Cerebral Palsy
A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see MUSCLE SPASTICITY) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (Little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be associated with LEUKOMALACIA, PERIVENTRICULAR. (From Dev Med Child Neurol 1998 Aug;40(8):520-7)
Bell Palsy
A syndrome characterized by the acute onset of unilateral FACIAL PARALYSIS which progresses over a 2-5 day period. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle and resulting incomplete eye closure may be associated with corneal injury. Pain behind the ear often precedes the onset of paralysis. This condition may be associated with HERPESVIRUS 1, HUMAN infection of the facial nerve. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1376)
Cerebral Arteries
The arterial blood vessels supplying the CEREBRUM.
Muscle Spasticity
A form of muscle hypertonia associated with upper MOTOR NEURON DISEASE. Resistance to passive stretch of a spastic muscle results in minimal initial resistance (a "free interval") followed by an incremental increase in muscle tone. Tone increases in proportion to the velocity of stretch. Spasticity is usually accompanied by HYPERREFLEXIA and variable degrees of MUSCLE WEAKNESS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p54)
Cerebral Infarction
The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).
Equinus Deformity
Plantar declination of the foot.
Hemiplegia
Severe or complete loss of motor function on one side of the body. This condition is usually caused by BRAIN DISEASES that are localized to the cerebral hemisphere opposite to the side of weakness. Less frequently, BRAIN STEM lesions; cervical SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; and other conditions may manifest as hemiplegia. The term hemiparesis (see PARESIS) refers to mild to moderate weakness involving one side of the body.
Motor Skills
Performance of complex motor acts.
Cerebrovascular Circulation

Clinical manifestations include VISION DISORDERS; CEREBRAL PALSY; PARAPLEGIA; SEIZURES; and cognitive disorders. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1021; Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1997, Ch4, pp30-1)
Facial Paralysis
Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.
Athetosis
A dyskinesia characterized by an inability to maintain the fingers, toes, tongue, or other body parts in a stable position, resulting in continuous slow, sinusoidal, and flowing involuntary movements. This condition is frequently accompanied by CHOREA, where it is referred to as choreoathetosis. Athetosis may occur as a manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES or DRUG TOXICITY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p76)
Neuromuscular Agents
Drugs used for their actions on skeletal muscle. Included are agents that act directly on skeletal muscle, those that alter neuromuscular transmission (NEUROMUSCULAR BLOCKING AGENTS), and drugs that act centrally as skeletal muscle relaxants (MUSCLE RELAXANTS, CENTRAL).

Quadriplegia
Severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from BRAIN DISEASES; SPINAL CORD DISEASES; PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES; NEUROMUSCULAR DISEASES; or rarely MUSCULAR DISEASES. The locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. Consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. This condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper BRAIN STEM which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.

A general term most often used to describe severe or complete loss of muscle strength due to motor system disease from the level of the cerebral cortex to the muscle fiber. This term may also occasionally refer to a loss of sensory function. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p45)
Infant, Premature
A human infant born before 37 weeks of GESTATION.
Bulbar Palsy, Progressive
A motor neuron disease marked by progressive weakness of the muscles innervated by cranial nerves of the lower brain stem. Clinical manifestations include dysarthria, dysphagia, facial weakness, tongue weakness, and fasciculations of the tongue and facial muscles. The adult form of the disease is marked initially by bulbar weakness which progresses to involve motor neurons throughout the neuroaxis. Eventually this condition may become indistinguishable from AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS. Fazio-Londe syndrome is an inherited form of this illness which occurs in children and young adults. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1091; Brain 1992 Dec;115(Pt 6):1889-1900)

The nerve may be injured along its course in the pons, intracranially as it travels along the base of the brain, in the cavernous sinus, or at the level of superior orbital fissure or orbit. Dysfunction of the nerve causes lateral rectus muscle weakness, resulting in horizontal diplopia that is maximal when the affected eye is abducted and ESOTROPIA. Common conditions associated with nerve injury include INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; ISCHEMIA; and INFRATENTORIAL NEOPLASMS.

With a complete oculomotor palsy, the eyelid will be paralyzed, the eye will be in an abducted and inferior position, and the pupil will be markedly dilated. Commonly associated conditions include neoplasms, CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA, ischemia (especially in association with DIABETES MELLITUS), and aneurysmal compression. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p270)

Clinical features include HEADACHE; NAUSEA; VOMITING, nuchal rigidity, variable neurological deficits and reduced mental status.
Hypoxia, Brain
A reduction in brain oxygen supply due to ANOXEMIA (a reduced amount of oxygen being carried in the blood by HEMOGLOBIN), or to a restriction of the blood supply to the brain, or both. Severe hypoxia is referred to as anoxia, and is a relatively common cause of injury to the central nervous system. Prolonged brain anoxia may lead to BRAIN DEATH or a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE. Histologically, this condition is characterized by neuronal loss which is most prominent in the HIPPOCAMPUS; GLOBUS PALLIDUS; CEREBELLUM; and inferior olives.

