System for control of spasticity

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Robin Jonathan Demesmaeker, Salif Axel Komi, Karen Minassian

The present invention relates to a neuromodulation/neurostimulation system (10) for the treatment of spasticity in a mammal, said system (10) comprising: - at least one control unit (12) configured and arranged to provide stimulation data, and - at least o ...

Investigating the neuromechanical control of healthy gait modulation and pathological gaits observed in cerebral palsy using neuromuscular simulations

Andrea Di Russo

Locomotion is based on a sophisticated interaction among the environment, the musculoskeletal system, the spinal cord, and the brain locomotor areas. Quality of life is strongly related to the proper capability of this movement. However, many pathologies, ...

Multidimensional Measures of Physical Activity and Their Association with Gross Motor Capacity in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy

Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff

The current lack of adapted performance metrics leads clinicians to focus on what children with cerebral palsy (CP) do in a clinical setting, despite the ongoing debate on whether capacity (what they do at best) adequately reflects performance (what they d ...

Comparison of gait characteristics between clinical and daily life settings in children with cerebral palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff

Gait assessments in standardized settings, as part of the clinical follow-up of children with cerebral palsy (CP), may not represent gait in daily life. This study aimed at comparing gait characteristics in laboratory and real life settings on the basis of ...

Gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy: bridging the gap between the laboratory and real life

Lena Carcreff

Like 17 million people worldwide, an individual with cerebral palsy (CP) does not have the opportunity to walk harmoniously in society due to long-life impairments in movement and posture. The natural course of CP can be modulated by treatments and therapi ...

Walking Speed of Children and Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy: Laboratory Versus Daily Life

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff

The purpose of this pilot study was to compare walking speed, an important component of gait, in the laboratory and daily life, in young individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and with typical development (TD), and to quantify to what extent gait observed in ...

Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions (vol 16, pg 24, 2019)

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff

The original article [1] contained a minor error whereby the middle initial of Christopher J. Newman's name was mistakenly omitted. ...

Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff

BACKGROUND: Physical therapy interventions for ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) often focus on activity-based strategies to promote functional mobility and participation in physical activity. The use of activity monitors validated for this populat ...

The effects of dual tasks on gait in children with cerebral palsy

Kamiar Aminian, Lena Carcreff

Aim: To assess the gait and cognitive performances of children with cerebral palsy (CP) during dual tasks (DT) in comparison to typically developing (TD) children. Method: This prospective, observational, case-control study included 18 children with CP (7 ...

Decoding of Self-paced Lower-Limb Movement Intention: A Case Study on the Influence Factors

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Dong Liu

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have been applied as new rehabilitation tools for motor disabled individuals. Active involvement of cerebral activity has been shown to enhance neuroplasticity and thus to restore mobility. Various studies have focused on th ...

Development of Walk Assistive Orthoses for Elderly

Jeremy Olivier

The proportion of elderly people is rapidly growing and the resources to help them will soon be insufficient. An important difficulty faced by the seniors is locomotion. Among the conditions that may be responsible for gait impairment, the reduced muscular ...

Activating the motor system through action observation: is this an efficient approach in adults and children?

Michela Bassolino

Observing an action performed by another person to learn a new movement is a frequent experience in adult daily life, such as in sports. However, it is an especially common circumstance during the development of motor skills in childhood. Studies on health ...

Connectomics across development : towards mapping brain structure from birth to childhood

Elda Fischi Gomez

The brain is probably the most complex system of the human body, composed of numerous neural units interconnected at dierent scales. This highly structured architecture provides the ability to communicate, synthesize information and perform the analytical ...

Spatio-temporal gait analysis in children with cerebral palsy using foot-worn inertial sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani

A child's natural gait pattern may be affected by the gait laboratory environment. Wearable devices using body-worn sensors have been developed for gait analysis. The purpose of this study was to validate and explore the use of foot-worn inertial sensors f ...

Ammonia toxicity to the brain

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan

Hyperammonemia can be caused by various acquired or inherited disorders such as urea cycle defects. The brain is much more susceptible to the deleterious effects of ammonium in childhood than in adulthood. Hyperammonemia provokes irreversible damage to the ...
