Contextualization: Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have non-progressive motor impairments that can change over time and according to their functional classification, leading to varied healthcare needs. Despite the recognized need for multidisciplinary care, there is a scarcity of studies describing access to services and longitudinal changes in motor performance among Brazilian child…
Introduction: In recent years, there has been significant encouragement for increased involvement of citizens and patients in the development of academic research, aiming to ensure that the perspectives and needs of stakeholders are adequately represented. In Brazil, studies with participatory methodology and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) are still in their early stages, and the pr…
Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a common disorder in children, characterized by altered development of motor coordination and potential impacts on participation. However, there are no studies that investigate the participation of Brazilian children with DCD at home, school and community. Objectives: To compare the frequency, involvement, number of activities and t…
Introduction: Postural control occurs due to an interaction of different body systems and is responsible for stabilizing and aligning the body in the space by preserving the center of pressure (CoP) projection. Individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have an important limitation about postural instability, responsible for changes in functional mobility. Studies have suggested that changes in…
Due to advances in health care, individuals with Cerebral Palsy (CP) had their life expectancy increased, but information on the acquisition of autonomy in participation, and on how relevant factors change over time during the transition to adulthood in this population in Brazil are practically non-existent. Objectives: To identify determinants for the acquisition of autonomy in participa…
