About this study

Official title: Effect of Rehabilitation in Deficiencies, Activities Limitations and Restrictions of the Participation of the Children Presenting Neurological Lesions. Impact of Contextual Factors on the Functioning of These Patients. Part II

This study aims to investigate the changes induced by HABIT-ILE in impairments, activity and participation of children with unilateral CP, as well as neuroplastic changes induced by the treatment. Visuospatial deficits will be investigated and the effect of prismatic adaptation will be measured.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to investigate the changes induced by HABIT-ILE at the 3 levels of the international classification of functioning and health (ICF) in children with unilateral CP, as well as neuroplastic changes induced by the treatment. Visuospatial deficits will be investigated and the effect of prismatic adaptation will be measured.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HABIT-ILE with prismatic adaptationBehavioural

    Bimanual and locomotor intensive intervention for 90h including 8 hours of prismatic adaptation

  • HABIT-ILE without prismatic adaptationBehavioural

    Bimanual and locomotor intensive intervention for 90h including 8 hours of prismatic adaptation wearing sham goggles.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. changes in star cancellation

    number of little stars omitted in a frame including many stars of different size

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  2. change in "Ogden Figure" test

    number of elements omitted when reproducing a drawing

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  3. changes in line bissection

    deviation from midline during line section

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  4. visuo-spatial pointing

    pointing in a blind box in the direction of a visual cue, measuring the deviation from midline

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  5. proprioceptive pointing

    pointing without any visual feedback in the direction of body midline and measuring deviation

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Jebsen-Taylor test of hand function

    Manual dexterity measured with objects of everyday life, measure=time to manipulate objects

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  2. functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)

    cortical activation (changes in voxels activation)

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  3. Box and blocks

    number of blocks manipulated in one minute

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  4. Assisting Hand Assessment

    help provided by the paretic hand to the non-paretic one in bimanual coordination

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  5. "ABILHAND-Kids" questionnaire

    parents-reported questionnaire measuring manual ability

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  6. "ACTIVLIM-CP" questionnaire

    parents-reported questionnaire measuring global activity performance

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  7. Canadian Occupationnal Performance Measure

    setting therapeutic goals with parents and measuring both performance and satisfaction (%)

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

  8. diffusion tensor imaging (DDTI)

    measuring changes in white matter tracts (fractional anisotropy, number of voxels)

    Measured: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HABIT-ILE with prismatic adaptation and HABIT-ILE without prismatic adaptation in people with Cerebral Palsy, run by Université Catholique de Louvain at 1 site in Belgium.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

changes in star cancellation (time frame: at baseline and after 90 hours/two weeks of intensive bimanual intervention). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Dec 2020.