Predicting the outcome of adductor tenotomy. (1/1174)

This study reviewed 57 hips in 30 children (18 girls and 12 boys) with cerebral palsy who had undergone an adductor tenotomy alone or in combination with an anterior obturator neurectomy (23 hips). Results were evaluated by the Reimers migration percentage (MP). The hips were split into three groups: group A (12 hips) a preoperative MP of less than 20%, group B (25 hips) between 20 and 40%, and group C (20 hips) more than 40%. The mean age at the time of surgery was 6 years and 1 month (range: 2.5-13 years). The mean period of review was 6 years and 3 months (2-20 years). The results were considered as "good" when radiographs at the longest follow-up showed a decrease of > 10% of the MP, as "bad" when they showed an increase of > 10%, and as "stable" when the MPs varied less than 10%. At the latest review of group A, 11 were stable (92%) and 1 was bad. In group B, 12 were stable (48%), 7 were good (28%), and 6 were bad (24%). In group C, 7 were stable (35%), and 13 were bad (65%). The preoperative migration percentage provided to be the only predictor of outcome. Age at the time of surgery had no constant significant effect on the outcome, neither had the addition of an anterior neurectomy.  (+info)

Can routine information systems be used to monitor serious disability? (2/1174)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether reliable birth cohort prevalence rates of disabling conditions in early childhood can be obtained from child health information systems. DESIGN: Comparison of two sources of information on motor and sensory disabilities: from child health information systems held by health authorities, and a population register that uses multiple sources of ascertainment. SETTING: The counties of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Northamptonshire. PARTICIPANTS: Children born to residents of the three counties between 1984 and 1989. RESULTS: Eight hundred and twenty children (6.0/1000 live births) were identified from the child health system as having one or more of the conditions, and 580 (4.2/1000 live births) were identified from the population register; however, only 284 children were identified by both sources. CONCLUSIONS: It is currently impossible to monitor trends in the prevalence rate of disabling disorders in childhood using the child health information systems. Agreement about ways of collecting, recording, and collating information on disability would be a useful step towards realising the full potential of these systems.  (+info)

Trends in incidence of cranial ultrasound lesions and cerebral palsy in very low birthweight infants 1982-93. (3/1174)

AIM: To evaluate the effects of changing perinatal practice on outcome in terms of cranial ultrasound appearances and subsequent cerebral palsy rates in survivors. METHODS: A tertiary neonatal centre based prospective cohort study was undertaken of very low birthweight infants, in three 4 year periods: 1982-5, 1986-9, 1990-3. Rates of survival, parenchymal cerebral haemorrhage (PH), and leucomalacia on cerebral ultrasound scans, and cerebral palsy (CP) at the age of 3 years were compared. Antenatal steroid prophylaxis and postnatal surfactant use were also compared. RESULTS: VLBW infants (1722) were admitted over the 12 years, of whom 1268 (73.6%) were discharged home. Neonatal survival increased significantly over the three periods (69.2%, 72.9%, 79.7%; p < 0.0001). PH declined from 14.9% to 10.5% (p = 0.032) after 1990 as did CP rate (10.9% to 7.3%; p = 0.046). The use of antenatal steroids and postnatal surfactant greatly increased during this period. Steroid use was significantly associated with increased survival (OR 3.34, 2.31-4.79), decreased PH (OR 0.44, 0.28-0.71), and decreased risk of CP in survivors (OR 0.47, 0.27-0.81) after standardising for gestation, birthweight, sex, place and mode of delivery. Similar effects for surfactant did not remain significant after steroid use had been accounted for. CONCLUSION: Improved survival in VLBW infants since 1990 has been accompanied by a fall in PH and subsequent CP rates in survivors. This change is most likely to be due to the greater use of antenatal steroid prophylaxis.  (+info)

Outcome of very severe birth asphyxia. (4/1174)

The aim of this study was to establish the outcome of very severe birth asphyxia in a group of babies intensively resuscitated at birth. 48 infants, born between 1966 and 1971 inclusive, were selected; 15 were apparently stillborn and 33 had not established spontaneous respirations by 20 minutes after birth. One-half of them died, but 3 to 7 years later three-quarters of the survivors are apparently normal. Later handicap was associated with factors leading to prolonged partial intrapartum asphyxia, while acute periods of more complete asphyxia were not necessarily harmful.  (+info)

Kinematic and qualitative analysis of lower-extremity movements in preterm infants with brain lesions. (5/1174)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effects of preterm birth, severe brain lesions, and postterm age on kicking movements of young infants and to compare the prognostic value of kinematic analysis of kicking with a qualitative assessment of infants' spontaneous movements. SUBJECTS: The subjects were 12 full-term infants without brain injury, 12 low-risk preterm infants without brain injury, and 11 preterm infants with severe brain lesions (periventricular leukomalacia). METHODS: Videotape recordings of each infant's motor behavior in a supine position were made at 1 and 3 months postterm age. Kicking frequency, temporal organization of the kick cycle, coordination among different joints, and interlimb coordination were measured. A qualitative assessment for lower-extremity movements and a Gestalt judgment of general movement quality according to Prechtl's method were made from the same videotape recordings. RESULTS: Kinematic analysis showed only mild differences among the 3 groups of infants. Qualitative assessment of the lower-extremity movements, however, showed that preterm infants with brain lesions, and particularly those who later were found to have cerebral palsy, consistently had fewer segmental movements of the foot and abnormal general movements at both ages. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: The data suggest that the mechanisms responsible for kicking movements in newborns and young infants do not appear to be influenced by the extrauterine environment or by brain lesions, at least at the ages studied. Qualitative assessment of lower-extremity and general movements seems to be more appropriate for clinical purposes.  (+info)

Prospective evaluation of perinatal risk factors for cerebral palsy and delayed development in high risk infants. (6/1174)

