Motor Disturbances

This study describes language disorders in the people with cerebral palsy and what kind of treatments to people with cerebral palsy related to language disorders. Cerebral palsy is a series of disorders with problems regulating muscle movements where it is as a result of some damage to the motor centers in the brain. Damage to the motor center in the brain that causes cerebral palsy can occur prenatal (before birth), perinatal (during the birth), or even postnatal (immediately after birth). There are several main problems that are often found and faced by children with cerebral palsy, they are: (1) difficulty in eating and swallowing caused by motor disturbances in the mouth, (2) difficulty in speaking, (3) difficulty in hearing, and (4) language disorders.

The Chairs

This study examined postural variabilities based on the self-perceived most comfortable postures of 12 participants (six men and six women) when sitting on three commonly used types of chairs (a stool, computer chair, and gaming chair). Participants’ global joint angles were recorded and analyzed. Of the chairs studied, the stool was not adjustable, but the computer and gaming chairs were moderately and highly adjustable, respectively. During the test, participants were encouraged to adjust the chairs until they perceived that the most comfortable posture had been reached. The results demonstrated that in a sitting position perceived to be comfortable, the participants’ postural variabilities with respect to global joint angle, calculated from five repetitions, were unexpectedly high for all three chair types, at approximately 9.4, 10.2, and 11.1° for head inclination, trunk angle, and knee angle, respectively. The average differences in range for each joint angle among the three chair types were relatively low, with all values within 3°. The result also showed that gender (p < 0.01) and chair type (p < 0.001) significantly affected trunk angle, whereas these variables did not affect head inclination or knee angle (p > 0.05). The preliminary results observed unexpectedly high variabilities in sitting posture when the participants sat at a posture that they perceived to be the most comfortable. The findings also indicated an inherent difference in comfortable sitting posture between genders; women tend to extend their trunk backward more than men. For permanent use with only an initial adjustment and memory-aided seat design, designers should minimize the loads that are borne by body parts over a prolonged period due to an unchanging sitting posture.

Stress Estimation

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of motor impairment in children and has increased globally. This health problem negatively impacts the quality of a patient's life and the people in their care. The literature reports the use of technological tools developed to support patients' rehabilitation; however, these are intrusive, so they are annoying and can generate stress. This work aims to analyze the existing developments regarding cognitive stress estimation through non-intrusive methods. This study identifies a few developments focused on rehabilitating children with CP by analyzing facial expressions with non-intrusive methods. From the above, the authors propose future lines of work that would eventually support patients with CP.

Function Measure

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) experience various restrictions owing to their underdeveloped mobility. Home confinement due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic may further increase these restrictions. We report the case of a 7-year-old boy with CP (Gross Motor Function Classification System level IV) whose motor function declined during the period when physical therapy was discontinued due to lockdown, approximately four months. At the end of the home confinement, the patient’s ability to maintain a sitting posture and weight-bearing capacity of the lower extremities decreased. His Gross Motor Function Measure total score of 88 also decreased from 34.5% to 31.9%. After resuming physical therapy, the patient recovered the function status seen before the discontinuation of physical therapy, but this took almost twice as long as the confinement period. We reaffirm that frequent physical therapy is crucial for maintaining motor function in non-ambulatory children with CP. As a countermeasure for the future, urgent efforts are needed for the development of telerehabilitation.
