STROKE, DISORDERS, CEREBRAL PALSY
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a life-long group of disorders occurring in about 2 per 1000 live births [Recent intensive rehabilitation methods combining upper and lower extremity training show promising results in children with CP [Constant practice of specific movements may enable automatization and shift motor control to memory-based processing by restructuring the cortical representations of sensorimotor features. This restructuring is believed to appear after intensive repetitive training in adult survivors with stroke and pediatric participants with CP [Intensive Neurophysiological Rehabilitation System (INRS) includes intensive repeated procedures in which the difficulty of required movements gradually increases [A retrospective analysis of treatment with INRS demonstrated a decrease in muscle tone, an increase in passive range of motion, and an enhancement of gross motor skills and fine motor function in most children with CP who received one course of INRS rehabilitation [We formulated a hypothesis that rehabilitation according to INRS is superior to the standard home treatment for the functional abilities of children with CP. In this quazi-randomized controlled study, we aimed to study the effects of INRS treatment on upper- and lower-extremity functions, mobility, and self-care in the population of children with bilateral CP.
