The needs of children and young people with cerebral palsy.

Posted on April 30th 2010

This article describes the epidemiology of CP in childhood using data derived from the Northern Ireland Cerebral Palsy Register, which is one of the longest running CP registers in Europe. The findings presented here are similar to, and representative of, the epidemiology of CP in the western world (Dolk et al 2006).

Validity and reliability of measuring femoral anteversion and neck-shaft angle in patients with cerebral palsy.

Posted on April 30th 2010

CONCLUSIONS: A physical examination for determining femoral anteversion and the neck-shaft angle as measured on the internal rotation radiograph of the hips appear to be clinically relevant methods for evaluating the proximal femoral geometry and version in patients with cerebral palsy. Computed tomographic examination can probably be replaced by physical examination and an anteroposterior internal rotation radiograph of the hips for patients with stable hips who are able to walk.

Test-Retest Reliability of Discrete Gait Parameters in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Posted on April 30th 2010

Conclusions: Our findings suggest that select discrete gait parameters measured using computerized gait analysis are reliable and potentially responsive measures of performance and can be used as outcome measures in intervention studies. (Source: Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation)

Impact of Very Preterm Birth on Health Care Costs at Five Years of Age

Posted on April 30th 2010

CONCLUSIONS:
The health care costs during the fifth year of life in very preterm children with morbidities were 4.4-fold and in those without morbidities 1.4-fold compared with those of term control subjects. This emphasizes the importance of prevention of morbidities, especially CP, to reduce the long-term costs of prematurity. (Source: PEDIATRICS)
