Silvia L. Pavão Rago is Full Professor at the Department of Prevention and Rehabilitation in Physical Therapy, Paraná Federal University (BR) and member of the postgraduate Program in Physical Education, Paraná Federal University. She is graduated in Physical Therapy by the São Carlos Federal University (BR), MSc and PhD in Physical Therapy by the São Carlos Federal University, with sandwich internship at Vrije Universiteit (VU University) (NL) and post doctorate at São Carlos Federal University in motor control. Her research interest is the study of functionality and disability in children and adolescents, including biomechanical aspects of movement and evaluation of biopsychosocial determinants of functioning.

Background: Postural control regulation involves sensory and cognitive process in organization and integration of motor information. It is common in daily routine to observe performance of cognitive and postural tasks simultaneously. Considering that cognition and postural control might require common central processing mechanisms, the simultaneous accomplishment of these tasks would beco…
Postural control regulation involves the integration of multiples sources of sensorial inputs. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit postural control deficits due to sensoriomotor impairments. Nevertheless, a few studies have assessed the impact of sensorial manipulation (visual and tactile) on the postural control of children with cerebral palsy, especially during the performance of …
The Sit to Stand (STS) activity it is a important milestones acquired in the first year of life, allowing a wide child's interaction with the environment. How this activity request a great biomechanics and neuromuscular demand it is a impairment activity in cases of dysfunctions like cerebral palsy (CP). One of the possible reasons to the impaired performance in this activity is the poor …
Sensory processing is essential to postural control modulation and to the accomplishment of daily life activities. Regarding the neuromuscular deficits arising from central nervous system injury, which characterizes cerebral palsy (CP), sensory processing of children with CP is impaired determining the impairments in postural control observed in these children. Recent studies have been e…
