Recent neuroimaging studies allowed us to explore abnormal brain structures and interhemispheric connectivity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Behavioral researchers have long reported that CP exhibit suboptimal performance different cognitive domains (e.g., receptive expressive language skills, reading, mental imagery, spatial processing, subitizing, math, executive functions). However, t...

INTRODUCTION Unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (US CP) is the second most common subtype of cerebral palsy. AIM The aim of the study was to analyze neuroimaging findings in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was hospital based, which has included 106 patients with US CP (boys 72/girls 34, term 82/preterm 24). Neuroimaging findings were classified...

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common movement disorder in children that is associated with life-long disability and multiple impairments. The clinical manifestations of CP vary among children. CP is accompanied by a wide range of problems and has a broad spectrum. Children with CP demonstrate poor fine and dross motor function due to psychomotor disturbances. Early rehabilitation programs are...

OBJECTIVE The general movement assessment (GMA) method is used to predict cerebral palsy (CP) in infants with high risk of developing neurological dysfunctions. Most of the work on GMA has been performed from the same group of researchers. The aim of this study was to demonstrate to what extent GMA predicted CP in our hands. METHOD A prospective study was performed using the Prechtl classific...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of exercise interventions that may improve postural control in children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHOD A systematic review was performed using American Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AACPDM) and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology. Six databases...

This study investigates the perceptual consequences and differences in vowel production between cerebral palsy (CP) afflicted Greek speakers and their normal counterparts. Formant (F1 and F2) values for the five vowels of Modern Greek were extracted from productions of both male and female speakers in stressed and unstressed conditions. These same productions were presented to normal hearing Gr...

Aim To describe the birth prevalence, temporal trends, and clinical outcomes of twins, triplets, or quadruplets with cerebral palsy (CP). Method This was a cross-sectional study using data for prenatally perinatally acquired CP pooled from Surveillance Cerebral Palsy in Europe network (born 1992–2009) Australian Register 1993–2009). Children were at least 4 years old time registration. born reg...
