abstract objectives, the purpose of this research was to evaluate of the intra-rater and inter-raters reliability of the 10 meter walk test (10 mwt) in 30 adults with spastic cerebral palsy (cp) with subgroup analyses in gross motor function classification system (gmfcs). material & methods, participants  (19 men, 11 women; mean age 27 y and 9 mo) with gmfcs levels below iv (i, ii, and iii) non...

objectives: cerebral palsy (cp) describes a group of disorders in the development of movement and posture in the developing brain. the main aim of this study was to determine the distribution of motor impairment and associated disorders in a population of children with cp. methods: this study was carried out in 2011 during three months, on 200 cp children. multiple sources of ascertainment were...

The rehabilitation of pediatric patients involves unique constraints in comparison to adult rehabilitation. Therefore, the utilization of robotic technology in the rehabilitation of pediatric patients provides unique challenges. Research focusing on the application of robotic technology to pediatric cerebral palsy patients with spasticity is searching for flexible solutions that can address a w...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to describe walking ability in children with cerebral palsy from the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe common database through 21 years and to examine the association between walking ability and predicting factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Anonymous data on 10042 children with cerebral palsy born between 1976 and 1996 were gathered from 14 European c...

AIM To determine the age of development of bladder and bowel control and the frequency of enuresis, encopresis, and urinary infections in children with cerebral palsy. METHODS The study included 45 children with cerebral palsy who regularly attended a rehabilitation center in Isparta, Turkey, and two groups of age- and sex-matched children, 37 siblings of the children with cerebral palsy and ...

Introduction. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are rarely used in the diagnosis of patients with cerebral palsy. The aim of present study was to assess the relationships between the volumetric MRI and clinical findings in children with cerebral palsy compared to control subjects. Materials and Methods. Eighty-two children with cerebral palsy and 90 age- and sex-matched heal...

OBJECTIVE To describe in detail the health-related physical fitness of adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy, compared with able-bodied references, and to assess differences related to Gross Motor Functioning Classification System (GMFCS) level and distribution of cerebral palsy. DESIGN Cross-sectional. SUBJECTS Fifty ambulatory persons with spastic cerebral palsy, GMFCS level I ...

OBJECTIVE To apply objective criteria for the identification of acute intrapartum hypoxia in a cohort of cerebral palsy cases and to identify other cerebral palsy-related pathologies. METHODS A cohort of all 235 neonates with cerebral palsy from a single Australian tertiary care center born between 1986 and 2003. Cases were identified from the South Australian Cerebral Palsy Register. Materna...
