Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2023 Jan;34(1):e13909. doi: 10.1111/pai.13909. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Dysfunctional breathing (DB) has been shown to negatively affect asthma control in adults, but for children and adolescents, the knowledge is scarce. DB is among others characterized by dyspnea and hyperventilation. The Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ) is often used as a marker for DB. We conducted a …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a prominent neurorehabilitation approach for improving affected upper extremity motor function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). However, the restraint of the less-affected upper extremity and intensive training protocol during CIMT may decrease children’s motivation and increase the therapist’s …