Prematurity, intrauterine infection and perinatal brain injury have been reported to be significant risk factors of cerebral palsy (CP). We examined the perinatal predictors of cerebral palsy and delayed development (DD) in 184 high risk infants. Thirty-five infants were diagnosed as cerebral palsy and delayed development at 12 months corrected age. Antenatal, intrapartum, and neonatal factors were prospectively evaluated in 2 groups of high risk infants compared with controls; Group A (n = 79), infants weighing less than 2,000 g; Group B (n = 43), infants weighing 2,000 g or more. In univariate analysis, there were no significant antenatal and intrapartum factors associated with cerebral palsy and delayed development in either group. We found that significant postnatal risk factors of CP in group A included sepsis (p = 0.008), BPD (bronchopulmonary dysplasia) (p = 0.028), IVH (intraventricular hemorrhage) (p = 0.042), ventriculomegaly (VM) (p = 0.001) and a longer duration of mechanical ventilation (p = 0.001); while in group B, sepsis (p = 0.047) and neonatal seizure (p = 0.027) were significant risk factors. In multivariate analysis, sepsis in group B was a moderate risk factor of CP (OR (odds ratio) 1.47; 95% CI (confidence interval) 1.02-2.13). In conclusion, neonatal sepsis may contribute to the development of cerebral palsy and delayed development. We suggest that high risk infants who have sepsis should be carefully followed for cerebral palsy and delayed development. The prevention of cerebral palsy may be feasible by decreasing neonatal risk factors such as sepsis during the neonatal period.  (+info)

Cause of death in cerebral palsy: a descriptive study. (7/1174)

BACKGROUND: Cause specific research on death certification in chronic disease has rarely involved cerebral palsy. AIMS: To evaluate cause of death information in people known to have cerebral palsy by: describing the cause of death distribution; determining case ascertainment using death certification as the data source; and analysing the choice of wording and its arrangement in the "cause of death statement". STUDY CASES AND SETTING: People with early or late impairment cerebral palsy who died by 30 June 1998, on the population based Mersey Cerebral Palsy Register born 1966-91 to mothers resident locally. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive study of the multiply coded cause of death statements from National Health Service Central Register flagging. RESULTS: Death certificate copies were acquired for all 282 (13.4%) of the 2102 registered cases who died. Cerebral palsy was the most common "underlying cause of death" (95 of 282; 33.7%) and was mentioned in a further 61 cases. The underlying cause of death was more likely to be cerebral palsy with increasingly severe disability and was derived from Part II in 16 of 95 cases. CONCLUSIONS: The potential of death certification for case ascertainment of cerebral palsy is important, but limited, even with multiple cause coding. Mortality data need careful interpretation as a proxy source for examining trends and patterns in cerebral palsy.  (+info)

Prevalence of cerebral palsy in China. (8/1174)

BACKGROUND: A population-based study on the prevalence of cerebral palsy has not been previously carried out in China. The purpose of the present paper was to determine the overall and birthweight-specific prevalence of cerebral palsy. METHODS: A cross-sectional study of cerebral palsy was carried out among 388192 children aged <7 years in seven cities of Jiangsu province in China from May to July 1997. Information about birthweight was obtained from routine health care records. Doctors from township and city hospitals examined all eligible children and doctors at city level finally diagnosed all cases. All the doctors involved had taken part in a training programme held by Beijing Medical University in April 1997. RESULTS: The total prevalence of cerebral palsy was 1.6 per 1000 children and the birthweight-adjusted prevalence 2.8 per 1000 children (using Australia's neonatal survivors 1994 as a standard population). The overall neonatal mortality rate was 6.8 per 1000 live births, being highest (581.1 per 1000) in the 1000-1499 g birthweight group. The birthweight-specific cerebral palsy prevalence ranged from 0.8 per 1000 children in children weighing 3750-3999 g to 67.3 in children weighing 1500-1749 g. Children weighing 3500-3999 g at birth were at the lowest risk of cerebral palsy. In a given low birthweight group the prevalence of cerebral palsy in China was higher than that in developed countries even though this study was unable to include those who died at risk of, or with cerebral palsy. However, the prevalence of cerebral palsy at normal birthweight was almost the same as that in developed countries. In all, about 2% of all children were of low birthweight (<2500 g), with those weighing <1500 g accounting for about 0.02%. Children weighing <2500 g at birth contributed 24% of all cerebral palsy cases with 99% in the group 1500-2499 g. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of cerebral palsy for children aged <7 years is 1.6 per 1000 children. It is estimated that there are 310000 children with cerebral palsy in China and as the survival of low birthweight infants improves the prevalence of cerebral palsy will rise. Survival of low birthweight infants is lower in China than in developed countries and our findings suggest the survival quality of these Chinese children needs to be improved and that intrapartum and neonatal antecedents might play an important role in the aetiology of cerebral palsy compared to developed countries.  (+info)

What Kind Of Cerebral Palsy Is Caused By Lack Of Oxygen At Birth? - John H. Fisher, P.C.
There are four types of cerebral palsy: spastic cerebral palsy, athetoid cerebral palsy, ataxic cerebral palsy and mixed cerebral palsy.. Development of the brain starts in early pregnancy and continues until about age three. Damage to the brain during this time may result in cerebral palsy. This damage interferes with messages from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain. Cerebral palsy is not a progressive condition-damage to the brain is a one-time event so it will not get worse.. All children with cerebral palsy have damage to the area of the brain that controls muscle tone. As a result, they may have increased muscle tone, reduced muscle tone, or a combination of the two (fluctuating tone).. While birth trauma can cause different kinds of cerebral palsy, the most common form of cerebral palsy associated with the lack of oxygen at birth is spastic cerebral palsy. Spastic cerebral palsy is the most common type of cerebral palsy, accounting for 80% of all cerebral palsy cases. ...

