cerebral palse Flashcards
Cerebral palsy describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to progressive disturbances occurring in the developing fetal or infant brain
true or false?
false, non-progressive
what are the prenatal risk factors?
Being small for gestational age
Being of low or very low birth weight
Multiple gestation
Developing infection
Having evidence of stroke or having neonatal encephalopathy
the Maternal risk factors are
Chorioamnionitis
Fever during labor
Coagulopathy or bleeding
Placental infarction and thyroid disease
true or false?
true
there are no postnatal risk factors for CP
true or false?
false, Social disadvantage
Trauma
are postnatal risk factors
what are the subtypes of CP ?
hemiplegia
quadriplegia
monoplegia
diplegia
what are the kinds of CP ?
spastic
ataxic
and dyskinetic
. Abnormal pattern of posture and/or movement
. Increased tone (not necessarily constantly)
. Pathological reflexes (hyper-reflexia or pyramidal signs e.g. Babinski response)
. It may be unilatera (hemiplegia) or bilateral
are related to which type of CP?
spastic
spasticity is velocity independent
true or false?
false, dependent
a state of disinhibition of the stretch reflex will lead to what?
spasticity
_ Abnormal pattern of posture and/or movement
_ Loss of orderly muscular co-ordination, so that movements are performed with abnormal force, rhythm and accuracy
are related to which CP?
ataxic
Abnormal pattern of posture and/or movement
− Involuntary, uncontrolled, recurring, occasionally stereotyped movements of affected body parts
are related to which CP?
dyskinetic
what are the subtypes of dyskinetic CP?
dystonic CP and Choreo-athetotic CP
dominated by both hypokinesia and hypertonia
is?
dystonic CP
dominated by both hyperkinesia and hypotonia is?
Choreo-athetotic CP
give examples of visual impairments of CP
strabismus
refractive errors
reduced visual acuity
abnormal saccadic movements
increased risk of aspiration in CP is caused by what?
orometer impairments
most important factors associated with urinary incontinence were quadriparesis and impaired cognition
true or false?
true
increased tone or contractures of the gastrocsoleus complex only will lead to?
equines foot deformity
combination of spasticity of the posterior tibialis muscle and the gastrosoleus complex will lead to?
equinovarus deformity
knee extension is common in CP
true or false?
false, knee flexion
Passive hip abduction of less than 35 degrees and a hip flexion contracture of more than 20 degrees are concerning signs of ?
hip dysplasia
hip to be adducted, flexed, and internally rotated, placing it at risk for ?
hip posterior dislocation
what is the windswept deformity in CP?
adduction deformity of the elevated hip and an abduction deformity of the opposite hip
the windswept is characterized by?
hip obliquity
for UL deformities in CP
1-the shoulder is adducted and IR
2-the elbow has flexion contracture
3-forearm pronation
4- flexion of wrist with ulnar deviation
true or false?
true
for hand deformity in CP:
1- fingers are flexed with swan neck
2- ABD of carpometacarpal joint
3- hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints
true or false?
false, ADD of carpometacarpal joint
(Thumb in palm) deformity
scissoring gait is primary because of?
increased adductor tone
crouched gait with lordosis and APT is caused by?
increased iliopsoas tone
(hip flexor)
increased femoral anteversion will cause in toing with false genu valgus and external tibial rotation
true or false?
true
decrease hamstring ROM will cause?
crouched gait
co-contraction of hamstring and quadriceps will cause?
stiff knee gait
internal tibial torsion will cause out toeing
external tibial torsion will cause in toeing
true or false?
false
varus with increased supination
valgus increased pronation
true or false?
true
One of the most important problems in children with CP is unidirectional movements, low variability, and inability to mimic.
true or false?
false
what are the assessments of functional level and motor development?
Gross Motor Function Measure and Gross Motor Function Classification System
*Manual Ability Classification System
*Pediatric Functional Independence Measure(WeeFIM)
*Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory
*Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development
*Denver Developmental Screening Test
which test is used to assesses the quantity of the movements rather than the quality ?
GMFM
Items span the spectrum of gross motor activities in 3 dimensions
true or false?
false, five dimensions
what are the 5 dimension of gross motor development?
A:Lying and Rolling,
B:Sitting,
C:Crawling and Kneeling,
D:Standing, and
E:Walking, Running and Jumping
There are two versions of the GMFM.(TheGMFM-88 andGMFM-66
true or false?
true
