Cerebral palsy Flashcards

1
Q

4 types of CP and what brain structure is involved?

A

1) Spastic - white matter in cortical sensorimotor area or motor cortex (spastic and exaggerated movements)
2) Dyskinetic - basal ganglia
3) Ataxic - cerebellar (inability to generate normal or expected voluntary movement trajectory with a lack of orderly, coordinated, rhythmic movements)
4) Mixed - spasticity and dyskinesia present

Q

2 subtypes of Dyskinetic CP

A

1) Dystonic - involuntary, sustained/intermittent muscle contraction with repetitive movement and abnormal posture
2) Athetosis - slow, continuous, writhing movements that prevent stable posture

Q

What is CFCS - Communication Function Classification System

A

tool used to classify the everyday communication of an individual with cerebral palsy into one of five levels according to effectiveness of communication. It consists of five levels which describe everyday communication ability.

5) limited voluntary movement

21
Q

With MACS does HIGHER or LOWER score mean they handle objects well?

A

LOWER

1 > 5

22
Q

With FMS, does HIGHER or LOWER score mean increased independence with mobility

A

HIGHER
6 > 1
OPPOSITE OF GMFCS levels

A

Tardieu

31
Q

If you are assessing a child who has fatigable clonus at precise angle was level Tardieu is this?

A

3

*0 = no resistance
1 = slight resistance throughout
2 = catch and release
