Objective: The study aimed to compare motor functions and quality of life children with cerebral palsy (CP), as well anxiety depression levels caregivers according the feeding types children.
 Methods: included CP aged between 5-17 years. There were two groups: oral (n=19) non-oral (n=16). Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) classify gross function, Measurement (GMFM) evalua...

T he cerebral palsies (CP) are a heterogeneous group of non-progressive motor disorders of the developing brain. By convention, brain injuries occurring at any stage antenatally and postnatally to the age of 2 years are included in the definition of CP. Primary disorders of the spinal cord such as neural tube defects, neuropathies, and myopathies are excluded. Cerebral palsy should be viewed as...

Purpose. This case study quantified kinematic and kinetic effects of gastrocnemius lengthening on gait in a Cerebral Palsy child with equinus foot. Methods. A 10-year-old diplegic child with Cerebral Palsy was evaluated with Gait Analysis (GA) before and after gastrocnemius fascia lengthening, investigating the lower limb joints kinematics and kinetics. Results. Kinematics improved at the level...

Background Mothering co-occupations in caring for children with cerebral palsy (CP) are very challenging for mothers but play an important role in the daily life of children with CP.This study aimed to explore the mothering co-occupations process in caring for children with CP at home in an Iranian context. Materials and Methods A grounded theory approach was recruited using semi-structured i...

Cerebral palsy (CP) impairs an individual's ability to move and control one's posture. Unfortunately, the signs and symptoms of CP may not be apparent before age two. Evaluating sitting posture is a potential way to assess the developing mechanisms that contribute to CP. The purpose of this project was to determine the reliability of linear and nonlinear measures, including inter- and intrastag...

This study presents how motion pictures illustrate a person with cerebral palsy (CP), the social impact from the media, and the possibility of cerebral palsy education by using motion pictures. 937 motion pictures were reviewed in this study. With the criteria of nondocumentary movies, possibility of disability classification, and availability, the total number of motion pictures about CP was r...

Abstract Background There are few epidemiological data to support rehabilitation programs for cerebral palsy (CP). Scarce international studies described the developmental anomalies (DAs) among children with CP. To our knowledge, Arab countries did not publish regarding this topic. This study aimed describe percentage of DAs CP and detect association between clinical subtypes impairment severit...

Cerebral palsy (CP) children present complex and heterogeneous motor disorders that cause gait deviations.Clinical gait analysis (CGA) is needed to identify, understand and support the management of gait deviations in CP. CGA assesses a large amount of quantitative data concerning patients' gait characteristics, such as video, kinematics, kinetics, electromyography and plantar pressure data.Com...

Objectives. We tested the hypothesis that administration of magnesium sulfate in labor protects against the development of neonatal brain lesions and cerebral palsy (CP) in low birth weight infants. Methods. Magnesium exposure was ascertained in a population-based cohort of 1105 infants weighing 2000 g or less through review of medical records of maternal magnesium sulfate administration and, w...
