Purpose: The aim was to study the prevalence of hip displacements, dislocations, and the hip surgeries performed in a Finnish cohort of children with cerebral palsy not followed up in a hip surveillance program and to compare these with previous studies performed in Northern European countries before and after the implementation of hip surveillance programs.
Methods: A cross-sectional study. A cohort including 480 children with cerebral palsy, born during the period 2000-2018, not enrolled in a hip surveillance program.
Purpose: The purpose of the co-development project was to create a tool that enhances children's active participation and agency in rehabilitation and in everyday life.
Materials And Methods: Action research was the methodological approach. Participants in the different phases of the process (2015-2017) were children with disabilities, parents and rehabilitation professionals.
Aims: This report reviews major laws, acts and regulations of social benefits and services for individuals with disabilities, focusing on cerebral palsy in the five Nordic countries. It summarizes the available benefits and services and the re-application process and provides comparative analyses among the countries.
Methods: Published reports, articles and relevant government and municipal websites were reviewed for each respective country and used to compile an overview and comparison between the countries.
Purpose: To explore what aspects of and how the child's functioning are discussed during a multi-professional team meeting when planning goals and interventions for rehabilitation.
Materials And Methods: Multiprofessional rehabilitation meetings were videotaped, the discussions transcribed and all content related to the child's function was linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health comprehensive Core Set for children with cerebral palsy.
Results: Thirteen families gave their informed consent to participate.
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common early onset disabilities globally. The causative brain damage in CP is nonprogressive, yet secondary conditions develop and worsen over time. Individuals with CP in Sweden and most of the Nordic countries are systematically followed in the national registry and follow-up program entitled the Cerebral Palsy Follow-Up Program (CPUP).

Design:: A feasibility study.
Settings:: Inpatient rehabilitation settings.
Context: Using technical clothes with electrodes embedded in the clothing makes it possible to record the electrical activity produced by the activity of the skeletal muscles in activities of daily living.
Objective: To investigate the reliability of measuring lower-limb left-right electromyography (EMG) activity ratio with smart shorts during stair descent, stair ascent, and repeated unloaded squats among healthy working-aged subjects.
Methods: Seventeen females (mean age 25.
Purpose: The primary aim of the study was to investigate the interrelation between needs and functional difficulties and the therapeutic goals in children with cerebral palsy (CP) as documented in individual written rehabilitation plans.
Method: The study was a retrospective cross-sectional register study. The data consisted of randomly chosen register documents for 77 children and adolescents with CP in different predetermined age ranges.

Objective: To explore the types of procedures and practices in rehabilitation planning for children with cerebral palsy and how multidisciplinary team members experience them.
Design, Subjects, And Setting: A qualitative research approach was used. Participants were members of multidisciplinary teams in neuropediatric wards at five university hospitals.
Background: In order to best meet the needs of both families and their children with cerebral palsy, many rehabilitation service providers have adopted a family-centred service (FCS) approach. In FCS parents are seen as experts on their child's needs, and the family and professionals collaborate in the rehabilitation process. However, parents and service providers might look at FCS from different points of view, i.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Children with cerebral palsy have difficulties in several areas of functioning, and they need long-lasting rehabilitation with a clear focus on the individual's needs. Finnish guidelines emphasize family-centred service. The values of family-centred service are widely known, but how the principles of family-centred service are adopted in clinical practice is not well documented.
