Cardiac autonomic dysfunction has been reported in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). The
aim of this study was to assess the existing literature on heart rate variability (HRV) in …

Objective: A systematic review which aims to assess the evidence regarding the function of
the autonomic heart rate regulation system among children with cerebral palsy (CP) …

The biological embedding of early life stress exposure may result in life‐long
neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants. Infants hospitalized in the neonatal …

Background Adverse neurologic outcome in preterm infants could be associated with
abnormal heart rate (HR) characteristics as well as with abnormal general movements …

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity in
adulthood. Imbalance in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) has been implicated as a …

Aims: To measure heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) at rest, during and after
walking among children with cerebral palsy (CP) as compared to age matched typically …

Apart from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, the pituitary and pineal glands and
the suprachiasmatic nucleus are also involved in determining autonomic functions. Western …

Patients with severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID) often suffer from autonomic
nervous system disturbances. At the same time, the caregivers of patients with SMID face …

Background Efforts to improve the participation and performance of children with cerebral
palsy (CP) are often related to the adaptation of environmental conditions to meet their …

BACKGROUND: In a previous study we demonstrated that heart variability parameters
(HRV) could be helpful clinically as well as a prognostic tool in infants with central …
