The Impact of Social Robot Interaction on Engagement and Narrative Complexity in Primary School Children
Social robots are increasingly being integrated into educational settings as they can enhance engagement and learning, particularly in young learners. This study explored the impact of a social robot (NAO) during a storytelling activity with primary school children, focusing on engagement, narrative skills, and introspective language, compared to the interaction with a standard technological device such as a tablet). It was hypothesized that, in …
Act-on-Dip
Background : Children with diplegic Cerebral Palsy often exhibit upper-limb (UL) motor impairments compounded by deficits in visuospatial, sensory, and executive functions. Despite this, research has primarily focused on lower-limb rehabilitation, leaving the treatment of UL function in diplegic Cerebral Palsy underexplored. Action Observation Therapy (AOT), based on Mirror Neuron System activation, has shown promise in promoting motor recovery, …
Contextual risk factors for atypical motor development in infants exposed to poverty
The wide world of technological telerehabilitation for pediatric neurologic and neurodevelopmental disorders – a systematic review
Feasibility of a Virtual Reality System in Speech Therapy
This study paves the way for VRRS use in speech-therapy tele-rehabilitation for children with CP and language and learning difficulties
Association between Contextual Factors and Affordances in the Home Environment of Infants Exposed to Poverty
Home environments of infants exposed to poverty exhibit fewer affordances for child development. This study aimed to investigate the association between contextual factors and affordances in the home environments of infants facing poverty. Term infants ( n = 128) were divided into two groups: (1) exposed group (EG), comprising term infants exposed to poverty, and (2) comparison group (CG), consisting of term infants classified with medium and hig…
Differences in clinical presentation, severity, and treatment of Covid-19 among individuals with Down syndrome from India and high-income countries
Background: People with Down syndrome (DS) are one of the highest risk groups for mortality associated with COVID-19, but outcomes may differ across countries due to different co-morbidity profiles, exposures, and societal practices, which could have implications for disease management. This study is designed to identify differences in clinical presentation, severity, and treatment of COVID-19 between India and several high-income countries (HICs…
New Technological Approach for the Evaluation of Postural Control Abilities in Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder
Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) causes difficulties in postural control which are crucial to assess due to their impact on everyday life. There is a lack of suitable tools to acquire quantitative data and deeply analyze postural control, especially during the developmental age. The aim of this study is to investigate postural control skills in children with DCD and typically developing children (TD) using the Virtual Reality…
Parental Practices and Environmental Differences among Infants Living in Upper-Middle and High-Income Countries
Parental practices and environmental factors can impact a child’s development and, consequently, functionality. The objective is to assess the parental practices and environmental differences in healthy and at-risk infants at 3–6 months of age living in upper-middle (Brazil) and high-income (Italy) countries. A total group of 115 infants was identified and classified into four groups: healthy Italian infants (H_IT); Italian infants exposed to bio…
