Q

Definition of CP

A

Group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitations that are attributed to no progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain

Q

Epidemiology of CP

A

Increasing due to more premies surviving, more term with CP, and longer survival. There are more kids with severe CP now.

25
Q

Schizencephaly is…

A

Abnormal Schiz (clefts) (division) (cleavage) (split) parts of one or both sides (open or closed lip)

26
Q

What defines dystonia

A

involuntary sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing twisting and repetitive movements and abnormal postures

27

Q

Does bracing work for CP Scoli

A

No (probably) –
Miller J Pedi Ortho 1996 21 kids, 5 years, 23 hours a day, no difference from 22 kids no bracing. No difference in curve, shape, or progression
