This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study aimed to investigate influences of rigid Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) on gait in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP), immediate effects of tuning of AFO-FC (AFO-Footwear Combination) on gait of children with CP, short-term effects of tuning of AFO-FC on gait, muscle and joint characteristics and quality of life in children with CP, and the feasibility of conducting a larger trial. The study included 11 healthy children and 8 children with CP. Outcome measurements included sagittal plane kinematics and kinetics derived using 3D motion analysis, Gait Deviation Index (GDI), physical examination, and quality of life using the PedsQLTM questionnaire. Data from healthy children demonstrated influences of shoes on gait parameters and the role of the ankle joint in adapting to various wedges and rockers during gait. When studying children with CP, beneficial effects of rigid AFO-FC on gait parameters were evident; these were thought to relate to the appropriateness of the AFO-FC and familiarisation with the prescription. Immediate effects of tuning varied according to gait patterns previously demonstrated with non-tuned AFO-FC; benefits to knee kinematics and kinetics were largely seen in legs with extended knee gait, followed by jump knee gait, and with poorest responses in legs with crouch knee gait. Short-term effects of tuning were evident when comparing measurements taken before and after two-to-four months of wearing the tuned AFO-FC. Barefoot walking demonstrated significantly improved walking speed. Stride-length improved when comparing tuned AFO-FC at baseline with the tuned AFO-FC following the intervention period. No short-term changes were seen in PedsQLTM scores, muscle and joint characteristics, and GDI. Feasibility issues were also identified. It was concluded from this exploratory trial that tuning of AFO-FC improved gait for children with CP, although initial gait pattern affected the amount of benefit. This was evident immediately after tuning and some parameters improved further after short-term intervention. A randomised controlled trial is required; power analysis indicates the need for a larger sample of 18 in each group to detect change in GDI with a medium effect size and at a power of 0.8 and p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cerebral palsy is the most common movement disorder encountered in pediatric physical therapy practice. Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy: An Evidence-Based Approach is a unique, comprehensive reference that focuses on physical therapy management of children with cerebral palsy through the analysis and synthesis of published research, and it offers evidence-based teaching and learning opportunities to a wide reading audience. Inside, Dr. Mary Rahlin examines the current approach to the diagnosis and classification of cerebral palsy and explores the research evidence related to prognosis; medical management; and physical therapy examination, evaluation, and intervention for children with this condition. Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy analyzes cerebral palsy as a lifespan condition and utilizes the framework of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Sections include: Typical and atypical development of movement and postural control Cerebral palsy as a development disorder Medical management of alterations of body structures and functions by body systems Physical therapy management, including theoretical foundation, research evidence, and practice Normal and abnormal gait patterns and current evidence for orthotic management and assistive technology Transition to adult life Unique topics discussed: Variability, complexity, and adaptability in motor development The interdisciplinary team and effective interprofessional collaboration Assessment and management of therapy-related behavior Complementary and alternative interventions Segmental kinematic approach to orthotic management via ankle-foot-orthosis/footwear combination Other unique features include “Questions to Ponder” and “Suggested Questions for Future Research” at the end of each chapter. These are intended to generate healthy professional debate on a variety of topics, both in the classroom and in the clinic, and challenge the readers to plan new studies in search for evidence that will continue moving the pediatric physical therapy practice forward. Bonus! Also included with Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy is online access to video clips that accompany the text and highlight typical and atypical development, use of assistive technology, life span issues, and transition to adulthood. Physical Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy: An Evidence-Based Approach is intended for physical therapy students, educators, residents, and experienced clinicians, including physical therapists, other members of the interdisciplinary team, and researchers working with children with cerebral palsy.

