Abstract
To identify quantitative parameters that are sensitive enough to detect impairments and improvements of grasping in children after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by analyzing the isometric fingertip forces of a precision grip-lift task. Follow-up and case-control study. Tertiary pediatric trauma rehabilitation center in Germany. Thirteen children (age range, 5-14 y) with moderate or severe TBI. Trauma severity was assessed with the Glasgow Coma Scale (score range, 3-9) and the Injury Severity Score (range, 16-66 points). Control data were obtained from 13 age- and gender-matched healthy children. Not applicable. Children were examined 3 times (t0, t1, t2). The first date of examination (t0) was defined by the Barthel Index (part B, >20 points). Reexaminations followed after 1 (t1) and 5 (t2) months of inpatient rehabilitation. Quantitative measures included 3 grip-force parameters, 2 load force parameters, 1 parameter of the coordination between grip force and load force, and 3 timing parameters in a precision grip-lift task. Clinical improvements and recovery of activities of daily living were described with the Barthel Index (qualitative measure). Peak grip force, maximum negative load force, grip force in the static phase and ...Continue Reading
