CEREBRAL PALSY (CP)

Most common physical disability of childhood. It is a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture attributed to non-progressive injury to the fetal or infant brain. It is clinically diagnosed usually between 12 and 24 months. The incidence as of 2020 1.5-3.0 per 1000 live births.

TYPES OF CEREBRAL PALSY (SCPE CLASSIFICATION)

Spastic 89% Dyskinetic 6% Ataxic 5%

Distribution Type will emerge and change over the first 2 years of life.

slide-4
SLIDE 4

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

The type they present as is dependant upon the location of the injury. In addition to motor disabilities, disturbances can be seen in:

  • Cognition
  • Perception
  • Communication
  • Behaviour

Comorbid Conditions:

  • Epilepsy
  • Secondary musculoskeletal problems

SLIDE 5

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Spastic Cerebral Palsy:

  • Spasticity is defined as velocity dependant

resistance to stretch.

  • Limb involvement can be hemiplegia,

diplegia, or quadriplegia.

  • Affected limbs will have hyperactive DTRs,

hypertonicity, tremors, weakness.

  • There is a characteristic “scissor gait” with

toe walking.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy

  • Abnormally slow writhing movements of the hands,

feet, or legs.

  • Exacerbated during periods of stress.
  • Absent during sleep.
  • Dystonic CP: Irregular posture + enhanced muscle

tension

  • “hypertonic-hypokinetic”
  • Athetoid CP: Quick, uncontrolled, fragmented

movements overlapped with dynamic twisting movement + predominantly diminished muscle tension

  • “hypotonic-hyperkinetic”

SLIDE 7

CLINICAL PRESENTATION

Ataxic Cerebral Palsy:

  • Impaired balance and

coordination.

  • Wide-based gait.
  • Intention tremors that impair

fine motor function.

  • Predominantly lowered muscle

tension.

SLIDE 8

ETIOLOGIES

Historically CP was thought to be due to hypoxia during labour, delivery, and perinatal periods; however, treatment measures targeted in these areas did not change the incidence. Risk factors for developing cerebral palsy are now divided as: Preconception, Prenatal, Perinatal, and Neonatal/infant period.

DIAGNOSIS

Warning signs for Cerebral Palsy

  • Delayed development (largely

motor)

  • Abnormal muscle tone
  • Unusual posture
  • Persistent infantile reflexes
  • Hand preference before the age of 1

DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS

slide-11
SLIDE 11

DIAGNOSTICS

  • Based on clinical presentation and history.
  • Precise interview concerned with pregnancy, labour, neonatal and infant

period. Imaging Tools:

  • Brain ultrasonography in infants.
  • CT of the brain in older children.
  • MRI of the brain; Can be conducted on foetuses.
  • Abnormalities demonstrated in more than 80% of CP patients.
  • MRI can reveal anatomic abnormalities characteristic of particular CP

types Additional tests: Psychological tests, vision evaluation, audiometric tests and Video EEG

GROSS MOTOR FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Children walk at home, school, outdoors and in the community. They can climb stairs without the use of a railing. Children perform gross motor skills such as running and jumping, but speed, balance and coordination are limited.

GMFCS I

slide-20
SLIDE 20

GROSS MOTOR FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Children walk in most settings and climb stairs holding onto a railing. They may experience difficulty walking long distances and balancing on uneven terrain, inclines, in crowded areas or confined spaces. Children may walk with physical assistance, a handheld mobility device or used wheeled mobility over long distances. Children have

  • nly minimal ability to perform gross motor skills such as running and jumping.

GMFCS II

slide-21
SLIDE 21

GROSS MOTOR FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Children walk using a hand-held mobility device in most indoor settings. They may climb stairs holding onto a railing with supervision or assistance. Children use wheeled mobility when traveling long distances and may self- propel for shorter distances.

GMFCS III

slide-22
SLIDE 22

GROSS MOTOR FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Children use methods of mobility that require physical assistance or powered mobility in most settings. They may walk for short distances at home with physical assistance or use powered mobility or a body support walker when

  • positioned. At school, outdoors and in the community children are transported in

a manual wheelchair or use powered mobility.

GMFCS IV

slide-23
SLIDE 23

GROSS MOTOR FUNCTION CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM

Children are transported in a manual wheelchair in all settings. Children are limited in their ability to maintain antigravity head and trunk postures and control leg and arm movements.

MANAGEMENT

Goal: Increase functionality, improve capabilities, sustain health

  • Physical and Occupational Therapy
  • Speech and Language Therapy
  • Assistive Technologies
  • Medications
  • Botulinum toxin type A
  • Baclofen
  • Benzodiazepine
  • Surgery
  • Selective dorsal rhizotomy
  • Selective peripheral neurotomy
  • Supportive surgical procedures
slide-25
SLIDE 25

MANAGEMENT OF EPILEPSY IN CEREBRAL PALSY

  • Antiepileptic drugs have a lower

efficacy and patients are often drug resistance.

  • Drug resistant epilepsy occurs more
  • ften in spastic quadriplegia type CP.
  • Risk factors:
  • Neonatal convulsions
  • Intense neuropathological changes

in cerebrum

  • Mental retardation.
  • Consider non-pharmacological

methods of treatment for drug resistant epilepsy

  • Surgeries (Causal vs. Supportive)
  • Neuromodulation
  • Ketogenic diet
slide-26
SLIDE 26

ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT AND PROGNOSIS

  • Oral-motor function is commonly impaired.
  • May require long-term nasogastric tube feeding or gastrostomy.
  • Associated with decreased survival.
  • Marked reduction in bone mass in non-ambulatory patients.
  • Mental health can be affected by chronic pain, social isolation, and loss
  • f functionality/independence.
  • Patients are also have higher mortality for ischemic heart disease,

cerebrovascular disease, and digestive disorders.

  • Increased risk of breast and brain cancer.
  • Increased risk from preventable deaths (drowning, motor vehicles

crashes)

  • Prognosis is based on disease severity and functionality.
