Growth characteristics in cerebral palsy subtypes: a comparative assessment

Abstract

Our study reveals differences in growth rates between hemiplegic, diplegic, and quadriplegic CP subtypes.

Defining optimal growth in cerebral palsy: comparing apples to apples?

“…Another limitation is the absence of ‘mixed’ as a CP subtype for children with both dyskinetic and spastic features. Similarly, in another related paper Stanek et al demonstrated that the growth of patients with quadriplegic CP was consistently lower than patients with diplegic or hemiplegic CP. This paper did not differentiate children by CP subtype.…”

Unmasking the Enigma of Cerebral Palsy: A Traditional Review

“…This diagnosis can potentially be inaccurate if other factors like disease activity or clinical progression are not considered. Malnutrition has several impacts on disabled individuals but misdiagnosis of failure to thrive is consequential [21,22].…”

“…Patients with cerebral palsy are seen to grow at a slower rate when compared to typical developmental milestones even in the presence of optimum healthcare and nutrition [22]. This could be perceived by the caretaker as them not doing enough and initiating unwarranted adjuvant feeding therapy.…”

“…This could be perceived by the caretaker as them not doing enough and initiating unwarranted adjuvant feeding therapy. Rapid weight gain schemes can lead to metabolic syndrome and other clinical sequelae especially in cerebral palsy patients where difficulty swallowing, encopresis, gastroesophageal reflux, and bouts of emesis are common [21][22][23][24].…”

“…We did not detect significant difference between functionality, CP type and body weight, height and BMI Z-scores in CP patients. beslenme problemleri olarak sırasıyla %6 3. gastroözofageal reflü, %14.6 yutma güçlüğü, %33.3 salya akıtma ve % 68.8 diş problemi tespit edildi.…”
