Multimodal fuzzy logic-based gait evaluation system for assessing children with cerebral palsy.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Damascus University, Damascus 86, Syria.
Gait analysis is crucial for identifying functional deviations from the normal gait cycle and is essential for the individualized treatment of motor disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP). The primary contribution of this study is the introduction of a multimodal fuzzy logic system-based gait index (FLS-GIS), designed to provide numerical scores for gait patterns in both healthy children and those with CP, before and after surgery. This study examines and evaluates the surgical outcomes in children with CP who have undergone Achilles tendon lengthening.

Background: Those with neurological disorders like cerebral palsy (CP) may experience an altered impact of social determinates of health on child functioning and well-being. We investigated the relationship between relative social advantage and medical and functional outcomes in a large cohort of children, adolescents and young adults with CP (n = 1269, aged 2-84 years).
Methods: We extracted data from the Cerebral Palsy Research Registry and dichotomized a range of independent factors (income, ethnicity and race) into advantaged and disadvantaged/vulnerable and a range of medical and functional outcomes (gross motor, manual ability, behaviour, breathing, nutritional intake, hearing, seizures, language and vision) and computed odds ratios using logistic regression.
Subtemporal approach for posterior communicating artery aneurysms.
Front Neurol
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.
Background And Objectives: Direct visualization of the aneurysmal neck and its related perforating arteries during microsurgical clipping of posterior communicating artery (PCoA) aneurysms with posterior projection or true PCoA aneurysms through the pterional approach may be difficult and complicated.
Methods: From January 2022 to January 2023, the clinical and angiographic information regarding PCoA aneurysms were retrospectively collected. Among them, 10 consecutive patients with PCoA aneurysms treated with microsurgical clipping via the subtemporal approach in our single institution were included.
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes combined with mouse nerve growth factor can more effectively ameliorate the motor disorder and brain pathological injury in mice with cerebral palsy.
Adv Clin Exp Med
January 2025
The First Clinical Hospital, Gansu University of Chinese Medicine, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and motor disorder syndrome. It has been confirmed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) can repair brain tissue damage and nerve injury; however, exosomes derived from healthy cells may have a comparable therapeutic potential as the cells themselves.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the improvement effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSCs)-derived exosomes on a CP model and determine whether there is a synergistic effect when combined with mNGF.
Psychometric properties of Child Sensory Profile-2 (CSP-2) among children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Eur J Pediatr
January 2025
Centre of Excellence & Advanced Research for Childhood Neurodevelopmental Disorders, Child Neurology Division, Department of Pediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Unlabelled: Cerebral palsy (CP) is not just caused by neuromuscular abnormalities; it is also a result of an impaired sensory system. Since there is not a standardized measure to evaluate sensory processing of children with spastic CP, therefore an in-depth assessment of sensory processing deficits in children with spastic CP would require an understanding of the validity and reliability of the Child Sensory Profile-2 (CSP-2) in children with spastic CP. The sample of this study included 230 children with spastic CP aged 3 to 14 years who referred to different paediatric rehabilitation centres of Delhi-NCR from April 2021 and September 2023 by using the snowball sampling procedure.
