-The goal of this study was to assess the relation between gender, age, motor type, topography and gross motor function, based on the Gross Motor Function System of children with cerebral palsy. Trunk control, postural changes and gait of one hundred children between 5 months and 12 years old, were evaluated. There were no significant differences between gender and age groups (p=0.887) or between gender and motor type (p=0.731). In relation to body topography most children (88%) were spastic quadriplegic. Most hemiplegics children were rated in motor level I, children with diplegia were rated in motor level III, and quadriplegic children were rated in motor level V. Functional classification is necessary to understand the differences in cerebral palsy and to have the best therapeutic planning since it is a complex disease which depends on several factors.Key wordS: cerebral palsy, disabled children, motor skills, classification system, gross motor function.Classificação da paralisia cerebral: associação entre gênero, idade, tipo motor, topografia e função Motora Grossa resumo -este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a relação entre gênero, idade, tipo motor, topografia e Função Motora Grossa, baseado no Sistema de Função Motora Grossa em crianças com paralisia cerebral. Participaram desta pesquisa 100 crianças com idade entre 5 meses a 12 anos que foram observadas em relação ao controle de tronco, trocas posturais e marcha. Não houve diferenças significativas entre gêneros e grupos etários (p=0,887) e entre gênero e tipo motor (p=0,731). em relação à topografia corporal, houve predomínio de crianças com quadriplegia, sendo que a maioria (88%) era do tipo espástico. Quanto ao nível motor, as crianças hemiplégicas pertenciam em sua maioria ao nível I, as diplégicas ao nível III e as quadriplégicas ao nível V. Sendo a paralisia cerebral uma condição complexa que depende de diversos fatores, beneficia-se de classificações funcionais para compreensão da diversidade e melhor planejamento terapêutico. PAlAVrAS-chAVe: paralisia cerebral, criança deficiente, sistema de classificação, habilidade motora, função motora grossa. cerebral palsy (cP) is described as a range of disorders of motor and postural development which causes functional limitations attributed to non-progressive disorders that occur in fetal development or child' s brain 1 . It has traditionally been described based on the kind of damage (spasticity, dyskinesia and ataxia) and its location, or topography (hemiplegia, diplegia and tetraplegia) 2 . Until recently there were not standardized methods to classify cerebral palsy in relation to subtypes and severity of motor impairments 3-5 . The Gross Motor Function System (GMFcS) 6 was developed to classify functional mobility in children diagnosed with cerebral palsy by levels of functional mobility and consists of five levels ranging from I, which includes children with minimal or no dysfunction relative to community mobility to V, which includes children who are totally dependent and need help to mo...

“…New risk factors have appeared among infants who previously would have died, and the incidence of neurodevelopmental impairments in survivors of NICU is higher than in normal birth-weight newborns. In particular, due to the high risk of interventricular haemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia, an increasing prevalence of cerebral palsy has occurred in premature, low birth-weight newborns and children born with asphyxia (Romeo D, Cioni, Scoto, Mazzone, Palermo & Romeo M, 2008).…”

