Background In Japan, the child development support initiative is one of government’s daycare programs for children with disabilities. Children, aged 0–6 years, who are not attending elementary school can participate in and receive various support. Reports on approaches taken by private centers guardians’ perceptions increasing. Conversely, information from public centers, which serve as places initial developmental consultation, extremely scarce. Moreover, there no nationwide reports main...
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate differences in selective voluntary motor control the lower extremities by objective assessment and determine relationship between knee extensor strength children with spastic diplegia. [Subjects Methods] Forty individuals who had cerebral palsy, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels ranging from I III, were assessed using Selective Control Assessment Lower Extremity testing maximum strength. unaffected side defined as limb higher...
[Purpose] This study examined characteristics of dynamic standing balance, with an without insole, in patients spastic diplegia cerebral palsy (CP). [Participants and Methods] cross-sectional used a crossover design. Eleven CP gross motor levels between I III (according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System expanded revised version) were randomly allocated either barefoot or insole groups. The Index postural stability (IPS) was evaluated while each patient wearing insoles....
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to translate the Selective Control Assessment Lower Extremity (SCALE) tool from English Japanese and assess reliability validity version SCALE (SCALE-J) in patients with spastic cerebral palsy. [Subjects Methods] translated into accordance published guidelines. In total, 55 palsy were enrolled present study. Reliability by internal consistency (Cronbach's α), intrarater reliability, inter-rater convergent comparing Gross Motor Function Classification...
[Purpose] Hip dislocation and subluxation are common in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). abduction orthoses used to prevent treat these problems. This study investigated the effects of an underwear-type hip orthosis on sitting balance sit-to-stand (STS) activity children spastic CP. [Participants Methods] trial had a cross-over design. Eight aged 6 18 years old CP Gross Motor Function Classification level III IV were randomly allocated groups or without use orthosis. The trunk impairment...
Manual ability is considered one of the factors that can predict functional independence in activities daily living. For evaluating personal tasks such as self-care, Pediatric Evaluation Disability Inventory (PEDI) comprises/introduces/offers a set useful measures assist enhancing capability for self-care among children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim this study was to investigate relevant performance spastic CP.This cross-sectional study. Seventy-six CP (between 5 18 years...
Background The recognition of required treatments for cerebral palsy (CP) patients, including orthopedic surgery, differs according to region. This study was performed identify factors associated with satisfactory changes in physical function after surgery. Methods 358 patients were selected the questionnaire survey. following information collected: gender, primary disease, age initial total procedural count, operated sites, satisfaction postoperative rehabilitation frequency, ideal amount...
[Purpose] To promote community involvement in children, the factors that influence and limit their participation must be well understood. The purpose of this study was to clarify children with disabilities. [Participants Methods] In total, 235 questionnaires were distributed parents at special support schools, pediatric hospitals, home-visit nursing stations, after-school daycare services Tokyo, Gunma, Hiroshima, Saga prefectures Japan. Data related Participation Environment Measure for...
[Purpose] Lower extremity strength is a contributing factor to energy efficiency of gait. However, this contribution has not previously been evaluated in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). The aim study was evaluate the association between consumption, measured by physical cost index (PCI), and lower extremity, maximum knee extensor (MKES), CP. [Subjects Methods] Subjects were 10 (4 males 6 females; age, 7-17 years) CP, but no history orthopedic intervention or botulinum toxin...
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between level of herniation and paraspinal muscle atrophy in patients with lumbar disc (LDH) by measuring muscles' cross-sectional area (CSA). Methods:We retrospectively analyzed data obtained from 54 LDH (level herniation; 25 L4/5, 29 L5/S1).The CSA measurements at each spinal (lower vertebral endplate L1 L5 upper S1) were determined outlining fascial boundary (i.e., multifidus, erector spinae, psoas major, quadratus lumborum).The aff...

本研究は，第6頸髄（C6）損傷者における寝返り動作可否の要因を，3次元動作解析装置を用いて分析することを目的とした。C6損傷者11名を対象とし，寝返り動作時の力源である頭部と上肢の手関節の動きを分析した。寝返り可能群と不可能群における頭頂部の変位・速度・加速度が水平・鉛直・奥行き成分すべてにおいて可能群の方が有意に大きかった。手関節の変位・速度は水平・鉛直・奥行きの3成分において共に寝返り可能群の方が不可能群より有意に大きかった。加速度においては水平・鉛直成分でのみ寝返り可能群の方が有意に大きかった。このことから，C6レベルの寝返り動作において，肩関節屈曲方向に振る上肢の振りに続く，大きく・速く・強い頭頸部の動きが必要ではないかと考えられた。
〔目的〕脳性麻痺児の上肢の治療の一つに，選択的筋解離術がある．本研究では，上肢筋解離術後の機能・能力の改善と満足度の関係を明らかにするためにアンケート調査を行った．〔対象と方法〕アンケートは都内某整形外科病院にて肩・肘・前腕部の筋解離術を受けた265名に送付した．アンケートでは，術後の機能・能力の改善の有無（筋緊張・呼吸機能・粗大運動能力・遊び・ADL）と術後満足度を調査した．各機能・能力の改善の有無と満足・不満足における比率の差を検討した．〔結果〕20名から本研究の取り込み基準を満たした返送を得た．粗大運動・ADLが改善した場合，術後に満足している人数が多いことが明らかとなった．〔結語〕粗大運動・ADL能力は，改善が保護者にもわかりやすく上肢選択的筋解離術術後の満足度と関係していることが示唆された．
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationship between gross motor abilities and sensory processing in typically developing children. METHOD: Participants included children aged 18 to 36 months (N = 48). All participants were full-term infants. assessed based on Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), characteristics Infant/Toddler Sensory Profile (ITSP). The ability index was calculated using GMFM score which estimated from age. Pearson's product moment correlation coefficients used examine...
