Assessing sensorimotor and executive function challenges in cerebral palsy patients
Study for the Quantification in Ecological Conditions of Sensorimotor and Dysexecutive Disorders in Cerebral Palsy Patients
Direction Centrale du Service de Santé des Armées · NCT05017051
This study is trying to see how well people with cerebral palsy can handle everyday tasks and emotions compared to healthy individuals to better understand their challenges.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to quantify sensorimotor and dysexecutive disorders in patients with cerebral palsy by utilizing real-life task evaluations rather than traditional neuropsychological tests. The study will involve patients with dysexecutive syndrome and healthy subjects over 18 years old, assessing their abilities through engaging tasks such as building Lego models and measuring emotional expressions. By observing patients in more naturalistic settings, the study seeks to provide a more accurate understanding of their executive function challenges.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 with dysexecutive syndrome or healthy individuals without neurological or psychiatric conditions.
Not a fit: Patients with significant psychiatric pathologies or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved assessment methods for dysexecutive syndrome, enhancing the quality of life for patients with cerebral palsy.
How similar studies have performed: While traditional assessments have been widely used, this approach of evaluating executive functions in ecological conditions is relatively novel and may provide new insights.
