To evaluate the safety and efficacy of magnesium sulfate for preterm suspected abruption

The Neuromuscular Biomechanics Lab at Stanford University combines experimental and computational approaches to study movement. We investigate the form and function of biomechanical systems ranging from molecular motors to persons with movement disorders. We seek fundamental understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of movement, and are motivated by opportunities to improve treatments for individuals with cerebral palsy, stroke, osteoarthritis, and Parkinson's disease.

Stanford Clinical Trial and study Optimizing Assisted Communication Devices for Children with Motor Impairments using a model of Information Rate and Channel Capacity

Stanford trial and study to learn about upper extremity hypertonia (stiffness) in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. Specifically, they want to learn about ways to measure the stiffness in the joints of hypertonic arms. The information the research team will collect includes any physical exams or computer generated data about your arm movements.

Study to determine if the drug 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate can help reduce the risk of preterm delivery in women with certain risk factors for preterm birth. We hope to learn whether this same medication can be used to prolong pregnancy in a group of patients in whom this medication has not been previously studied. Specifically, we hope to learn whether progesterone supplementation will delay delivery in women with pre-term, premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).

Stanford trial assessing use of Theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) as a new, non-invasive therapeutic intervention to aid in physical therapy and symptom amelioration of dystonia and spasticity

Stanford University sponsored study of trihexyphenidyl in children with upper extremity dystonia due to cerebral palsy. It is hypothesized that trihexyphenidyl in doses up to 0.75mg/kg/day would be well-tolerated and show significant changes on the Melbourne scale of upper extremity function.

Stanford University completed study on the relationship between spasticity and strength in children with cerebral palsy and reducing spasticity permits and increase in strength
