"Cerebral Paralysis” or
“Little’s Disease”
After an English surgeon
wrote the 1st medical
descriptions
William John Little
(1810-1894)
3. CEREBRAL PALSY (CP)
Cerebral“- Latin Cerebrum;
Affected part of brain
“Palsy " -Gr. para- beyond,
lysis – loosening
Lack of muscle control
4. CEREBRAL PALSY (CP)
A motor function disorder
caused by permanent, non-progressive brain
lesion
present at birth or shortly thereafter.
Non-curable, life-long condition
Damage doesn’t worsen
May be congenital or acquired
5. CEREBRAL PALSY (CP)
A Heterogenous Group of
Movement Disorders.
– An umbrella term
– Not a single diagnosis
8. In CP
Muscles are unaffected.
Brain is unable to send
the appropriate signals
necessary to instruct
muscles when to
contract and relax.

60. a. History Taking
Include all that may predispose an
infant to brain damage or CP
Risk factors
Psychosocial factors
Family adaptation
61. b. Child’s Health History
Often admitted to hospitals for corrective surgeries and
other complications.
Respiratory status
Motor function
Presence of fever
Feeding and weight loss
Any changes in physical state
Medical regimen
63. CRITERIA
P osturing / Poor muscle control and strength
O ropharyngeal problems
S trabismus/ Squint
T one (hyper-, hypotonia)
E volutional maldevelopment
R eflexes (e.g. increaseddeep tendon)
*Abnormalities 4/6 strongly point to CP
64. Posturing / Poor muscle
control and strength
Test hand strength by lifting the child off the ground while the
child holds the nurses hands.
Observe for presence of limb deformity, as decreased use of
extremity leads to shortening.
Upon extension of extremities on vertical suspension of the
infant,
If infant back bend backwards like
and arch may indicate CP is severe
66. Strabismus
Squint Tone
Hypertonia - rigid, tense
Hypotonia – floppy or
flaccid
67. Evolutional mal development
Delays in motor skills
such as rolling over, sitting, crawling, and
walking
Size for age.
Persistence of primitive reflexes or parachute
reflex fail to develop
68. Present at birth, normally disappears after 3 or
4 months (some say 6months)
Alternative Names:
Startle response; Startle reflex; Embrace reflex
69. Asymmetric tonic neck reflex
"fencing position“
-- head to one side, arm & leg on that side extended,
opposite limbs flexed.
71. Placing Reflex
When the dorsal (back) side of the hand or foot is placed on the
edge of a surface, such as a table, the infant will lift the
extremity and place it on the flat surface.
72. Landau Reflex
When the infant is held in a horizontal prone position, the infant will lift head
and extend the neck and trunk. When the neck is passively flexed, the entire
body will flex. This reflex is present by 6 months and hypotonicity (low
tone) indicates motor system deficits.
73. Parachute Reflex
When held around the waist in a horizontal prone position and then lowering
the infant slowly, head first to the surface. By age 6 to 8 months the infant
should respond by extending the arms and hands to break the “fall”. If this
response is asymmetrical it indicates an unilateral motor abnormality.
77. - No treatment to cure cerebral palsy.
- Brain damage cannot be corrected.
Crucial for children with CP:
Early Identification;
Multidisciplinary Care; and
Support
79. A. General management
- Proper nutrition and personal care
B. Pharmacologic
Botox, Intrathecal, Baclofen
- control muscle spasms and seizures,
-Delivered directly to the spinal fluid
-Using a pump to avoid brain effects
Glycopyrrolate -control drooling
Pamidronate -may help with osteoporosis.
80. C. Surgery
-To loosen joints,
-Relieve muscle tightness,
- Straightening of different twists or
unusual curvatures of leg muscles
- Improve the ability to sit, stand, and walk.
81. Selective posterior rhizotomy
Is used to improve
spasticity (muscle
stiffness) in cerebral
palsy. In some cases
nerves need to be severed
to decrease muscle
tension of inappropriate
contractions.
82. Procedure
A major operation, takes approximately four hours to
complete.
The sensory nerve fibers in the spinal cord, usually
between the bottom of the rib cage and the top of the
hips are divided
The nerve fibers are then stimulated and the responses
of the leg muscles are observed.
Those that have an abnormal or excessive response
are severed.
Those with a normal response are left intact.
Intensive rehabilitation is required after the surgery,
usually up to six weeks, followed by physical therapy
on an ongoing basis.
85. D. Physical Aids
Orthosis, braces and splints
- Keep limbs in correct alignment
- Prevent deformities.
Positioning devices
-Enable better posture
Walkers, special scooters, wheelchairs
- make it easier to move about.
86. E. Special Education
- To meet the child's special needs
- Improve learning.
- Vocational training can help prepare young
adults for jobs
87. F. Rehabilitation Services-
Speech and occupational therapies may improve
the ability to speak, and perform activities of
daily living and to do some suitable works to
have their own income.
88. G. Family Services
- Professional support helps a patient and
family cope with cerebral palsy.
- Counselors help parents learn how to
modify behaviors.
- Caring for a child with cerebral palsy can
be very stressful.
- Some families find support groups helpful.
89. H. Other Treatment
- Therapeutic electrical stimulation,
- Acupuncture,
- Hyperbaric therapy
- Massage Therapy might help
90. II. Physical Therapy
'The ultimate long-term goal is realistic independence.
To get there we have to have some short-term goals.
Those being a working communication system,
education to his potential, computer skills and, above
all, friends'.
91. A. Sitting
- Vertical head control and
control of head and trunk.
B. Standing and walking
- Establish an equal distribution of
weight on each foot, train to use steps or inclines
C. Prone Development
D. Supine Development
-Head control on supine and positions

children with cerebral palsy.

Abstract
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common movement disorder in
children that is associated with life-long disability and multiple
impairments. The clinical manifestations of CP vary among
children. CP is accompanied by a wide range of problems and
has a broad spectrum. Children with CP demonstrate poor fine
and dross motor function due to psychomotor disturbances.
Early rehabilitation programs are essential for children with CP
and should be appropriate for the age and functional condition
of the patients.
94. Cont…
Kinesio taping (KT) technique is a relatively new
technique applied in rehabilitation programs of CP.
The author reviews the effects of KT techniques on
improving motor skills in children with CP. In this study,
we used keywords "cerebral palsy, Kinesio Tape, KT and
Taping" in the national and international electronic
databases between 1999 and 2016. Out of the 43 articles
obtained, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria.
95. Cont…
Findings:- There are several different applications about KT
technique in children with CP. Review of the literature
demonstrated that the impact of this technique on gross and fine
motor function and dynamic activities is more effective than
postural and static activities. Also this technique has more
effectiveness in the child at higher developmental and motor
stages.
The majority of consistent findings showed that KT technique as
part of a multimodal therapy program can be effective in the
rehabilitation of children with CP to improve motor function and
dynamic activities especially in higher developmental and motor
stages.
99. Nursing Diagnosis
a. Risk for injury r/t spasms, uncontrolled movements and seizures.
b. Impaired Physical mobility r/t spasms and muscle weakness.
c. Changes in growth and development r/t neuromuscular disorders.
d. Impaired verbal communication r/t difficulty in articulation.
e. Risk for aspiration r/t neuromuscular disorders.
f. Changes in thought processes r/t cerebral injury, learning disabilities.
g. Self-care Deficit r/t muscle spasms, increased activity, cognitive
changes.
h. Deficient Knowledge r/t home care and therapeutic needs.
