a muscle synergy-informed neuromusculoskeletal modelling approach using EMG recordings from three to four muscles to estimate joint moments and knee contact forces of children with CP and typically developing (TD) children during walking. Using only three to four experimental EMG sensors attached to a single leg and leveraging an EMG database of walking data of TD children, the synergy-informed approach estimated total knee contact forces comparable to those estimated by EMG-assisted approaches that used 13 EMG sensors (children with CP, n = 3, R2 = 0.95 ± 0.01, RMSE = 0.40 ± 0.14 BW; T...
