In this case series, we examined how two types of prone stander affected bone mineral density and behavioral variables in four children preschool age with severe cerebral palsy.In phase one, participated an eight-week standing program, for 30 minutes a day, five days week. Two stood conventional stander, new type motorized (dynamic) that provides intermittent weight bearing. Measurements before after the program revealed increases both who used dynamic one child static stander. two, all...

A positive attitude toward evidence-based practice (EBP) has been identified as an important factor in the effectiveness of dissemination and implementation EBP real-world settings.The objectives this study were: (1) to describe dimensions Icelandic physical therapists' attitudes adoption new knowledge (2) explore association between selected personal environmental factors.This was a cross-sectional, Web-based survey total population full members Physiotherapy Association.The Evidence-Based...

Children with physical disabilities commonly use mobility devices. There is a lack of studies on the and impact devices activities participation. Research needed satisfaction service delivery process devices.To examine among children properties their related services.A web-based survey was sent to parents 6 - 18 years old who used in Iceland. The effectiveness were assessed questionnaire designed for this study. measured Quebec user evaluation assistive technology (QUEST) 2.0.The 55 families...

Development of the musculoskeletal system in children with cerebral palsy can be very different from development without disabilities. Hip and spine problems are common who more severely involved. The purpose this article is to review literature related hip discuss clinical implications information. According literature, primary causes abnormal include muscle imbalances, positioning, delayed or insufficient weight-bearing. Secondary complications contractures, malformation joints, decreased...

Professionals who embrace evidence-based practice (EBP) continually search for research evidence, appraise, and apply it, while interacting with each client in his/her situation. This dynamic learning process takes a substantial commitment from professionals requires positive attitude toward EBP. The main objective of this was to explore the following: 1) distinct dimensions attitudes adoption EBP among physical therapists social workers 2) relationship between these selected background...

Abstract Background Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is characterised by recurring episodes of acute inflammation, with joint swelling in one or more joints, often accompanied pain. These can now be controlled better than the past because a new category medications. However, despite stable disease activity, pain may continue to cause problems children juvenile and reduce their performance routine physical activities participation social school activities. Aim To evaluate prevalence pain,...

Purpose: In this case series, we examined how two types of prone stander affected bone mineral density and behavioral variables in four children preschool age with severe cerebral palsy. Methods: phase one, participated an eight-week standing program, for 30 minutes a day, five days week. Two stood conventional stander, new type motorized (dynamic) that provides intermittent weight bearing.

Aims 1) to map questions of pain from a survey the International Classification Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) 2) compare impact musculoskeletal on functioning based different components ICF in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) age-matched peers.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical suggestion is to describe a new type stander, dynamic stander. Key Points: stander may give children with severe cerebral palsy an opportunity for movement in lower extremities and trunk while they are standing. It increase their tolerance standing considerable period time. In addition, the potential increased bone mineral density might be greater than conventional design, development, initial use described. Summary: Some minor problems related design...

Fampridine is a drug for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It broad-spectrum voltage-dependent potassium channel blocker that enhances synaptic transmission. The has been shown to be able enhance conduction in demyelinated axons, thereby leading improved gait patients MS. purpose of this study was examine the effect fampridine on function MS end 2 weeks trial period and observe how many continued therapy.Data from 41 individuals collected retrospectively study. Measurements were...

Purpose: To compare physical activity in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and age-matched peers. Materials methods: Daily was measured for seven consecutive days activPALTM accelerometer 8–18- year-old (n=28) age- sex-matched controls (n=35). The main variables were daily steps duration of time moderate to vigorous activity. A mixed model analysis variance used statistical analysis. Results: groups comparable terms age, height, weight, body mass index sex ratio. There no...
