The Use of Serious Gaming to Improve Sensorimotor Function and Motivation in People with Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review

The aim of this systematic review was to review the evidence for serious gaming interventions in improving sensorimotor function in children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Seven databases were searched with terms related to serious gaming and CP.

Harnessing neuroplasticity to improve motor performance in infants with cerebral palsy: A study protocol for the GAME randomised controlled trial

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability of childhood worldwide. Historically the diagnosis was made between 12 and 24 months, meaning data about effective early interventions to improve motor outcomes are scant. In high-income countries, two in three children will walk. This evaluator-blinded randomised controlled trial will investigate the efficacy of an early and sustained Goals-Activity-Motor Enrichment approach to improve motor and cognitive skills in infants with suspected or confirmed CP.

Temporal trends in cerebral palsy by impairment severity and birth gestation

Rates of cerebral palsy in Victoria decreased between the mid-1990s and 2009 for neonatal survivors of all birth gestations

Cerebral palsy after assisted reproductive technology: a cohort study

To calculate the birth prevalence of CP after ART and compare the clinical outcomes of children with CP after ART or natural conception.

Unpacking the “black box” of safe respiratory physiotherapy interventions delivered in the home for children with cerebral palsy and medical complexity

Describe the physiotherapy interventions provided to children with cerebral palsy at risk of respiratory illness and determine criteria for safe in-home treatment.

Inter-rater reliability and agreement of the General Movement Assessment and Motor Optimality Score-Revised in a large population-based sample

Prechtl's General Movement Assessment (GMA) at fidgety age (3-5 months) is a widely used tool for early detection of cerebral palsy. Further to GMA classification, detailed assessment of movement patterns at fidgety age is conducted with the Motor Optimality Score-Revised. 

Clinical acceptability of the sense_assess© kids: Children and youth perspectives

This study has demonstrated the acceptability of sense_assess© kids for the population for whom it is intended

Change in residential remoteness during the first 5 years of life in an Australian cerebral palsy cohort

To determine if families of children with cerebral palsy living in Australia move to less remote areas between birth and 5 years.

Prenatal factors in cerebral palsy

This article discusses the prenatal factors associated with the development of infants born with cerebral palsy.

A prospective study investigating gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy and GMFCS level II after long-term Botulinum toxin type A use

Children with Cerebral Palsy, Gross Motor Function level II treated at a young age with repeated doses of Botulinum Toxin A maintain or improve their functional motor level