Athetoid cerebral palsy - WikipediaAthetoid cerebral palsy - Wikipedia
Athetoid cerebral palsy or dyskinetic cerebral palsy (sometimes abbreviated ADCP) is a type of cerebral palsy primarily associated with damage, like other forms of CP, to the basal ganglia in the form of lesions that occur during brain development due to bilirubin encephalopathy and hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. Unlike spastic or ataxic cerebral palsies, ADCP is characterized by both hypertonia and hypotonia, due to the affected individuals inability to control muscle tone. Clinical diagnosis of ADCP typically occurs within 18 months of birth and is primarily based upon motor function and neuroimaging techniques. While there are no cures for ADCP, some drug therapies as well as speech, occupational therapy, and physical therapy have shown capacity for treating the symptoms. Classification of cerebral palsy can be based on severity, topographic distribution, or motor function. Severity is typically assessed via the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) or the International ...

Background: In normal gait, the ankle plantar flexors provide most propulsive energy during push-off, with smaller contribution of hip flexors. However, the interplay between these two joints remains unclear in spastic cerebral palsy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the kinetic relationship between the ankle plantar flexor and hip flexor power in late stance of gait (A2/H3) in mildly affected adults with spastic cerebral palsy. By implementing a ballistic strength training program, it was hypothesized that these exercises would exaggerate ankle plantar flexor power so the need for hip flexor power compensation would decrease, and thereby result in an increased A2/H3 ratio. Method: Ten adults with spastic hemiplegic and diplegic cerebral palsy, Gross Motor Function Classification System I-II, was recruited to attend an eight week ballistic strength training program mainly prescribed to most paretic limb. Three-dimensional gait analysis with a force plate was used to investigate the ...

Stability and Decline in Gross Motor Function among Children and Youth by Steven E. Hanna, Peter L. Rosenbaum et al.Stability and Decline in Gross Motor Function among Children and Youth by Steven E. Hanna, Peter L. Rosenbaum et al.
This paper reports the construction of gross motor development curves for children and youth with cerebral palsy (CP) in order to assess whether function is lost during adolescence. We followed children previously enrolled in a prospective longitudinal cohort study for an additional 4 years, as they entered adolescence and young adulthood. The resulting longitudinal dataset comprised 3455 observations of 657 children with CP (369 males, 288 females), assessed up to 10 times, at ages ranging from 16 months to 21 years. Motor function was assessed using the 66-item Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66). Participants were classified using the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). We assessed the loss of function in adolescence by contrasting a model of function that assumes no loss with a model that allows for a peak and subsequent decline. We found no evidence of functional decline, on average, for children in GMFCS Levels I and II. However, in Levels III, IV, and V, average GMFM-66 was

This study aimed to identify clinical characteristics of impaired trunk control in hundred children with spastic CP (mean age 11.4 [plus or minus] 2.1 years, range 8-15 years). Assessment of trunk control was performed with the Trunk Control Measurement Scale (TCMS). Trunk control was clearly impaired, indicated by a median total TCMS score of 38.5 out of 58 (66%). Median subscale scores were 18 out of 20 (90%) for the subscale static sitting balance, 16 out of 28 (57%) for the subscale selective movement control and 6 out of 10 (60%) for the subscale dynamic reaching. Total TCMS and subscale scores differed significantly between topographies and severity of motor impairment according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Children with hemiplegia obtained the highest scores, followed by children with diplegia and children with quadriplegia obtained the lowest scores. TCMS scores significantly decreased with increasing GMFCS level. In conclusion, trunk control is

PURPOSE:: To describe the prevalence, distribution, and intensity of pain and determine the relationship between pain intensity and effect on daily activities in adolescents with cerebral palsy. METHODS:: A sample of 104 girls and 126 boys, mean ages 14.7 (SD = 1.7) and 14.8 (SD = 1.7) years, were asked Have you experienced physical pain in the past month? RESULTS:: Sixty-four percent of girls and 50% of boys reported pain. Pain was most frequent in the feet and ankles, knees, and lower back of girls and boys at Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I to IV. Foot and ankle and knee pain were also frequent at level V. The Spearman rho value between intensity and effect on daily activities was 0.75 (p | 0.01) and 0.82 (p | 0.01) for girls and boys. CONCLUSIONS:: The high prevalence of pain and its effect on daily activities suggests a need for greater focus on health promotion.

Connecticut (CT) Cerebral Palsy, Birth Injury, & Medical Malpractice Information and Attorneys - DisabledLawyering.org
Cerebral palsy is a generalized term used to describe a number of disorders related to a difficulty with muscular control, and a subject with which Connecticut cerebral palsy lawyers are very familiar. Cerebral palsy was once attributed solely to complications during childbirth - most notably oxygen deprivation, causing brain damage - but it is now known that there are many factors that can lead to a childs cerebral palsy. An experienced cerebral palsy attorney can answer many questions about the possible causes of your childs birth injury, and work with you to determine whether you want to pursue legal action to recover damages.. There are four primary types of cerebral palsy. The most common is spastic cerebral palsy, which causes a constant state of reflex, causing continual spasms. This type of cerebral palsy occurs in about 75 percent of cases. Athetoid palsy is marked by slow, uncontrolled movements, and affects a small percentage of patients, as does ataxic cerebral palsy. The most ...

