Objective: To unveil the process of collective construction of interventions for coping by informal caregivers of children with cerebral palsy using the Theory of Uncertainty in Illness. Method: Qualitative action-research in a hybrid format with informal caregivers of children with cerebral palsy registered with the Raros group in Petrolina, Pernambuco. The research followed the planned intervention cycle, going through four phases. The analysis was carried out using the IRAMUTEQ software and content analysis. Results: Interventions were designed collectively, both virtually and in person, which resulted in improvements for informal caregivers in coping with the conditions associated with the disability, promotion of self-care, empowerment and the construction of a sense of belonging to the group. There were 12 participants, all of whom were mothers. Conclusion: There was a facilitation of the process of coping with uncertainty in the disease on the part of the informal caregiver of children with cerebral palsy and it was evidenced that for this a prismatic perspective is necessary, which understands that the uncertainties are not only related to the conditions associated with cerebral palsy, but involve subjective aspects of the caregivers.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a permanent disorder of the posture and movement, which can result in impairments of gross motor function, among others. Hippotherapy (HPT) is an emerging intervention to promote motor recovery in patients with neurological disorders, providing a smooth, precise, rhythmic, and repetitive pattern of movement to the patient. The main objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials was to analyze the effectiveness of HPT interventions on gross motor function in subjects with CP. The following databases were searched in May 2019: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science. The methodological quality of the randomized controlled trials was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A total of 10 studies were analyzed in this review, involving 452 participants. Favorable effects were obtained on the gross motor function (Gross Motor Function Measure-66, standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.47–1.15, Gross Motor Function Measure-88 dimension A SMD = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.30–0.97, dimension B SMD = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.09–0.75, and dimension E SMD = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.06–0.73). The results obtained in the present review show the potential benefit of HPT intervention in improving gross motor function in children with CP.

This chapter covers major types of neurodisability that can be found in children. For each type it introduces the epidemiology, risk factors and potential prevention, aetiology and diagnosis, classification, function, and management of various neurodisabilities. Disabilities covered include cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, abnormal tone and movement disorder, specific learning disorders (including dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia), autism spectrum disorder, learning or intellectual disabilities, developmental coordination disorder, and inborn errors of metabolism. The chapter finishes with developmental disabilities in the developing world, outlining the opportunities, challenges, and possible solutions to improving care in low- and middle-income countries.
