INNOVATIVE METHOD TO EVALUATE CEREBRAL PALSY IN CHILDREN

by Bose R C


A research team lead by by Baylor's Scott Coleman had found a new way to identify the depth of gait disability in patients with cerebral palsy. In those patients, the damage of the brain limits their arm and leg motor functions. Posture and free movement in the limbs are the major challenges faced by the physicians when treating patients with cerebral palsy. As it was difficult to support a patient's function involving movement without knowing their true depth. This study made easy to identify gait issues and may give better treatment options in the future.This was a randomized study, involving patients with and without cerebral palsy of mean age of 17 years, were assessed using three-dimensional gait analysis (GA). The goal of this novel study methodology was to aid in identifying different movement patterns that are helpful for improved treatment planning for children with cerebral palsy while also aiding in forecasting more accurate outcome. This can be used to help classify cerebral palsy based on their specific needs for the treatment. The study was based on four clinical categories as: 1) close to normal, 2) deviations mainly in the leg, 3) deviations mainly in the arm, and 4) deviations in the arm and the leg.This study was published in April 2014 edition of Clinical Biomechanics. The research, led internationally by Baylor and the Nordic researchers (Dr. Riad and Dan Lundh, from the University of Skövde), and Jacques Riad from Skaraborg Hospital in Skövde, Sweden.
