Therapeutic practice was more effective than sensorimotor-based intervention at improving handwriting performance. Children who received sensorimotor intervention improved in some sensorimotor components but also experienced a clinically meaningful decline in handwriting performance.
Although unique challenges with fMRI data collection exist for this population, it provides potentially valuable information to better understand mechanisms of change after interventions such as CIMT.
The findings from this case report suggest that CIMT was a safe intervention associated with improving upper-limb function for this young child with hemiplegia.
This most current evidence regarding the effect of dosage on motor function for children with CP suggests that there is insufficient evidence to support implementing high-dosage therapy. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between dosage variables on motor function for children with CP.
Background: A cost effective tool for the measurement of trunk reposition sense is needed clinically. This study evaluates the reliability and validity of a new clinical spine reposition sense device.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
