Abstract

Aim: To develop a screening tool (the screening Hand Assessment for Infants [s‐HAI]) for infants aged from 3.5 months that can identify a high risk of developing unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) based on a selection of items from the HAI. Method: Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed on previously collected HAI assessments from 212 infants (104 females, 108 males) aged from 3.5 to 8.5 months, to select items suitable for screening. The area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and cut‐off values were derived for the suggested item combination. The clinical outcome (unilateral CP yes or no) at 24 months or older served as the external criterion. Results: About half of the infants developed unilateral CP. The AUC across the items ranged from 0.63 to 0.80, and from 0.85 to 0.87 for different item combinations. Sensitivity for the selected 6‐item set was 91% for 8 points or less and 88% for 7 points or less on the contralesional score of each hand, while specificity was 60% and 73% respectively. Interpretation: The s‐HAI, designed from six HAI items, has the potential to be used to screen infants at risk of unilateral CP from 3.5 months of age. It is easy to administer, time‐efficient, and can be used in different settings. Its measurement properties and feasibility need to be tested in a new data set. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background/Objectives: In recent years, the advent of new technologies has fostered their application in neuro-psychomotor and language rehabilitation, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Tele-rehabilitation has emerged as an innovative and timely solution, enabling personalized interventions monitored by clinicians. TABLET TOSCANA project aims to develop innovative tele-rehabilitation organizational models in children, adolescents and young adults with congenital and acquired developmental disabilities, using the Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) Home Kit and the MedicoAmico APP. Methods: The trial is designed according to the CONSORT statement guidelines. The project encompasses three phases: adapting the technologies for pediatric use, validating them through a wait-list study, and analyzing feasibility and effectiveness data to define new organizational models. A randomized wait-list-control study with 100 subjects aged 6 to 30 years will compare tele-rehabilitation versus prosecution of standard care. Discussion: Although literature highlights tele-rehabilitation benefits such as improved access, cost savings, and enhanced treatment adherence, practical implementation remains limited (i.e., the definition of standardized procedures). TABLET TOSCANA project seeks to address these gaps by focusing on multi-domain treatments for neurodevelopmental disabilities and emphasizing the integration of tele-rehabilitation into local health services. Conclusion: The project aims to improve the continuity and intensity of care through innovative models that integrate tele-rehabilitation into local health services. The results could inform healthcare policies and promote the development of innovative and collaborative models of care, paving the way for more effective and widespread tele-rehabilitation solutions and fostering collaborative networks among professionals.

Abstract

Considering the variability and heterogeneity of motor impairment in children with Movement Disorders (MDs), the assessment of postural control becomes essential. For its assessment, only a few tools objectively quantify and recognize the difference among children with MDs. In this study, we use the Virtual Reality Rehabilitation System (VRRS) for assessing the postural control in children with MD. Furthermore, 16 children (mean age 10.68 ± 3.62 years, range 4.29–18.22 years) were tested with VRRS by using a stabilometric balance platform. Postural parameters, related to the movements of the Centre of Pressure (COP), were collected and analyzed. Three different MD groups were identified according to the prevalent MD: dystonia, chorea and chorea–dystonia. Statistical analyses tested the differences among MD groups in the VRRS-derived COP variables. The mean distance, root mean square, excursion, velocity and frequency values of the dystonia group showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between the chorea group and the chorea–dystonia group. Technology provides quantitative data to support clinical assessment: in this case, the VRRS detected differences among the MD patterns, identifying specific group features. This tool could be useful also for monitoring the longitudinal trajectories and detecting post-treatment changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

21. Predictive validity of the Hand Assessment for Infants in infants at risk of unilateral cerebral palsy

Author

G., Eliasson, Ann-Christin, Ryll, Ulrike C., Krumlinde-Sundholm, Lena, Verhage, Cornelia H., Sicola, Elisa, Sgandurra, Giuseppina, Bastiaenen, Caroline H. G., and Eliasson, Ann-Christin

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of the Hand Assessment for Infants (HAI) in identifying infants at risk of being diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy(CP), and to determine cut-off values for this purpose. Method: A convenience sample of 203 infants (106 females, 97 males) was assessed by the HAI at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, and likelihood ratios were calculated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Cut-off values were derived for different ages. The clinical outcome (unilateral CP yes/no) at 24 months or more served as an external criterion to investigate the predictive validity of HAI. Results: Half of the infants developed unilateral CP. The area under the curve ranged from0.77 (95% CI [confidence interval] 0.63–0.91) to 0.95 (95% CI 0.90–1.00) across HAI scales and age intervals. Likewise, sensitivity ranged from 63% to 93%, specificity from 62% to 91%, and accuracy from 73% to 94%. Interpretation: HAI scores demonstrated overall accuracy that ranged from very good to excellent in predicting unilateral CP in infants at risk aged between 3.5 and 12 months. This accuracy increased with age at assessment and the earliest possible prediction was at3.5 months of age, when appropriate HAI cut-off values for different ages were applied.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The use of robotic technologies in pediatric rehabilitation has seen a large increase, but with a lack of a comprehensive framework about their effectiveness. OBJECTIVE: An Italian Consensus Conference has been promoted to develop recommendations on these technologies: definitions and classification criteria of devices, indications and limits of their use in neurological diseases, theoretical models, ethical and legal implications. In this paper, we present the results for the pediatric age. METHODS: A systematic search on Cochrane Library, PEDro and PubMed was performed. Papers published up to March 1st, 2020, in English, were included and analyzed using the methodology of the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in Oxford, AMSTAR2 and PEDro scales for systematic reviews and RCT, respectively. RESULTS: Some positives aspects emerged in the area of gait: an increased number of children reaching the stance, an improvement in walking distance, speed and endurance. Critical aspects include the heterogeneity of the studied cases, measurements and training protocols. CONCLUSION: Many studies demonstrate the benefits of robotic training in developmental age. However, it is necessary to increase the number of trials to achieve greater homogeneity between protocols and to confirm the effectiveness of pediatric robotic rehabilitation.
