Function Depends On
• Interplay of body structure and function-impairments
• Strength, tone, SMC, balance-understanding each and quantifying allows us to target therapy programs
Parse individual deficits contributions
Ultrasonic Evaluation Medial Gastrocnemius
• Non-invasive method to quantify biomechanical properties
• Analyzed both passive and active muscle properties

• 1) Passive stiffness, 2) neurally-mediated reflex stiffness, 3) active muscle stiffness
• Contracture
• Joint range of motion
• Interventions (e.g. bracing, lengthening surgeries)
Measuring muscle “stiffness”Why does it matter?
• Passive stiffness
– Qualitative measures, estimates of joint stiffness, or groups of muscles (De Vlugt et al., 2010; Roy et al., 2011; Sinkjaer et al., 1994; Katz et al., 1989)
• Elastography (e.g.Debernard et al., 2011; Muthupillai et al., 1995)
• Shear wave elastography (e.g. Bercoff et al.,
2004; Gennisson et al., 2005; Zhao et al. 2009)
Measuring muscle “stiffness” in vivo
Goal - evaluate and compare musclematerial properties
of the more-affected and less-affected limbs of individuals with hemiplegic cerebral palsy-hemiplegic-age ave 9
• Influence of
– muscle and fascicle length
– impairment level
– torque

Why is this important?
• Local measurement of material properties – increased passive “stiffness” in more-affected muscle across ROM and fascicle strain
• Passive stiffness (collagen, titan, extracellular matrix)
• With different level of activation, can distinguish type altered stiffness
• Neurophysiological and muscular changes – sequence of events
• Evaluate treatments – e.g. bracing, boNT-A, lengthening surgeries

Execution of a task or action by an individual
CP — walking, feeding , transfers, dressing-school work
Activities — backdrop of development
24
Technologies to address activities
• Activities Walkingtask-specific repetition, sensory feedback and feedback about performance are thought to enhance the effects of practice
• Lange observed 31 physical and occupational therapy sessions at 7 different settings
• Average number of repetitions of task specific , functional movement was 32
• Animal studies use 600 repetitions per session to induce plasticity
Can you increase practice at home?

RIC Clinical Experience
RIC Outcomes Reveal
• BWSTT using Lokomat improved overall function, as measured by the 6 minute walk test and 10 meter walk test
• GMFM Domains (A/B/E) improved in GMFCS IV
• GMFM domains D/E approaching significance
• Motor ‘learning’ effect in children with cp participating in daily BWSTT –maintenance of effect after study completion
• Effects of TT better in higher level GMFCS patients
• UNCLEAR on role !
• Training schedules highly variable
• positive outcomes GMFM-D,E
• Standing, walking speed, 10 meter walk distance 6 minute
• Most improvement in younger and engaged
• No adverse effects
• Questions still remain-Can we work together and contribute to the combined data base?

Artic Mission-possible collaboration
• Collect data to develop guidelines as well as to answer scientific questions with regards to the use of robotic devices in rehabilitation
• to improve patient outcome through a sophisticated use of the devices

• Transfer of skills from TT to OG is ‘hardly definitive’
• BWS limits ‘dynamic’ trunk control
• Restricted degrees of freedom
• Altered gait dynamics and passive training ‘patterns’ limit skill acquisition
• Minimal to modest functional outcomes in ambulation
• Stroke literature points to importance of daily # steps and speed of TT

• Plasticity-motor learningNeural

• The over exuberant non-injured pathways enlarge, IPS lateral pathways or “other slower” tracks take over
• Plasticity

The problem
• Self-produced mobility plays a crucial role in a child’s cognitive and psychosocial development (Piaget 1952, Erikson 1963, Paulsson and Christofferson 1984, Verburg et al. 1984, Butler 1986).
• linked to the development of spatial cognition, emotional skills, self-awareness, increased independence, and the emergence of new capacities to cope with environmental stressors.
• inability to move independently has a significant negative impact on cognitive, perceptual, and/or motor development (Zubek et al. 1963, Tatlow 1980, Brinker and Lewis 1982, Verburg 1987)
The problem
• Mobility devices such as motorized wheelchairs require a certain level of cognitive ability and maturity to operate
• When do is the child ready for a wheelchair?
• Wheelchairs introduced at school age
• Providing daily mobility between the ages of 1 and 5 is critical, given that significant learning, brain and behavioral development is dependent on mobility during this time.
The problem
• How much does a wheelchair cost? A LOT
• How much do they weigh? A LOT
• issues
– How often do you replace?
– Battery malfunction?
– Insurance approval?
– Slow response?
– Social issues?
The solution
• At the University of Delaware, Cole Galloway launched the GoBabyGo project in 2006 with Sunil Agrawal.
• Goal to provide mobility to kids who have trouble moving on their own.
• “Modifying off-the-shelf toy racecars to provide mobility to children with crawling and walking problems, empowering them to be part of the action at home, in the daycare center, and on the playground.”
• "Interacting with kids and adults out in the world and gaining a little independence are crucial to early development. The disability no longer causes them to miss out on playtime or making friends—now they are able to participate. Other kids see the girl in the Barbie car and say, 'Wow, can I play with you?‘”

• Consistent—
• Can create intermittent reinforcement
• Can program for perfect practice
• Can be fun and tied to gaming
• Can provide feedback precise to follow progress
• Open worlds

The Promise of Recovery
• Parent’s perception of therapy is key, though studies and meta analysis do not support large changes in motor prognosis with current ongoing therapy, common experience is parent’s perceive MORE is better, and generally expect more
• Are the expected outcomes of technology at the same level as parental expectations
