Medical management of complications with Cerebral Palsy

Tendon lengthening-z type incision in muscle/tendon increase ROM, decrease muscle spasticity

Tendon transfer-correct deformity, improve alignment and function

Osteotomy-correct bony malrotation, realign joint, reduce sublux, increase efficiency

Arthrodesis-fuses to correct progression, align spine

SEMLS-single even multilevel surgery-combine soft tissue with bony

Stem cell therapies

Antiepileptic drugs

Antispasticity drugs-baclofen, botox, neurolytic blocks

Deep brain stimulator

Selective dorsal rhizotomy- ambulatory children with bilateral spastic CP, age 3-8,
Hip adductor spasticity lower than 3 on modified ashworth scale, GMFM-88 score >60%

Posterior (reverse wheeled) walkers

Signs and Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, behavior
epilepsy
-Unilateral CP: partial seizures are most common (specific focal area) may manifest as staring spells or automatisms (repetitive movements) lip
smacking, eye turning, muscle contraction and relaxation on one side of the body
-Bilateral CP: generalized seizures are most common (both hemispheres) atonic-drop attack, sudden decrease in muscle tone

Secondary musculoskeletal problems:
sc******ng gait
balance deficits
low bone mass density
muscle weakness
muscle co-activation flexors/extensors causing stiffness
dysarthria, sialorrhea, oropharyngeal aspiration, dysphagia
spasticity
common deformities-ankle equinus, hip subluxation, knee crouching, UE contractures

Spasticity and tightness are related but distinct conditions involving muscle stiffness, but spasticity specifically refers to a velocity-dependent increase in muscle tone, while tightness is a general term for muscle stiffness that can be caused by various factors. Spasticity is often associated with neurological conditions causing disruption in communication between the brain and muscles, such as CP and is characterized by increased resistance to movement, particularly when the movement is rapid. People often have exaggerated deep tendon reflexes as well. Tightness, on the other hand, can be caused by factors like muscle overuse, inactivity, or even a muscle strain.

Types of Cerebral Palsy

Spastic CP-consistent cramped-synchronized movements (earlier onset correlates with greater severity of impairment), absent fidgety movements (may be preceded by poor repertoire of cramped-synchronized general movements), transient cramped-synchronized movements followed by absent fidgety movements (neurological outcome is normal if transient cramped-synchronized movements are followed by typical fidgety movements

Dyskinetic (dystonia or athetosis) CP-poor repertoire of general movements, atypical circular UE movements, finger splaying (all types seen together until second post term month, circular UE movements are slow forward rotations of the shoulder and monotonous in their amplitude and speed, circular movements and finger splaying persist until at least the fifth post-term month), lack of midline skills (seen at 3 months of age and later), absence of fidgety movements (seen between 3 and 5 months of age)

Bilateral CP-movement and posture of all 4 extremities and trunk are impaired (diplegia or quadriplegia)-consistent cramped-synchronized movements (if movement type has a later onset and is present for a shorter period of time, UEs are more likely to be less involved than LEs resulting in diplegia, concurrent presence of isolated movements of hands and fingers that occur separately or a part of general movements predicts diplegic CP, in the absence of isolated movements, UEs and LEs are more likely to be equally involved resulting in quadriplegic CP)

Causes of Cerebral Palsy

Prenatal (75%)-congenital brain malformations, vascular events, maternal infections in the first and second trimesters, rare genetic syndromes, maternal ingestion of toxins, metabolic disorders (ie occlusion of middle cerebral artery, rubella, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasmosis)

Perinatal (6-8%)-problems during labor and delivery associated with perinatal asphyxia, neonatal problems (ie umbilical cord prolapse, obstructed labor, antepartum hemorrhage, untreated jaundice, hypoglycemia, severe infection)

Postnatal (10-18%)-infections, injuries, life-threatening events (ie meningitis, septicemia, malaria, MVA, near drowning, non-accidental injuries, CVA, sequelae of surgical intervention for congenital malformations)

On Feb. 28, Rare Disease Day brings awareness to the one in 20 people who live with a rare disease.

A rare disease is defined as any disease, disorder, illness or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 in the United States, according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD).

There are an estimated 7,000 existing rare diseases and despite the large number of people who have rare diseases, only 5 percent of these diseases have treatments, according to NORD.

A zebra is seen as the official symbol of rare diseases in the United States.

“Everyone has his/her own stripes, those characteristics that make each individual distinct,” according to Rare Disease Day.

It's common for babies to cry during physical therapy sessions, especially in the early stages. This is often a sign that the exercises are challenging and can be a normal part of the adjustment process. However, if the crying is excessive or persists, it's important to discuss with the therapist to ensure the baby is comfortable and the therapy is progressing appropriately.

“Kids are motivated to move. If we wait to intervene, kids will find a way to move that may interfere with future movement, because they want to explore their environment. Exploring their environment is how they learn.”

In the DPT program, we learn that pediatric physical therapy is family-centered care and an example of a therapeutic alliance, which means listening to parents or guardians (and the child, if they’re old enough to participate) to understand what the challenges are and what success looks like for them. Families are typically present during pediatric PT appointments, which helps them understand the homework or care assignments that a child receives. They are encouraged to be hands-on and mimic what the physical therapist does to try it out and understand what works best.

I could be the best therapist in the whole world, but the few times I see a patient each week isn’t what makes the difference. It’s what happens between those appointments with the family interacting with their child that makes the difference.