Before the 1992, medical rehabilitation in Bosnia and Herzegovina had been provided at the level of institutions, usually after the hospital or ambulant treatments. As a concept of rehabilitation, community-based rehabilitation (CBR) was included in the strategic plan of reform of health care in Bosnia and Herzegovina. CBR is strategy for rehabilitation, equal possibilities and social integration of all persons with disabilities.Priority problems for the families of children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities in Bosnia and Herzegovina are: lack of Register for developmental and intellectual disabilities,  lack of continuous preventive measures for disability manifestation, www.intechopen.comEpilepsy -Histological, Electroencephalographic and Psychological Aspects 252  lack of continuous education for the professionals in multiprofessional team for work with families of children with intellectual and development disabilities,  lack of continuous education of teachers in general schools for work with children in program of educational inclusion,  lack of adequate and continuous multidisciplinary community support for all education levels for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities,  lack of adequate programs for profession selection and employment, as well as accompanying legislation, and,  high cost of habilitation-education programs for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities and their insufficient financing.The aims of the study "The influence of prenatal etiological factors on learning disabilities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy" were: to identify the prenatal etiological factors of cerebral palsy in children and adolescents aged from 6 to 20 years in the Canton of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina;  to determine the learning disabilities among children with the cerebral palsy, and  to determine relationship between prenatal etiological factors of cerebral palsy and learning disabilities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.Importance of this study is reflected in the fact that this is the first time in Bosnia and Herzegovina that the influence of the prenatal etiological factors on learning difficulties of the children and adolescents with the cerebral palsy has been determined with use of a scientific method.Knowing the cause of the condition is fundamental to understanding its prevention, its potential complications, and prospective treatment strategies. Thus, there is a great need for better communication and cooperation between all professional dedicated to the care of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (Percy, 2007). The influence of prenatal etiological factors on learning disabilities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsyThe study of the influence of prenatal etiological factors on learning disabilities of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy in the Canton of Sarajevo was conducted as a cohort, retrospective study. The research was conducted in homes of 67 (83,75%) participants, ...

“…According to the severity of motor damage, patients may later show signs of tetraplegia, diplegia, our hemiplegia, involving, respectively, four members, limited to lower limbs and/or a hemibody (FLETT, 2003;DAMIANO, ABEL, ROMNESS et al, 2006;ROMEO, CIONI, SCOTO et al, 2008;CROMPTON, GALEA and PHILLIPS, 2007). The existent tonic changes may lead, due to encephalopathy, to spasticity, athetosis, dystonic coreoathetosis, or ataxia, with variation according to which areas and regions of the CNS have been harmed (PALISANO, ROSENBAUM, WALTER et al, 1997;DAMIANO, DODD andTAYLOR, 2002, DAMIANO, ABEL, ROMNESS et al, 2006;SCHOEN, RICCI, and OLIVEIRA, 2003).…”

“…Cerebral palsy (CP) can be defined as a non-progressive, variable, and stable encephalopathy stemming from a pre-natal, peri-natal, post-natal lesion which can compromise the central nervous system's (CNS) neuromaturation period (FLETT, 2003;ROMEO, CIONI, SCOTO et al, 2008;SCHOEN, RICCI, and OLIVEIRA, 2003;SOUZA and FERRARETO, 1998). Epidemiological studies in developed countries demonstrate that there is a prevalence of 1.5 to 2.5 cases for every thousand births (SOUZA and FERRARETO, 1998;BEGNOCHE and PITETTI, 2007).…”

Temporomandibular disorders in cerebral palsy: literature review

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: In cerebral palsy the greater neurologically compromised patients have the highest functional involvement of the masticatory system and the highest structural involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). These conditions contribute to the likelihood of the onset of articular and muscular disorders. These disorders affect the orofacial region and can cause pain, audible noise upon articulation, irregular mandibular functions with deviations, known as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunctions (TMD). Traditionally, clinical studies have been limited to articular restrictions in detriment to the various neurological and motor clinical aspects. The objective of this research is to examine studies which investigated the prevalence of TMD signs in cerebral palsy, as well as studies about several aspects of the pathology surrounding TMD, including functional, structural, neurological, and clinical aspects. Materials and Methods: We carried out literature review of several studies published between 1976 and 2014. Scielo, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, DARE, Psych Info, ERIC, AMI, Cochrane, and PEDro databases were used to research literature on TMD using the following keywords without restrictions: cerebral palsy, temporomandibular disorders, and rehabilitation. Results: The literature showed that signs of TMD in cerebral palsy may be prevalent in severe clinical forms which can make cervical control more difficult and lead to postural deviations. Conclusion: Craniometric changes in head circunference may limit TMJ and occlusion movements, worsened by hypertonia and asymmetry in the pterygoid and masseter muscles. Children with swallowing and oropharyngeal difficulties are more likely to show signs of TMD.