When a person has a disability such as cerebral palsy, it leads many to wonder if it will affect that persons longevity. Cerebral palsy life expectancy rates are difficult to determine. People with the condition may be affected by numerous complications that can affect their health and alter the course of their life.. The first thing that you need to understand when examining cerebral palsy and life expectancy rates is that there are no hard and fast statistics. The life expectancy for a person with cerebral palsy can range from 30 years of age to age 60 or 70. People with rigidity and severe spasticity are likely to have shorter life expectancy, while people with mild to moderate cerebral palsy complications are likely to live longer.. Additionally, it has been found that there is a decline in motor functions of cerebral palsy patients. They may need repeated surgeries to tackle spasticity related problems. The ability to walk or to be active affects life expectancy in cerebral palsy. The more ...

DMOZ - Health: Conditions and Diseases: Neurological Disorders: Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is a term used to describe a group of chronic conditions affecting body movements and muscle coordination. It is caused by damage to the brain, usually occurring during fetal development, or during infancy. It can also occur before, during or shortly following birth. Cerebral Palsy is neither progressive (it doesnt get worse with time), nor communicable (you cant catch it). It is one of the most common disabling conditions of childhood. There are 4 types of Cerebral Palsy: Spastic Cerebral Palsy characterized by stiff and difficult movement; Athetoid Cerebral Palsy characterized by involuntary and uncontrolled movement; Ataxic Cerebral Palsy characterized by a disturbed sense of balance and depth perception; and Mixed Cerebral Palsy.

Mollys Mission 2 Walk - Tree of HopeMollys Mission 2 Walk - Tree of Hope
Thank you for visiting Mollys page.. Molly is 3 years old and has Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. One of the symptoms is that it causes painful, tightness in her legs, so she is unable to walk independently.. In Oct 2012 Molly flew to St Louis Childrens Hospital, Missouri to have Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR), a complicated operation which involved cutting some of the nerves in her spine that were responsible for overstimulating the spastic muscles (tight muscles) in the backs of her legs, thus permenatly eliminating their spasticity, giving Molly the chance to walk unaided for the first time.. Molly now needs a lot of aftercare to build the strength up in her leg muscles and to teach her to walk, now that she can straighten her legs and put her feet flat on the floor.. You can help make Mollys dream of walking become reality by donating towards Mollys aftercare, including at least 2 years of specialist physiotherapy.. After a great deal of hard work and therapy, Molly will hopefully walk ...

Increased risk for cerebral palsy for pre- and post-term births - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.comIncreased risk for cerebral palsy for pre- and post-term births - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of physical disability in childhood and affects approximately 2 out of 1000 children. Varying in severity, cerebral palsy affects movement and posture and is caused by disturbances in brain development during pregnancy, childbirth or the first few years of life. It is well-established that pre-term delivery increases the risk of cerebral palsy, but the majority of children with cerebral palsy are not born prematurely. Information on the association between gestational age and cerebral palsy after the pre-term period is limited. Dag Moster of the University of Bergen and colleagues studied the relation between gestational age and cerebral palsy risk using data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway. They examined data for 1.68 million singleton births without congenital abnormalities with a gestational age of 37-44 weeks in Norway from 1967-2001 and then linked these to the National Insurance Scheme to identify subsequent cerebral palsy diagnoses.. ...

The suggested link between autism and cerebellar dysfunction formed the background for a Swedish clinical study in 2001. Thirty-two children (17 females, 15 males; mean age 12y, SD 3y 10mo; range 6 to 21y) with a clinical suspicion of non-progressive congenital ataxia were examined, and parents were interviewed about the presence of neuropsychiatric problems in the child. Twelve children had simple ataxia, eight had ataxic diplegia, and 12 had borderline ataxia. All but one of the 32 children had a mild to moderate gross motor disability according to Gross Motor Function Classification System (15 were categorized as level I, 16 as level II, and one child as level IV). Neuroimaging and neuropsychological testing were achieved in most cases. There was a strong association between learning disability* and autism spectrum disorder (often combined with hyperactivity disorder) on the one hand, and both simple and borderline ataxia on the other, but a weaker link between ataxic diplegia and ...

Cerebral Palsy - Injury Lawyer FinderCerebral Palsy - Injury Lawyer Finder
Cerebral Palsy is the most common birth injury that leads to a medical malpractice lawsuit. The United Cerebral Palsy Associations estimate that more than 500,000 Americans currently have the disease. Approximately 10,000 babies afflicted with Cerebral Palsy are born in the United States every year. Cerebral Palsy is a condition caused by faulty development or damage to the area of the brain called the cerebrum, which is the largest portion of the brain that controls motor skills, higher mental faculties, sensations and voluntary muscle activities. The damage to a childs cerebrum disrupts the brains ability to control movement and posture and can result in the loss of nerve functions in many different areas.. Cerebral Palsy is incurable and non-progressive, which means the condition will not worsen over time. Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy are usually very apparent before age 2 and can include difficulty with fine motor tasks, difficulty maintaining balance or walking, and involuntary movements. ...

