The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 12 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Cognitive state that allows understanding and subsequent correct execution of the motor activity required during the execution of the BBT
- Trunk Control Test: item 3 = 25 (Collin \& Wade, 1990)
- Absence of orthopedic problems at the level of the upper limb; For pyramidal hemisyndrome:
- Moderate/mild motor impairment assessed with:
- Manual Ability Classification System (MACS): with values from 1 to 2 (Eliasson AC et al., 2006)
- Bimanual Fine Motor Function Scale (BFMF): with values from 1 to 4 (Beckung \& Hagberg, 2002)
- Modified Ashworth Scale upper limb (MAS): with values ≤2; For Down syndrome:; -genetic diagnosis
Who cannot take part
- Presence of concomitant neurological pathologies that influence motor function
- Presence of joint pathologies that limit the range of motion of the upper limbs
- Inability (motor, cognitive) to maintain the described position for the time necessary to perform the test
- Lack of collaboration of the subject
- Participants who have not signed the informed consent to the study

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The following study aims to standardize the instrumented BBT for the objective evaluation of upper limb joint kinematics using MoCap on a population of healthy subjects between 4 and 18 years of age. After defining normative data characteristic of the gesture, the study aims to characterize the pathological upper limb movement in pediatric subjects with pyramidal hemisyndrome (cerebral palsy, arteriovenous malformation, brain tumors and head trauma) and Down Syndrome, comparing the data obtained with the normative data.
The 3 groups in the trial
- Healthy children
healthy subjects, aged 4 to 18 years, without any upper limb disorder, collaborative
Treatment: Inertial Measurement Unit and Box and Block test
- Down Syndrome
Subjects with Down syndrome, genetic diagnosis, aged 4 to 18 years
Treatment: Inertial Measurement Unit and Box and Block test
- Pyramidal hemisyndrome
Subjects with pyramidal hemisyndrome, aged 4 to 18 years with moderate/mild motor impairment assessed with: * Manual Ability Classification System (MACS): with values from 1 to 2 (Eliasson AC et al., 2006) * Bimanual Fine Motor Function Scale (BFMF): with values from 1 to 4 (Beckung \& Hagberg, 2002) * Modified Ashworth Scale upper limb (MAS): with values ≤2
Treatment: Inertial Measurement Unit and Box and Block test
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
