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...

Using the gross motor function measure evolution ratio to compare different dosage of hyperbaric treatment with conventional therapies in children with cerebral palsy – could it end the controversy?
ConclusionThe analysis of the included studies with the GMFMER showed that hyperbaric treatment can result in progress of gross motor function more than other recognized treatments in children with cerebral palsy. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Social, Emotional and Behavioral Problems in Children With Foreign Body Ingestion: A Case Control Study
CONCLUSION: Younger children with foreign body ingestion screened significantly higher for behavioral and emotional problems compared to controls. Hyperactivity was an important predictor factor for foreign body aspiration.PMID:38449280 (Source: Indian Pediatrics)

Limited associations between passive range of motion and gross motor function in ambulant/semi-ambulant children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: A cross-sectional study
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood motor disability, and the Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Program (CPUP) in Nordic countries uses a traffic light system for passive range of motion (ROM) assessment to aid interpretation and guide decisions regarding interventions. However, the arbitrary chosen ROM threshold values and their potential clinical impact are uncertain. We investigated whether lower extremity ROM values were positively associated with gross motor function and whether gross motor function scores differ between the CPUP ROM thresholds.

The psychosocial impact of eye-gaze assistive technology on everyday life of children and adults
CONCLUSIONS: Participants considered EGAT to have high positive impacts for participation and quality of life. The study adds new knowledge in that high positive psychosocial impact may be found even among low-duration users of EGAT, which is important to consider for service providers.PMID:38442288 | DOI:10.1080/07853890.2024.2318397 (Source: Annals of Medicine)
