7-12 years
Phase:
PHASE3
Brief Summary
Cerebral palsy (CP) concerns 2 children out of 1000 in the general population (SCPE 2002). It is the main cause of postural and motor deficits in children. During the past 20 years, the postural defi...
Detailed Description
Within this scientific and clinical context, we hypothesize: * That CP children will be less stable than healthy children (in control situation) and that the attentional cost for controlling static p...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- CP children with postural and/or motor deficits due to early cerebral deficits (from conception to 2 years of age according to G. Tardieu) non hereditary and non evolutionary.
- Aged 7 to 12 years because before 7 years of age the range and speed of postural control exhibit a great variability and after 12, our eligibility criteria are not standardized
- presenting a clinical CP diplegia or hemiplegia (cf. EMGF),
- able to stand upright without assistance for at least (real recording time of 30 sec during the experiment) on a force platform (L 50 cm x l 50 cm x h 4,4 cm) and to walk straight ahead on a walking track (518 cm long x 90 cm wide and 0,5 cm thin) without assistance,
- without severe visual or hearing deficit (\>0,3 for the worse eye without correction or hearing loss \<70db for the worse ear without correction) as indicated in the personal medical report
- without hyperactivity trouble (Conners' questionnaires non significant \<70), without major attentional deficits (images matching test), without denomination troubles (ELOLA test), able to perform dual tasks (Tea-ch test).
Exclusion
- parents' or children' informed consent rejected,
- Participation to another biomedical experiment during this study,
- Children unable to control upright posture without assistance for at least 45 sec on a force platform (L 50 cm x l 50 cm x h 4.4 cm) or unable to walk without assistance
- Absence of social security coverage.
