23
Q

what does quadriplegia affect in CP?

A

spastic quadriplegia is most severe affecting all limbs, trunk and face

24
Q

what does hemiplegia affect in CP?

A

affects one side of body usually arm more than leg

25
Q

what does diplegia affect in CP?

A

muscle stiffness mainly in legs, with arms less affected or not at all

26
Q

what is the purpose o the communication function classification systems (CFCS) for CP?

A

classify everyday communication performance into one or five levels, focus on activity ad participation

27
Q

how do you distinguish between levels in the CFCS?

A

based on performance of sender and receiver orles, pace, type of conversational partner

28
Q

what is the manual ability classification system (MACS) based on?

A

gross motor function. measure systm

29

A

mild.

30
Q

what is a type 4 flexion for wrist deformity in hand function for CP?

A

moderate

31
Q

what is a type 2 and 3 flexion for wrist deformity in hand function for CP?

A

severe

32
Q

what is a type 0 and 1 flexion for wrist deformity in hand function for CP?

A

very severe

33
Q

what occurs with type 5 mild flexion wrist deformity?

A

mild dynamic flexion and forearm pronation, no fixed contractures, independent control

34
Q

what occurs with type 4 moderate flexion wrist deformity?

A

includes some fixed flexion contracture of wrist but good active finger extension

35
Q

what occurs with type 2 and 3 subtype 1 severe flexion wrist deformity?

A

contracted flexors cannot be passively extended with wirst passively extended

36
Q

what occurs with type 2 and 3 subtype 2 severe flexion wrist deformity?

A

they have finger extension with wrist passive extension but finger extensor deficiency without flexor contracture

37
Q

what occurs with type 0 and 1 very severe flexion wrist deformity?

A

severe fixed wrist flexion contractures getting max of -20 to 0 degrees of wrist extension,minimal hand function

38
Q

what is a type I pattern of thumb deformity?

A

spastciity mainly in adductor pollicus and first dorsal interosseous causing metacarpal adduction

39
Q

what is a type II pattern of thumb deformity?

A

metacarpal is adducted, but MCP joint is flexed. contarcture of adductor usually

40
Q

what is a type III pattern of thumb deformity?

A

metacarpal adducted and MCP hyperextended. prone to instability and subluxation

41
Q

what is a type IV pattern of thumb deformity?

A

thumb adducted, contracture of flexor pollicus longus usually fixed contracture of MCP often more than 90 degrees

42
Q

what is level I of the MACS?

A
