简要总结
Ataxic cerebral palsy is an abnormal movement or posture pattern accompanied by a loss of coordinated muscle action, resulting in movements that lack proper force, rhythm, or accuracy. Ataxic CP is classified into cerebellar ataxia and ataxic diplegia.
In Cerebellar Ataxia, the cerebellum is hypo-plastic or malformed which impairs the integration of brain signals required for coordinating coordinated movement and balance. This study aimed to determine the effect of HABIT-ILE on the balance and coordination of children with cerebellar ataxic cerebral palsy.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of this study are:
- To determine the effect of HABIT-ILE on the coordination of children with cerebellar ataxic cerebral palsy.
- To determine the effect of HABIT-ILE on the balance of children with cerebellar ataxic cerebral palsy.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental group
HABIT-ILE is continuous intervention applied for 50-90 hours over two weeks. We will design the activities based on the findings of the initial assessments (T0) T0he customized functional goals that were previously discussed with the parents (e.g., drinking on one's own without spilling, using one hand to hold a book while turning pages with the other, removing a t-shirt, etc.).
The whole environment is arranged in such a way that children perceive the therapy as fun.
Progression of difficulty depend upon success in performance of current level. Specific bi-manual activities are selected on basis of child's motor abilities, age and interest.
干预措施: Hand Arm Bimanual Intensive therapy including lower extremity (HABIT-ILE) (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Balance
时间窗: 2 weeks
A modified version of the Berg Balance Scale, the Pediatric Balance Scale is used to evaluate school-age children\'s functional balance abilities. The 14 items on the scale have a maximum score of 56 points and are rated from 0 (lowest function) to 4 (highest function).
Coordination
时间窗: 2 weeks
Method for evaluating ataxia is SARA, which consists of eight categories, each category is scored from 0 (no ataxia) to 40 (severe ataxia) based on the performance.
