DEFINITION � Disorder of Posture and Movement that occurs

during infancy or early childhood.

� Caused by non progressive damage to the brain

before, during or shortly after birth.

� Also called as static encephalopathy of brain but 

the manifestations change as the child grows.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/cerebral-palsy-third-yr 3/50

� Incidence: 1-2.5 cases per 1000 live births.

� Early damage to the brain causes disruption involuntary movements.

� Also known as Littles Disease.

Mechanism Of Movement Problems� Abnormal muscle tone, disturbance of balance

mechanisms, muscle weakness and loss of 

selective motor control lead to an inability tostretch muscles.

� Muscle weakness, spasticity,and contractures

also result in abnormal skeletal forces.

� The distal biarticular muscles are more affected 

because selective motor control is worse distally.

Evaluation Of Hip� Ortolani¶s Test(reduction test)

 ± With the baby relaxed in the supine position,

the hips and knees are flexed to 90*, theexaminer grasp the baby¶s thigh with middle

finger over the greater trochanter and lifts the

thigh an simultaneously gently abducting thethigh, thus reducing the dislocation and a

³clunk´ will be observed

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/cerebral-palsy-third-yr 23/50

� Barlow¶s Test - provocative test (dislocation) also

called Reverse Ortolani¶s test.

� The baby¶s thigh is grasped with the middle

finger along the baby¶s thigh adducted and with

a gentle downward pressure.� Dislocation is palpable as the femoral head slips

out of the acetabulum.

� Thomas Test:Flexion of the opposite Lower 

extremity and check for 

lumbar lordosis.

Raising of affected extremity into flexion confirms

tightness of hip flexors.

at birth and decreases progressively to about 10-15 degrees at skeletal maturity

MACS ( Handling objects)

I Walks without limitations Handles objects easily &

successfully 

II Walks with limitations Handles most objects but with

somewhat reduced quality and/or spread of achievement 

III Walks using a hand held mobility  

devices

Handles objects with difficulty;

needs help to prepare &/or 

modify activities

IV Self mobility with limitations; may  use powered mobility 

Handles a limited selection of easily managed objects in

magnus preserved this is not 

significant 

 Adductor origin transfer to Ischium