Study results for strength training in children CP have been mixed.1-6 Authors of a 2012 meta-analysis7 concluded that, while some individuals benefit from progressive strength training, its unlikely to be the optimal therapy for all patients with CP.. Engsberg, who is also a professor of occupational therapy, neurosurgery, and orthopedics, suggested the studies that did not show a good result from strength training did not aim for enough of a strength increase.. These kids are already at thirty percent in terms of strength versus able-bodied kids, so a ten percent increase isnt going to really benefit them, he said. You want to show a dramatic change in the strength component-sixty percent or more-so you have to tailor the training accordingly.. But the experts agreed with the meta-analysis authors that patient selection is key. For example, kids with a Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMCFS) score of IV or V-in which independent mobility is either very limited or ...

Overall, there are only small differences between constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and bimanual training (BIM) in improving upper limb activity outcomes for children with congenital hemiplegia, say researchers in an article published in Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology. Results generally reflect specificity of practice, they add, with CIMT improving unimanual capacity and BIM improving bimanual performance. For this study, researchers randomly allocated 63 children (mean age 10.2, SD 2.7, range 5-16 y; 33 boys, 30 girls), 16 in Manual Ability Classification System level I, 46 level II, and 1 level III, and 16 in Gross Motor Function Classification level I, 47 level II to either CIMT or BIM group day camps (60 hours over 10 days).

Kidshealth: Ataxic Cerebral Palsy | Akron Childrens HospitalKidshealth: Ataxic Cerebral Palsy | Akron Childrens Hospital
Cerebral palsy (CP) affects muscle movement and control. People with cerebral palsy have it for life.. Ataxic CP is one type of cerebral palsy. Kids with ataxic cerebral palsy have trouble with balance. They may walk with their legs farther apart than other kids. And they can have trouble knowing exactly where something is. They might think it is closer or farther than it actually is.. Other types of cerebral palsy can lead to muscle stiffness (spastic CP) or writhing movements (dyskinetic CP). Some kids have more than one kind of CP. And sometimes, the type of cerebral palsy a child has can change over time. ...

Overweight during pregnancy linked with increased rate of cerebral palsy | Cerebral Palsy GuidanceOverweight during pregnancy linked with increased rate of cerebral palsy | Cerebral Palsy Guidance
The authors of the study noted that maternal obesity and cerebral palsy were low when compared to other risk factors that cause cerebral palsy. However, the increase in maternal obesity continues to raise the risk of babies developing cerebral palsy.. Each degree of obesity severity during pregnancy increased the chances a child would be diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Villamor added. Compared with women of normal weight, women with overweight had a 22 percent higher rate, whereas women with severe obesity had more than twice (more than 100 percent increase) the rate.. Researchers analyzed more than a million children born full term term, while tracking maternal weight, starting during early pregnancy. The researchers then tracked the children from birth, to the time of their cerebral palsy diagnosis, and ended the follow up at the end of 2012.. Medical experts recommend that women start a plan prior to pregnancy that helps them reach an optimal weight level. Obesity applies to women with a ...

Spinal deformity is frequently identified in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). As it progresses, tracheal stenosis often develops due to compression between the innominate artery and anteriorly deviated vertebrae at the apex of the cervicothoracic hyperlordosis. However, the treatment strategy for tracheal stenosis complicated by spinal deformity in patients with CP remains unknown. This study reports two cases: a 19-year-old girl (case 1) and a 17-year-old girl (case 2), both with CP at Gross Motor Function Classification System V. Both patients experienced acute oxygen desaturation twice within the past year of their first visit to our department. X-ray and computed tomography revealed severe scoliosis and cervicothoracic hyperlordosis causing tracheal stenosis at T2 in case 1 and at T3-T4 in case 2, suggesting that their acute oxygen desaturation had been caused by impaired airway clearance due to tracheal stenosis. After preoperative halo traction for three weeks, both patients underwent posterior

Aim: To assess changes in the developmental trajectory of corticospinal tracts (CST) maturation in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (HCP).Methods: Neuroimaging data were obtained from 36 children with HCP for both the more affected (MA) and less affected (LA) hemispheres, and, for purposes of direct comparison, between groups, 15 typically developing (TD) children. With diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we estimated the mean fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), mean diffusivity (MD), and radial diffusivity (RD) of the corticospinal tract, parameters indicative of factors including myelination and axon density. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was performed as a neurophysiologic measure of corticospinal tract integrity and organization. Resting motor threshold (rMT) was obtained per hemisphere, per patient.Results: We observed a significant AD and MD developmental trajectory, both of which were inversely related to age (decrease in AD and diffusivity corresponding to increased

Birth Injuries - Improper Neonatal Care Can Cause Brain Damage and Cerebral Palsy - NCC Help
A cerebral palsy disorder is caused through an injury in the developing brain, to which a child may not develop until they are 3 years of age. Very often,a certain brain injury which causes cerebral palsy could occur near or during the time of the mothers delivery.. What may cause cerebral Palsy birth injury?. The common reason and cause of cerebral palsy is through birth injury. This is a kind of injury that will occur prior and during delivery of the mother which causes a permanent damage to life of the child. Birth asphyxia, is a kind of abnormal happening, which occurs when there is no oxygen reaching to bloodstream up to the brain of the mother during labor, is almost the common cause of cerebral palsy. Therefore, the child will then also experienced oxygen deprivation if them other experiences oxygen deprivation and or she is experiencing bleeding and/or hemorrhaging.Worse of all, all of these problems are preventable and a Cerebral Palsy lawyer must be contacted if you feel that there is ...

