Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common congenital neurological disorder. The etiological and the risk factors are many and an awareness of the interplay of multiple factors in the causation is crucial. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical prole and risk factors of CP children in and around Chidambaram. A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Rajah Muthiah Medical College and Hospital, Chidambaram. Seventy clinically diagnosed CP children were enrolled and clinical prole and history were retrieved from the case sheets and the parents of CP children. The result shows that out of 70 CP children 53% of males and 47% of females were found. The anthropometric measurements like height and weight of the CP children were found lower than the normal. Among 70 children spastic type of CP was the most common, Athetoid type (5.7%) and ataxic type (5.7%) are the least common type. This study concluded that neonatal care services in Chidambaram should be reviewed to get more attention which helps to promote early intervention and rehabilitation of CP children.

Obstacle Crossing

Abstract Background Balance problems are common in children who have cerebral palsy (CP) but are active and ambulant. Control of the whole-body center of mass is critical in maintaining dynamic stability during challenging mobility tasks, such as clearing an obstacle while walking. Objective The objective of this study was to compare trunk and lower limb kinematics and center-of-mass control in children with CP and those in children with typical development during obstacle crossing. Design This was a cross-sectional study. Thirty-four children who were 5 to 17 years of age (17 with CP and 17 with typical development) and matched in age and height completed 2 gait trials involving crossing a 10-cm obstacle. Methods Three-dimensional kinematic and kinetic data were captured with a general-purpose 3-dimensional motion tracking system and forceplates. Trunk data were captured with a validated model. Results All children cleared the obstacle with similar hip and knee kinematics, step length, and single-support duration. In children with CP, step width was increased by 4.81 cm, and center-of-mass velocity was significantly slower at lead limb toe-off (0.31 m/s) and during lead limb clearance (0.2 m/s). Children with CP showed altered trunk and pelvis movement, characterized by significantly greater pelvic obliquity, pelvic tilt, and trunk rotation throughout the task, increased lateral trunk lean during lead limb crossing (3.7°), and greater sagittal trunk movement as the trail limb crossed (5.1°). Limitations The study was not powered to analyze differences between children with diplegia and those with hemiplegia. Conclusions Children with CP required greater adjustments at the trunk and pelvis to achieve successful obstacle crossing. The increase in trunk movement could have been compensatory for reduced stability distally or for a primary problem reflecting poor proximal control. The findings suggest that rehabilitation should focus on both proximal trunk control and distal stability to improve balance.
