Specialty. Neurology. Athetoid cerebral palsy, or dyskinetic cerebral palsy (sometimes abbreviated ADCP), is a type of cerebral palsy primarily associated with damage, like other forms of CP, to the basal ganglia in the form of lesions that occur during brain development due to bilirubin encephalopathy and hypoxic–ischemic brain injury. [1]
Spastic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy characterized by spasticity or high muscle tone often resulting in stiff, jerky movements. [1] Cases of spastic CP are further classified according to the part or parts of the body that are most affected. [2] Such classifications include spastic diplegia, spastic hemiplegia, spastic ...
describes motor function of individuals with cerebral palsy. The Gross Motor Function Classification System or GMFCS is a 5 level clinical classification system that describes the gross motor function of people with cerebral palsy on the basis of self-initiated movement abilities. Particular emphasis in creating and maintaining the GMFCS scale ...
A general movements assessment is a type of medical assessment used in the diagnosis of cerebral palsy, [ 1] and is particularly used to follow up high-risk neonatal cases. [ 2] The general movements assessment involves measuring movements that occur spontaneously among those less than four months of age and appears to be most accurate test for ...
Dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) is a subtype of cerebral palsy (CP) and is characterized by impaired muscle tone regulation, coordination and movement control. Dystonia and choreoathetosis are the two most dominant movement disorders in patients with DCP. [1][2]
The Modified Ashworth scale (MAS) measures resistance during passive soft-tissue stretching and is used as a simple measure of spasticity. [ 1 ] Scoring (taken from Bohannon and Smith, 1987): 0: No increase in muscle tone. 1: Slight increase in muscle tone, manifested by a catch and release or by minimal resistance at the end of the range of ...
Spastic quadriplegia, also known as spastic tetraplegia, is a subset of spastic cerebral palsy that affects all four limbs (both arms and legs). Compared to quadriplegia, spastic tetraplegia is defined by spasticity of the limbs as opposed to strict paralysis. It is distinguishable from other forms of cerebral palsy in that those afflicted with ...
Spastic cerebral palsy is the type of cerebral palsy characterized by spasticity or high muscle tone often resulting in stiff, jerky movements. [109] Itself an umbrella term encompassing spastic hemiplegia, spastic diplegia, spastic quadriplegia and – where solely one limb or one specific area of the body is affected – spastic monoplegia.