Cerebral Palsy (CP) - JKMAASS FoundationCerebral Palsy (CP) - JKMAASS Foundation
Cerebral palsy can be grouped into three main types which describe the disorders or movement and posture that may be experienced by a person. These are called spasticity, athetosis and ataxia.. Spasticity occurs when muscles are high in tone (tension) but weak in strength. A person experiencing spasticity may have difficulty moving their limbs and adopting stable posture.. Athetosis refers to uncontrolled movements, which are often most noticeable when a person with this type of cerebral palsy commences movement. In addition, children with athetoid cerebral palsy often have very weak muscles or feel floppy when they are carried.. Ataxia is characterised by unsteady, shaky movements or tremor. People with ataxic cerebral palsy and related disabilities have difficulty using muscles to achieve balance and coordinated movement. This is the least common type of cerebral palsy and related disabilities.. It is important to note that the movement difficulties each person has will be unique. Often a ...

Spastic quadriplegia - WikipediaSpastic quadriplegia - Wikipedia
Spastic quadriplegia, also known as spastic tetraplegia, is a subset of spastic cerebral palsy that affects all four limbs (both arms and legs). Compared to quadriplegia, spastic tetraplegia is defined by spasticity of the limbs as opposed to strict paralysis. It is distinguishable from other forms of cerebral palsy in that those afflicted with the condition display stiff, jerky movements stemming from hypertonia of the muscles. Spastic quadriplegia, while affecting all four limbs more or less equally, can still present parts of the body as stiffer than others, such as one arm being tighter than another arm, and so forth. Spastic triplegia, meanwhile, involves three limbs (such as one arm and two legs, or one leg and two arms, etc.); spastic diplegia affects two limbs (commonly just the legs), spastic hemiplegia affects one or another entire side of the body (left or right); and spastic monoplegia involves a single limb. Spastic quadriplegia can be detected by the abnormal development of motor ...

Paediatria Croatica - Hip dislocation in children with cerebral palsy
Hip subluxations and dislocations in patients with cerebral palsy are caused by muscular imbalance around the hip joint and appear after the infant age. They are most frequent in patients with quadriplegia who cannot walk. The appearance of the hip subluxation and dislocation in patients with cerebral palsy makes sitting and hygiene more difficult and often causes pain. Prevention of the hip subluxation and dislocation is important through an appropriate program of exercises to prevent contracture, orthoses, along with use of appropriate wheel chairs. We have to bear in mind the saying that every patient with cerebral palsy has disorder of the hip joint until it is proved otherwise. Regular radiology examinations of the hips are necessary for patients with cerebral palsy who cannot walk, once or twice a year during growth to discover hip subluxation at an early stage. Clinical hip subluxation and dislocation appear by worsening of the adduction and flexion hip contracture, and legs shortening ...

This pilot study was to examine the feasibility and tolerance of whole body vibration therapy (WBVT) for children and adults with moderate severity of cerebral palsy (CP) being graded as levels III or IV on the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (GMFCS). Study participants received the additional WBVT when standing still on the vibration platform for three 3-min bouts of vibration (20 Hz, 2 mm amplitude), 4 days per week for 4 weeks. In addition to questions relating to feasibility and participants opinions, assessment at baseline and completion of the intervention included the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 Item Set (GMFM-66 IS), 2-min walk test (2MWT), Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI). Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test was used to compare the results. Fourteen participants (mean age = 25.25 years SD 3.71; 9 males, 64%; GMFCS level III n = 13, 92%) were recruited and completed the study.

Hip dislocation is a serious complication among children with cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of hip dislocation among children with CP in an area providing regular care with an area providing hip surveillance services. This is a cross-sectional study in seven Norwegian counties providing regular care and one Swedish healthcare region where a hip surveillance programme was introduced in 1994. Data were provided by the Norwegian Cerebral Palsy Register and the CP Register in Southern Sweden. Children born 1996 - 2003 with moderate to severe CP, defined as Gross Motor Classification System (GMFCS) levels III - V, were included. In all, 119 Norwegian and 136 Swedish children fulfilled the criteria. In Norway, data on hip operations and radiographs of the hips were collected from medical records, while these data are collected routinely in the Swedish register. The hip migration percentage was measured on the recent radiographs. Hip dislocation was defined as a

Background The theoretical role of muscle coactivation is to stiffen joints. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between muscle coactivation and joint excursions during gait in children with and without hemiplegic cerebral palsy.. Methods Twelve children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy and twelve typically developing children underwent gait analysis at three different gait speeds. Sagittal hip, knee, and ankle kinematics were divided into their main components corresponding to joint excursions. A coactivation index was calculated for each excursion from the electromyographic envelopes of the rectus femoris/semitendinosus, vastus medialis/semitendinosus, or tibialis anterior/soleus muscles. Mixed linear analyses of covariance modeled joint excursions as a function of the coactivation index and limb.. Findings In typically developing children, increased coactivation was associated with reduced joint excursion for 8 of the 14 linear models (hip flexion, knee loading, knee extension ...

Nearly one in every hundred babies born will suffer from some form of birth injury-of these, the most common illness is that of cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy often results in impaired muscle movement and rigid reflexes, the symptoms of which can be either temporary or permanent. Many cases of birth injuries, like cerebral palsy, are caused by genetic predispositions; however, many others will have been caused by the negligence of a doctor or hospital worker. Newborn babies are delicate and even the smallest miscalculation can cost them their lives. When a doctors negligence results in tragedy, they deserve to face the consequences.. ...

