Effectiveness of virtual reality on functional mobility during treadmill training in children with cerebral palsy: a single-blind, two-arm parallel group randomised clinical trial (VirtWalkCP Project).

Introduction: Treadmill training and virtual reality have been investigated in children with cerebral palsy. However, few studies have assessed the effectiveness of the combination of both treatments on children's functional and balance activities. The project aims to compare the effects of treadmill training with and without virtual reality on walking endurance and speed, static and dynamic balance, gross motor function, functional independence, quality of life and occupational participation in children with spastic cerebral palsy between the ages of 4 and 12 years classified at levels I, II and III of the Gross Motor Function Classification System.

[High incidence of type 1 diabetes in the immigrant population of Osona and Baix Camp].

Introduction: It has been postulated that migration could act as a modifying factor in the incidence of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), so the aim of this study is to determine if there are differences in the incidence of T1DM by origin.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of cases of T1DM onset in the population younger than 19 years old in Osona and Baix Camp between 2000 and 2012, using the medical histories of endocrinology units of the health centres and demographics from Catalonia Statistical Institute as sources.

Results: The child population in Osona and Baix Camp increased by 36.
