“…The differing prevalence of visual impairment conditions is associated with variations in the time and severity of brain damage, involvement location, and thus the occurrence of different visual problems according to CP type. The literature contains studies to define visual findings in a CP type14, 15 ) . However, the important thing is that children with CP commonly experience visual problems; therefore, eye examination should certainly be made, even if there is no visible finding.…”

[Purpose] To evaluate the results of Bobath-based rehabilitation performed at a pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) inpatient clinic. [Subjects and Methods] The study subjects were 28 children with CP who were inpatients at a pediatric service. Inclusion criteria were: being an inpatient of our hospital aged 2–12 with a diagnosis of CP; having one permanent primary caregiver; and the caregiver having no medical or psychotic problems. All of the patients received Bobath treatment for 1 hour per day, 5 days a week. The locomotor system, neurologic and orthopedic examination, Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) of the patients, and Short Form-36 (SF-36) of permanent caregivers were evaluated at the time of admission to hospital, discharge from hospital, and at 1 and 3 months after discharge. [Results] Post-admission scores of GMFM at discharge, and 1 and 3 months later showed significant increase. Social function and emotional role subscores of SF-36 had increased significantly at discharge. [Conclusion] Bobath treatment is promising and randomized controlled further studies are needed for rehabilitation technics.

“…Also, information obtained from the innovative neurological tests may improve the quality of intervention services secondary to an im proved understanding of the nature of the neurological structures involved. In chil dren who were initially assumed to have significant visual impairments, EEG, CT, and MRI technologies were able to identify the cause of their severe visual inattentive ness as being due to dyskinetic eye move ments, rather than the loss of visual acuity (Jan, Lyons, Heaven, & Matsuba, 2001). Diagnostic information yielded by these tests resulted in more appropriate interven tion strategies.…”

Introduction In recent years, major progress has been made in understanding the human visual system because of new investigative techniques. These developments often contradict older concepts about visual function. Methods A detailed literature search and interprofessional discussions. Results Recent innovative neurological tests are described that are able to show much more accurately the visual pathways, the process of vision, and the close relationships among sensory modalities. These tests also reveal the remarkable neuroplasticity of the human brain and disorders of connectivity that frequently involve visual function. Discussion How these recent neurological advances may benefit service providers is discussed. Implications for practitioners It is important that from time to time new neurological and ophthalmic developments are summarized for professionals who are involved in the clinical management of individuals with visual disorders and how the newly acquired knowledge affects the diagnosis and intervention strategies. Visual rehabilitation must be based on up-to-date science, which continually changes and grows with research.

AIM Cerebral visual impairment (CVI) is a disorder caused by damage to the retrogeniculate visual pathways. Cerebral palsy (CP) and CVI share a common origin: 60 to 70% of children with CP also have CVI. We set out to describe visual dysfunction in children with CP. A further aim was to establish whether different types of CP are associated with different patterns of visual involvement.METHODS A total of 129 patients (54 females, 75 males; mean age 4y 6mo, SD 3y 5mo; range 3mo-15y) with CP (51 with diplegia, 61 with tetraplegia, and 17 with hemiplegia; 62 [48%] of participants were able to walk) and CVI enrolled at the Centre of Child Neuro-ophthalmology (at the Department of Child Neurology and Psychiatry, IRCCS 'C. Mondino Institute of Neurology', University of Pavia) underwent an assessment protocol including neurological examination, developmental and ⁄ or cognitive assessment, neuro-ophthalmological evaluation including ophthalmological assessment, evaluation of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, optokinetic nystagmus, visual field and stereopsis, and neuroradiological investigations.
