“…Este aumento de la esperanza de vida requiere que exista un avance en la investigación que permita a la sociedad estar en condiciones de mejorar la calidad de vida a medida que estas personas envejecen (Balandin et al, 2006). La PC presenta una prevalencia global entre 2 y 3 casos por cada 1000 habitantes, aunque en los países occidentales algunos estudios aportan menor incidencia (Robaina et al, 2007). En España, según la última encuesta realizada a toda la población en temática de discapacidad, la tasa se sitúa en el 1,95 (INE, 2008).…”

Estado actual de investigación en parálisis cerebral y envejecimiento: revisión sistemáticaCurrent state of research in cerebral palsy and aging: systematic review ResumenEl objetivo de la presente revisión es analizar las publicaciones en el área de parálisis cerebral y envejecimiento, respecto a tipo y volumen de publicaciones, metodología, áreas temáticas y edad de corte de la muestra. La importancia de la temática se deriva del incremento de la esperanza de vida de este colectivo y su aumento demográfico, que conlleva a que surja un nuevo colectivo con demandas específicas a las que la comunidad científica debe dar respuesta. Se plantea una búsqueda en las principales bases de datos y un análisis siguiendo el método PRISMA, con el fin de que la revisión sea sistemática y replicable. Tras el análisis de las publicaciones se destaca la predominancia de estudios empíricos del área médica, debilidades metodológicas comunes al área de investigación y la necesidad de realizar investigaciones longitudinales y de corte psicosocial que permitan dar respuesta de manera integral.

“…It is a chronic sensorimotor disorder that leads to the alteration of sensitivity, perception, cognition, communication and behavior, as well as causing changes in posture, muscle tone and production of inappropriate movements [3]. The hemiplegia is one of the most common forms of ICP, representing 1 in 1300 live births in developed countries [4]. The first symptoms of early lateralization in infantile hemiplegia are the lack of flexibility in conjunction with the asymmetry and motor spasticity prevalent in the affected upper limb.…”

Introduction: Children with hemiplegia do not use the affected upper limb. This disuse of the upper limb is known as "Disregard development." Therefore, therapy should create the opportunity, experience and environment in which a child can learn to use the affected member. Being the modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (mCIMT) and the Bimanual Intensive Therapy carried out at home. Objective:To assess the increase in spontaneous use of the affected upper limb in congenital hemiplegia childhood 6-10 years with low hand performance after applying a combined intensive therapy protocol.Method: 3 children (6 years old) diagnosed with congenital infantile hemiplegia are recruited to execute a 100-hour combined intensive therapy protocol. 3 measurements are carried out for the variables of spontaneous use and the experience of use of the upper limb.Results: Increased spontaneous use of 24 AHA units, measured with the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) scale after the end of the protocol and for the experience of use of the upper limb, measured by Children's Hand-Use Experience Questionnaire (CHEQ) increases of 11.67 activities executed with both hands. Conclusion:Children with congenital infantile hemiplegia with low hand performance could obtain a greater increase in spontaneous use executing a protocol of combined intensive therapy.

Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness of ozone therapy in the treatment of Infantile Cerebral Palsy (ICP). Patients and methods. A non-controlled clinical assay was made in the Ozone Research Center (CIO), Havana, Cuba from January 2013 to January 2014. The sample was constituted by patients remitted to pediatrics consultation of CIO, to whom inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. The study group involved 45 patients, from 1 month of birth to 8 years, with cerebral palsy of hypoxic-ischemic cause. The evaluation criteria were: evolution of the motor disorder according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) scale, modification of muscle tone (Ashworth modified scale) and response to treatment (O’Brien modified scale). The way of administration was rectal insufflation; concentrations between 15, 20, 25 and 30 mg/L were used, volumes varied according to age, making calculation of the dose of ozone according to kilograms of weight. Cycles of 20 sessions, every 3 months were indicated, until completing 4 in 16 months. Patients were clinically evaluated, according to the scales used, before and after each cycle. Results and Discussion. The best answer to treatment was obtained in the group aged ? 4 years. The variables analyzed showed a significant improvement when the ozone treatment concluded. With respect to the evolution of the motor disorder, in 65 % of cases it improved. In the group of children below 4 years, the response was better in relation to the muscle tone. Response to treatment, according to the relatives’ criteria, was of 70 % of the children with marked improvement in the tone and muscle function. Conclusions. The greatest percentage of patients improved in the evolution of the motor disorder; when the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) scale was applied, more than half the patients showed an improvement. A high percentage of children get a satisfactory result regarding muscle tone and motor function. No side effects were present in any of the cases during the study.
