Feasibility and Reliability of the Melbourne Assessment-2 (MA-2) for Telehealth
Recruiting
The goals of this study: 1. Determine if a play based test of arm and hand movements is valid and reliable when conducted through telehealth for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. 2. Measure differences in parent, provider and child engagement when an assessment is conducted in-person compared to via telehealth. 3. Rate caregivers' overall impressions of procedures when an assessment is conducted in-person compared to telehealth. Participants will attend two visits, one in person and one... Read More

Aquatic Therapy for Children With Neuromotor Deficits
Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, fidelity and acceptability of an aquatic therapy assessment and intervention for children ages 3-9 with neuromotor deficits such as cerebral palsy. The intervention takes place in a warm water therapy pool, twice a week for ten weeks and targets swim safety skills, upper extremity function and self care participation and performance.

WBV and Serial Casting for Children with Cerebral Palsy
Recruiting
Children with cerebral palsy have increased muscle tone which often results in decreased active and passive movement at the ankle. While many management strategies exist (including passive stretching, WBV, serial casting, Botox, and surgical tendon lengthening), the utilization of WBV in combination with active exercises and serial casting has not been previously explored. Serial casting is the repeated application of a fiberglass cast (such as that applied to manage stable fractures) on a sched... Read More

Cerebral Palsy and the Study of Brain Activity During Motor Tasks
Recruiting
Background: - Two ways to study the brain while people are moving are near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG). NIRS uses light to look at blood flow in the brain when it is active. EEG records electrical activity in the brain. Both have been used safely for many years, even in very young children. NIRS or EEG can be used while a person is moving to show which parts of the brain are the most active. Researchers want to use NIRS and EEG to study brain activity during mo... Read More
