Can External Neuromodulation Garments Improve Gait and Function in Children With Cerebral Palsy? A Prospective Single-Arm Study.

Introduction: The Exopulse Mollii Suit is an external electrical stimulation garment that is designed to reduce spasticity through electrical stimulation of targeted muscles. Our aims were to study the impact of the garment in improving gait and function in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Individuals aged 4-18 years with spastic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System level I-III were included for a prospective single-arm study from January 2021 to January 2022.

The Test of Infant Motor Performance (TIMP) in very low birth weight infants and outcome at two years of age.

Objective: To evaluate TIMP in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) infants, analyze risk factors, for atypical TIMP (aTIMP) scores, and explore TIMP's predictive relationship with Bayley-III at 2 years.

Method: A prospective study of 288 VLBW infants, with TIMP assessment between 34 weeks postmenstrual age and 16 weeks age, corrected for prematurity.

Result: aTIMP scores were observed in 58/288(20%) infants, whose mean birth weight (BW) and gestational age were 1122 ± 257 g and 29.