BIRTH INJURY | Rasansky Law Firm Personal Injury LawyersBIRTH INJURY | Rasansky Law Firm Personal Injury Lawyers
Children who suffer with cerebral palsy oftentimes suffer with other difficulties, as well. The reason for this is that cerebral palsy is the result of brain injuries during birth. Oftentimes, these brain injuries cause difficulty beyond what cerebral palsy itself causes.. The brain injury that causes cerebral palsy affects the area of the brain that allows you to control your muscles and that provides motor function. Oftentimes, a child who suffers a cerebral palsy inducing brain injury also suffers injuries to the brain that affect other abilities. For example, approximately half of the people with cerebral palsy injuries also have some cognitive impairment. This doesnt mean that they are severely impaired, necessarily. In fact, some people with cerebral palsy end up to go on and get advanced degrees, but they may have to work much harder than other people to achieve such goals.. ...

Written by an experienced physical therapist, this practical guide gives parents the keys they need to help their child with cerebral palsy or another developmental delay master gross motor skills beginning in infancy. Organised in the sequence children acquire gross motor skills, this guide explains how motor development unfolds, and how cerebral palsy can affect this development. There are dozens of illustrated exercises that can help children gradually strengthen back, neck and tummy muscles and then master motor skills, such as head control, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking. While parents can and should practice these exercises at home, the author stresses how success is dependent on parents and therapist working together. Real-life vignettes provide examples of how parents, children, and physical therapists interact, what difficulties can arise and how to try and work through them ...

3 years old: Jacob is Triplet B He is Logans identical twin. He was also the recipient from the Twin to Twin Transfusion. This caused him to have to much blood flow before he was born. He had a large amount of amniotic fluid around him and an enlarged heart. 3 days before he left the NICU we were shocked to find out he had severe brain damage. Prior to him leaving the hospital he had achieved everything as well as his brother Andrew. He has cysts covering large portions of his peridal lobe and right frontal lobes. We do not know what caused his damage. He never had a brain bleed and nothing bad happened in the NICU that we know of. The doctor seems to belive it was caused by the TTTS, but 1 week old Ultrasounds showed his brain to be normal at that time. He has been diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He also has cortical visual impairment, severe reflux (GERD), partial seizures, a g-tube. He can not do a lot right now, but we have faith that he will someday. He has some ...

3 years old: Jacob is Triplet B He is Logans identical twin. He was also the recipient from the Twin to Twin Transfusion. This caused him to have to much blood flow before he was born. He had a large amount of amniotic fluid around him and an enlarged heart. 3 days before he left the NICU we were shocked to find out he had severe brain damage. Prior to him leaving the hospital he had achieved everything as well as his brother Andrew. He has cysts covering large portions of his peridal lobe and right frontal lobes. We do not know what caused his damage. He never had a brain bleed and nothing bad happened in the NICU that we know of. The doctor seems to belive it was caused by the TTTS, but 1 week old Ultrasounds showed his brain to be normal at that time. He has been diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He also has cortical visual impairment, severe reflux (GERD), partial seizures, a g-tube. He can not do a lot right now, but we have faith that he will someday. He has some ...

I am so confused...I am so confused...
It seems that some pages say there is an income limit and some say there isnt one. I am trying to apply for disability benefits for my four year old daughter. She carries the diagnosis of Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. We receive Medicaid services from a waiver service that only looked at the diagnosis, and not the finances. Does this apply for disability benefits? Which program would we qualify for, if any? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of creatine in children with spinal muscular atrophy - Department of Psychiatry
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether oral creatine produces positive changes in any of 4 outcomes in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). METHODS: The authors conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on 55 patients aged 2-18 years with SMA. Patients aged younger than 5 years received 2 g/day of creatine/placebo for 6 months. Patients aged 5 years and older received 5 g/day. The primary outcome measure was the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). Secondary outcome measures were Quantitative Muscle Testing (QMT), Parent Questionnaire for the PedsQL™ Neuromuscular Module (QOL), and Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT). RESULTS: Forty of the 55 patients completed the protocol. There was no significant difference in the 4 outcome measures between creatine and placebo groups. CONCLUSIONS: Under the experimental conditions of our study, creatine supplementation for 6 months did not improve motor function, muscle strength, pulmonary function, or quality of life in children with SMA. © 2007

Evidence supports magnesium sulphate (MgSO4) for women at risk of imminent birth at | 32-34 weeks to reduce the likelihood of cerebral palsy in the child. MAGnesium sulphate for fetal neuroprotection to prevent Cerebral Palsy (MAG-CP) was a multifaceted knowledge translation (KT) strategy for this practice. The KT strategy included national clinical practice guidelines, a national online e-learning module and, at MAG-CP sites, educational rounds, focus group discussions and surveys of barriers and facilitators. Participating sites contributed data on pregnancies with threatened very preterm birth. In an interrupted time-series study design, MgSO4 use for fetal neuroprotection (NP) was tracked prior to (Aug 2005-May 2011) and during (Jun 2011-Sept 2015) the KT intervention. Effectiveness of the strategy was measured by optimal MgSO4 use (i.e. administration when and only when indicated) over time, evaluated by a segmented generalised estimating equations logistic regression (p | 0.05 significant).
