Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood physical disability. Early intervention for children younger than 2 years with or at risk of CP critical. Now that an evidence-based guideline early accurate diagnosis exists, there a need to summarize effective, CP-specific and conduct new trials harness plasticity improve function increase participation. Our recommendations apply primarily high CP, aged 0 years.To systematically review best available evidence about interventions across 9...
The Prechtl General Movement Assessment (GMA) has become a cornerstone assessment in early identification of cerebral palsy (CP), particularly during the fidgety movement period at 3–5 months age. Additionally, motor repertoire, such as antigravity movements and postural patterns, which form Motor Optimality Score (MOS), may provide insight into an infant’s later function. This study aimed to identify specific markers for ambulation, gross function (using Gross Function Classification...
Aim To provide recommendations for interventions to improve physical function children and young people with cerebral palsy. Method An expert panel prioritized questions patient‐important outcomes. Using Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) methods, the assessed certainty evidence made recommendations, international consumer consultation. Results The guideline comprises 13 (informed by three systematic reviews, 30 randomized trials, five before–after...
Since the 1800s, there have been calls in literature for early diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP). However, still often occurs late, from 12 to 24 months high income countries and as late 5 years low resource settings. This is after optimal timeframe applying interventions which could harness neuroplastic potential developing brain. Multiple barriers exist affect clinicians’ confidence diagnosing CP early. These range lack definitive biomarkers a curative treatments CP. Further are proposed...
The average age for the diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) is 19 months. Recent neuroplasticity literature suggests that intensive, task-specific intervention ought to commence as early possible and in an enriched environment, during critical period neural development. Active motor interventions are effective some populations, however effects active on outcomes infants with CP have not been researched thoroughly, but pilot work promising. aim this study was determine short- term “GAME”; a new...
Introduction: Clinical guidelines recommend using neuroimaging, Prechtls’ General Movements Assessment (GMA), and Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) to diagnose cerebral palsy (CP) in infancy. Previous studies provided excellent sensitivity specificity for each test isolation, but no study has examined the pooled predictive power early diagnosis. Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control of 441 high-risk infants born between 2003 2014, from three Italian hospitals....
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability of childhood and early detection possible using evidence based assessments. Systematic reviews indicate intervention trials rarely demonstrate efficacy for improving motor outcomes but environmental enrichment interventions appear promising. This study built on a previous pilot has been designed to assess effectiveness goal - oriented training programme, "GAME", infants at very high risk cerebral (CP) compared with standard community care.

Methods prospective longitudinal cross‐sectional conducted. blind‐rated from conventional video two independent certified raters, blinded medical history. third resolved disagreements.

Objectives Congenital hemiplegia is the most common form of cerebral palsy (CP). Children with unilateral CP show signs upper limb asymmetry by 8 months corrected age (ca) but are frequently not referred to therapy until after 12 ca. This study compares efficacy infant-friendly modified constraint-induced movement (Baby mCIMT) infant friendly bimanual BIM) on limb, cognitive and neuroplasticity outcomes in a multisite randomised comparison trial. Methods analysis 150 infants (75 each group),...
The absence or abnormality of fidgety movements joints limbs is strongly indicative cerebral palsy in infants. Developing computer-based methods for assessing infant videos pivotal improved screening. Most existing use appearance-based features and are thus sensitive to strong but irrelevant signals caused by background clutter a moving camera. Moreover, these computed over the whole frame, they measure gross body rather than specific joint/limb motion. Addressing challenges, we develop...
Cerebral palsy is the most common physical disability of childhood, and early diagnosis followed by best practice intervention important for optimizing child family outcomes. We investigated parents' views an cerebral (CP), Goals, Activity, Motor Enrichment (GAME) intervention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted within a pilot randomised clinical trial. Transcriptions analyzed using grounded theory. Participants nine mothers whose infants had received GAME because they identified as...
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood physical disability, with 80% estimated to be in low-middle-income countries. This study aims (1) determine accuracy of General Movements (GMs)/Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) for detecting CP at 18 months corrected age (CA); (2) effectiveness a community-based parent-delivered early intervention infants high risk West Bengal, India (Learning through Everyday Activities Parents CP; LEAP-CP).This comprises two substudies:...
