Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
The death rates from posterior fossa tumors (PFT) have declined significantly over the past decades. Children and adolescents who survived this kind of tumor without metastases demonstrate 5-year survival rates of 90%. Standard treatment for posterior fossa tumors includes surgical rejection, which can be combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, treatment factors can cause the impairment of motor and cognitive functions, which influence negatively speech, academic achievements, and quality of life. Such an outcome can be induced by tumor growth process as well. One of the most essential consequences of the disease is cognitive deficiency in the areas of attention, working memory, and executive functions.
The cerebellum pathology often causes deficits of motor skills. Considering that motor system has a hierarchal organization, PFT can cause the impairment of all the system, starting with gross motor skills and ending in the finest eye movements. The cerebellum has been shown to control voluntary eye movements, particularly such parameters as accuracy and velocity of saccades, fixation duration, etc.
Given the effect of probable deficits on a child's daily life, the issue of cognitive and motor remediation programs is in the spotlight today. There is some evidence that interventions targeting cognitive functions (e.g. working memory, short-term memory, attention, planning) and motor skills (gross and fine motor skills, muscle strength, agility) can be effective in these patients.
However, only few of remediation programs focus on visual-motor co-ordination and saccadic eye movements system, despite the fact that they provide the basis for higher-level functions, such as sustained attention, working memory, and planning.
The research conducted in Clinical Rehabilitation Research Center "Russkoe Pole" has revealed that treatment gains in the areas of motor skills, and specifically saccadic eye movements, are positively associated with the enhancement of attention and working memory. Given this, the investigators can suggest that this improvement is connected with the reduction of extra saccadic movements and consequently the decrease of irrelevant information to be processed. This mechanism can be generalized to the other executive functions, such as shifting, inhibition, and planning.
This trial will allow the investigators to determine potential feasibility of rehabilitation program targeting motor and cognitive functions, as well as the saccadic system, in pediatric posterior fossa tumor survivors.

---|---|
Experimental: Training Group
Training Group recieved cognitive and Motor training included 6 sessions using the following training devices.
|
In the first phase of the trial, all participants (patients and healthy children) will complete cognitive and motor functions assessment. Then the sample of patients who have cognitive/motor impairment will be randomized to an either Intervention or Control group. In the second phase of the trial, survivors in the Intervention Group will receive 6 sessions of cognitive and motor training during two weeks, and survivors in Control Group will undergo ….. After this treatment phase, motor and cognitive functions assessment will be conducted in all patients once again. In the third phase, the Control Group will be provided the active intervention (i.e. 6 sessions of cognitive and motor training during two weeks), while the Intervention Group engages in passive reading. After this, motor and cognitive functions assessment will be carried out in all patients once again. |
No Intervention: Control Group
Control Group didn't recieved any cognitive and motor training.
They visited swimming pool and physical therapy.
