Twenty years of intrathecal baclofen therapy in Slovenia: a retrospective single-center analysis of complications.

Since the first implantation in July 2001, the intrathecal baclofen (ITB) therapy for patients with generalized spasticity has been used in Slovenia for 20 years. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the rates of different complications, especially if catheter-related complications were less frequent after the introduction of the coated catheter type in February 2013, and the potential correlation between higher baclofen doses and the incidence of complications. We retrospectively collected data from all patients in the registry during the period from 3 July 2001 to 31 December 2021.

Gait changes following robot-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy.

This study investigated changes of gait pattern induced by a 4-week robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 10.4+/-3.2 years old by using computerized gait analysis (CGA).

Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Selective Voluntary Motor Control in Ambulatory Children with Cerebral Palsy.

This pilot study investigated the efficacy of a four week robot-assisted gait training in twelve children with spastic diparesis. Short-term results and a 3-month follow-up showed statistically significantly increased selective motor control, walking farther distances, gross motor score, and decreased joint contractures.

Psychometric assessment of the Slovene translation of the Measure of Processes of Care for Service Providers.

The Measure of Processes of Care for professionals (MPOC-SP) is valid and reliable a self-administered questionnaire for paediatric service providers engaged in care for chronically ill children. Our aim was to evaluate internal consistency reliability, one-year stability and some aspects of validity of its Slovene translation. Sixty-seven service providers from seven professional groups of several hospitals and health centres participated in the study.

Validity, internal consistency reliability and one-year stability of the Slovene translation of the Measure of Processes of Care (20-item version).

Background: The Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) was developed as a self-administered questionnaire for parents to report on behaviours of healthcare providers. The original (MPOC-56) and the 20-item version (MPOC-20) have established reliability and validity, but the instrument must be rechecked whenever translated and applied in a different social and cultural setting. The aim of our study was to evaluate validity, internal consistency reliability and 1-year stability of the Slovene translation of MPOC-20.

Parental evaluation of processes of care in relation to the child, parent and family characteristics.

The Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) is a questionnaire for parents used to evaluate the behaviours of healthcare providers. We applied its 20-item version (MPOC-20) to explore the associations between parental evaluation of processes of care and child, parent and family characteristics in Slovenia. A novelty of our approach was the emphasis on the role of a key person.
