Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND HABIT-ILE has a positive impact on the motor improvements of children with CP. Whether this therapy has an impact on the executive functions of those children is unknown. OBJECTIVE Investigate if HABIT-ILE has an impact on the executive functions and if a relationship exists between the changes observed in the executive functions and the changes observed in the motor function. METHODS 36 children with UCP from 5 to 17 years old were randomized into 2 groups: control group and treatment group. The children were assessed using the Stroop test and the Flanker test, as well as the Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function, the Box and Block Test, the Six Minutes’ Walk Test, the ACTIVLIM-CP, the ABILHAND-Kids, the ABILOCO-Kids, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory. RESULTS A 2 (groups) x 3 (test session) analysis of variance indicated significant improvements on the executive functions immediately after therapy and 3 months later. Moreover, negative correlations have been highlighted between the changes at the Stroop and Flanker test and the changes in functional assessments. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that HABIT-ILE has a positive impact on the top-down executive control for children with CP. Additionally, this study provides evidence of the positive impact of motor rehabilitation on the executive control.
