25
Need to be ____ tone to have CP. Need _____ ____.
- spastic tone | - physical examination
26
Non-motor characteristics of CP:
- sensory problems: hearing or vision impairments - seizures (50%), sleep disorders - attention, behaviour, communication and/or cognitive
27
Which of the following is NOT a non-motor characteristic associated with CP? Seizures, attention, pain, hearing impairments
- pain - kids with dystonia can get diffuse musculoskeletal pain - secondary complaint
28
When we perform functional motor assessment, what are things to keep in mind?
- pick the right age group - pick the right level - facilitate the best possible function
29
In gross motor function classification system we note...
child's current abilities and strengths in sitting, standing and walking
30
In gross motor function classification system, we divide into ___ age groups.
5
31
In gross motor function classification system, there is ___ levels for each age.
5
32
In manual ability classification system, we assess the ability to...
use hands for daily function
33
We use the manual ability classification system for what age range?
4-18
34
How many levels of classification are there for the manual ability classification system?
5 levels for classification
35
GMFCS level 1:
- walk, climb stairs without limitation - running jumping - speed, balance, coordination are impaired
36
GMFCS level 2:
- climb stairs holding onto railing | - limitations walking on uneven surfaces and inclines, walking in crowds, confined spaces
37
GMFCS level 3:
- level surface with assistive mobility device - may climb stairs with railing - manual wheelchair
38
GMFCS level 4:
- walk short distance with walker | - wheeled mobility
39
GMFCS level 5:
- physical impairment restricts voluntary control of movement and ability to maintain antigravity head and trunk postures - all areas of motor function limited - no means of independent mobility
40
MACS level 1:
handles objects easily and successfully
41
MACS level 2:
- handles most objects | - somewhat reduced quality and/or speed of achievement
42
MACS level 3:
- handles objects with difficulty | - needs help to prepare and/or modify activities
43
MACS level 4:
handles a limited selection of easily managed objects in adapted situations
44
MACS level 5:
- does not handle objects | - severely limited ability to perform even simple actions
45
CP is a _____ _____ term, not a ______ _____.
- clinical descriptive | - aetiological diagnosis
46
What is the causal factor for CP?
- no one causal factor | - synergism of many things that often starts in utero
47
What are the 3 time periods?
- antenatal - perinatal - postnatal
48
Antenatal:
in-utero
49
Perinatal:
when you're being born
50
Postnatal:
- after you're born | - approx to 1 year of age
51
Name risk factors in antenatal period. What % of CP does it make up?
- prematurity and low birth weight - intrauterine infections - multiple gestation - pregnancy complications - 70-80% of CP
52
Name risk factors in perinatal period. What % of CP does it make up?
- birth asphyxia - complicated labour and delivery - 10% of CP
53
Name risk factors in postnatal period.
- non-accidental injury - head trauma - meningitis/encephalitis - cardio-pulmonary arrest
54
Name protective factors in obstetrical care that can cause CP.
- magnesium sulfate - antibiotics - corticosteroids
55
Describe how low birthweight is associated with high risk of CP.
- 1500g - 2500g risk goes back up to normal population - associated with amount of time in-utero and growth problems - twins at higher risk of CP
56
existing cases in a population ____, vs the # of new cases relative to a birth cohort (___ _____ _____)
- stable | - can change rapidly
57
Prevalence is important for...
service provision and resource allocation
58
Estimated ___ per _____ live births (Western world).
2/1000
59
Those born < 1500 g in Ireland prevalence:
39/1000
60
Those born >2500 g prevalence:
1.3/1000
