In the field of developmental neuropsychology, interesting patterns association between functional brain development at birth and neurodevelopmental outcomes during early childhood have been recently highlighted. this work, we investigated a population preterm neonates ( n = 32) (1) derived perinatal connectivity (p-FC) markers prematurity, through direct comparison with group at-term borns (2) tested role these as predictors cognitive (COG), language (LANG), socioemotional (SE) measured 6,...
As the motor system relies heavily on deep sensory stimulation, recent studies have investigated effect of vibration stimuli. Although research suggests a positive influence performance in individuals with neurological disorders, there are very limited numbers children cerebral palsy (CP). The objective present study was to evaluate effects sound wave therapy spasticity and function CP. In this 3-month trial, 89 spastic CP were randomized either continue their physiotherapy treatment (PT) or...
Abstract One of the most remarkable observations in developmental neuroscience is plasticity developing brain. Although recent findings suggest that brain possesses substantial compensatory potential, mechanisms reorganization and its limitations remain largely unknown. This review includes studies elucidating complexities response to early injury. It describes factors influencing pattern degree plasticity, provides insight into patterns different systems offers guidelines for clinicians...
Children with perinatal brain damage have a high prevalence of visual impairment. Stimulation vision at critical period can encourage plasticity and the recovery impaired function.The aim our study was to investigate when is for stimulation in children damage.We compared 35 within first eight months life (median age = 4 months) aged between thirty 15 months), all damage. All were attending an early intervention program Mali dom, Zagreb, rehabilitation centre We results from baseline...
Spasticity has been considered as a major impairment in cerebral palsy (CP), but the relationship between this and motor functions is still unclear, especially same group of patients with CP. The aim investigation to determine spasticity gross capability nonambulatory children spastic Seventy-one (30 boys, 41 girls) bilateral Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV (n=34) V (n=37) were included study. level lower limbs was evaluated using Modified Ashworth Scale function...
A link between maternal anxiety during pregnancy and adverse socio-emotional outcomes in childhood has been consistently sustained on the very early neurodevelopmental alteration of structural pathways fetal limbic cortical brain regions. In this study, we provide follow-up evidence for a feed-forward model linking (i) anxiety, (ii) functional neurodevelopment, (iii) neonatal network organization with (iv) neurobehavioral development childhood. Namely, investigate sample 16 mother-fetus...
Preterm birth is associated with a wide range of adverse developmental outcomes, including sensory, motor, cognitive and language impairments, behavioral or attention problems. Subtle motor deficits that might emerge in premature infants no evident mild brain injury encompass qualitative quantitative aspects behavior. This prospective cohort study provided an evaluation the relationship between tissue volumes revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term-equivalent age behavior...
Music therapy acts as a separate discipline in the interdisciplinary field of science and art. Unlike music education, is aimed at developing enhancing non-musical skills by using symbol emotional personal growth. The purpose this paper to present an overview theoretical foundations human psychology pedagogy, well development models that have arisen from these approaches. most commonly used special education are based on improvisational techniques, which include free improvisation therapy,...
Procjena spontanih pokreta valjan je i pouzdan prediktor kod djece s perinatalnom ozljedom mozga za optimalan ili neoptimalan neuromotorički ishod. Kvaliteta vrpoljenja ima najveću prediktivnu vrijednost u prepoznavanju neuromotoričkoga razvojnog ishoda. Cilj istraživanja bio ispitati motorički ishod prijevremeno rođene drugoj godini života odnosu na kvalitetu vrpoljenja. U istraživanje bilo uključeno 27 (medijan gestacijske dobi 29 tj.) evidentiranom terminski očekivanoj dobi. kvalitete...
Uvid u normalnu funkciju fetalnog mozga omogućava nam procjena spontanih pokreta. Spontani su pokreti oni fetusa i mladog dojenčeta koji se očituju dobno specifičnim obilježjima dvjema fazama: fazi uvijanja vrpoljenja. Razlikujemo normalan tri tipa abnormalnih pokreta, a to siromašni, grčevito-sinkronizirani kaotični spontani pokreti. Istraživanja pokazuju kako je prediktivna snaga procjene najbolja vrpoljenja, tj. od 2. do 4. mjeseca života. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio ispitati optimalnost...
Early experience of emotional communication contributes to the attachment between mother and infant has an impact on child’s neurological, social, development. By applying music therapy activities aimed at parent-child interaction, it is possible create experiences in which child share rhythm, tempo, melody, pitch their voices, what are all intrinsic elements early process. The aim this paper was explore possibility promoting maternal self-perceived parental competence mothers risk. study...
Cerebralna paraliza je neurološki razvojni poremećaj motoričke kontrole položaja i pokreta tijela, često udružen s drugim teškoćama, od kojih jedno oštećenje vida. Cilj našeg istraživanja bio utvrditi razinu funkcionalnog vida (vizualno funkcioniranje) djecesa spastičnom cerebralnom paralizom. Daljnji cilj povezanost između vidnih funkcija (oštrine kontrastne osjetljivosti) vizualnog funkcioniranja. U uzorak uključeno 70-ero djece sa paralizom, srednje dobi 4,8 godina. Procjena oštrine...
