Published: January 2025

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neuromuscular disorder in children with no effective therapeutic methods. To examine CP, a large variety of methods and animal models was developed, the most popular are the hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury and/or LPS injection in mice. In the presented work, HI and LPS were applied on the postnatal day 9 to humanized immunodeficiency mouse pups, thereupon 3 behavioral tests were performed in 8 weeks later. Both HI and LPS caused significant behavioral deficits assessed in the Rotarod test. In gait dynamics and open-field tests, HI and LPS caused significant behavioral deficits reported by some parameters, and the effect of HI was more severe. Additionally, HI and LPS produced the different effects on gait dynamics of the fore and hind paws. Thus, both HI and LPS induced the behavioral disorders in mice, but HI was more suitable for the development of humanized immunodeficiency mouse model of CP.

Objectives: To explore whether the mean lumbar acceleration is a feasible tool for determining minimum eligibility criteria to compete in cerebral palsy football, differentiating between new sports classes, and to assess the effect of foot contacts on balance evaluation and class distinction.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 146 male cerebral palsy footballers classified into FT1 (n=34), FT2 (n=87), and FT3 (n=25), alongside 12 non-impaired athletes as a control group, participated.

Postanesthesia Sling Lift Transfer and Upright Extubation of an Adult Secured in a Motorized Wheelchair: A Case Report.

A A Pract

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.

This case report describes a 29-year-old patient with cerebral palsy whose mother, for safety reasons, requested that before extubation in the postanesthesia care unit, her son be transferred from the padded stretcher to his personal motorized wheelchair. Using a sling lift, we safely transferred the anesthetized, intubated patient from a supine position to an upright sitting position. Although sling lifts are often used in critical care and rehabilitation environments, use in the perioperative space is rare.

Introduction: Reaching social milestones is an important goal of childhood. Children with acquired brain injury (ABI) and cerebral palsy (CP) frequently experience challenges with social functioning and participation. The Programme for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) is a group-based social skills programme for adolescents.