Download or read book "Shank Angle to Floor" Measures and Tuning of "ankle-foot Orthosis Footwear Combinations" for Children with Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida and Other Conditions written by Elaine Owen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to report the Shank Angle to Floor (SAF) measures of the tuned Ankle-Foot Orthosis Footwear Combination (AFOFC) prescriptions for a population of children with CP, SB and other conditions in North West Wales. It also presents an unambiguous and clearly defined terminology to describe some of the key sagittal plane features of AFOFC prescriptions and methods of measuring them. The thesis includes an extensive literature review on AFOFCs and "tuning". Seventy-four children (Cerebral Palsy n=50, Spina Bifida n=4, Other conditions n=20) who were independently ambulant without walking aids and using solid AFOFCs (n=112) had their prescriptions tuned on a Video Vector Generator Gait Laboratory. Children's gait was analysed while walking barefoot, in footwear and in AFOFCs until they were tuned. The results showed that whether the Angle of The Ankle in the AFO (AAAFO) was dorsiflexed, plantigrade or plantarflexed the SAFs of the tuned AFOFCs were all inclined. For all AFOFCs (n=112) mean SAF=11.36°, SD=2.08, range 7-15°. For AFOFCs used by children with CP (n=69), mean SAF=11.86°, SD=2.05, range 7-15°. For AFOFCs used by children with SB (n=8), mean = 7.75°, SD=0.46, range 7-8°. AFOFCs for other children (n=35), mean =11.2°, SD=1.41, range 8-14°. The results suggest that when tuning AFOFCs a good starting point would be to set the SAF at 10-12° inclined and increase or decrease the SAF as required. The mean tuned SAFs approximate to the SAF of normal gait at midstance. A possible explanation for the 10-12° inclined SAF being central to the production of stability in stance in both normal and pathological gait with AFOFCs is that it is determined by anthropometric measures.10-12° inclined is the position which brings the centre of the knee joint directly over the middle of the foot. Other design features of the AFOFC to be considered, if it is to be tuned optimally for the whole of the gait cycle, are described. Knowledge of normal and abnormal shank kinematics, throughout the gait cycle is vital for a comprehensive understanding of AFOFC tuning. These are described and discussed.

Book excerpt: When a child has a health problem, parents want answers. But when a child has cerebral palsy, the answers don't come quickly. A diagnosis of this complex group of chronic conditions affecting movement and coordination is difficult to make and is typically delayed until the child is eighteen months old. Although the condition may be mild or severe, even general predictions about long-term prognosis seldom come before the child's second birthday. Written by a team of experts associated with the Cerebral Palsy Program at the Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, this authoritative resource provides parents and families with vital information that can help them cope with uncertainty. Thoroughly updated and revised to incorporate the latest medical advances, the second edition is a comprehensive guide to cerebral palsy. The book is organized into three parts. In the first, the authors describe specific patterns of involvement (hemiplegia, diplegia, quadriplegia), explain the medical and psychosocial implications of these conditions, and tell parents how to be effective advocates for their child. In the second part, the authors provide a wealth of practical advice about caregiving from nutrition to mobility. Part three features an extensive alphabetically arranged encyclopedia that defines and describes medical terms and diagnoses, medical and surgical procedures, and orthopedic and other assistive devices. Also included are lists of resources and recommended reading.

Download or read book The Effect of Ankle-foot Orthosis on Gait and the Procedures Used to Assess Bi-articular Muscle Length and Spasticity in Subjects with Diplegic Cerebral Palsy written by Fatma Mohsin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ankle-foot orthoses are commonly prescribed amongst subjects with diplegic cerebral palsy as a conservative orthotic intervention. Multi-articular and bi-articular muscles are more severely involved in subjects with diplegic cerebral palsy. Appropriate clinical assessment including assessment of these muscles enables optimum ankle-foot orthosis footwear combination (AFO-FC) prescription and any required adjunct therapy.The overarching aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of optimisation of the temporal midstance shank kinematics with the use of an AFO- FC on several variables including shank kinematics, thigh kinematics, vertical component of ground reaction force (FZ2) and ground reaction force (GRF) alignment in relation to hip and knee joint in temporal midstance to late stance. The understanding of the implication of, and the tools used to conduct assessment procedures and measurement processes were tested in the assessment of bi-articular muscles (specifically rectus femoris), to ascertain if results were predictive of presenting gait deviations and hence provide information to optimise treatment.The results of initial study suggested that a positive influence on the shank kinematics, thigh kinematics, FZ2 and GRF alignment in relation to hip and knee joint in temporal midstance to late stance was observed with the use of an AFO-FC. The results of a further study illustrated that a dominance relationship of the catch angle/length of rectus femoris (RF) measured using the Duncan-Ely with the knee or the hip joints varies at different gait points/periods. Additionally, the effect of dynamic shortness of4the RF differed on gait from the effect of true shortness. The results of series of studies testing the feasibility of using a 2-dimensional analysis system (PnO Clinical Movement Data) for hip, knee and ankle sagittal plane passive joint range of motion measurement during physical assessment confirmed the reliability and accuracy of this system.
