My email is rharbour@unmc.edu. However, I should tell you that the vibration cushion is not available commercially, and was made specifically for this study. In addition to being custom-made (and thus very expensive), it is attached to a computer with special software to randomize and adjust the vibrations. Only the children in our study who are randomized to the vibration group have access to this equipment. And we do not yet know if it has long-lasting effects. I believe some of the studies with adults are not showing long lasting effects, so this may also be our result in sitting with children with CP. But you can be sure we will publish our results, no matter what the outcome, and if there is a positive outcome we will continue our study. Thank you again, and good luck in your studies.

I am learning physiotherapy and I have a son that is CP (quadri) - we are leaving in Israel. We are actually working on his seatting - if something can help him more it would be GREAT. How can I contact you to reach and test the vibrations plan? Thanks for your help Have a nice day, Laura Hi,

I am very interested by your studies.
I am learning physiotherapy and I have a son that is CP (quadri) – we are leaving in Israel.
We are actually working on his seatting – if something can help him more it would be GREAT.
How can I contact you to reach and test the vibrations plan?

Thanks for your help
Have a nice day,
Laura
