- What is Cerebral Palsy? It is a group of conditions results in
permanent disorders of movement & posture due to damage in
fetal or infant brain Features: 1.epilepsy. 2. involuntary movement

& speech. 5- mental retardation. 6. abnormal movement /
behaviour. AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section

- Spasticity Spasticity is one of the most common UMN lesion
problem seen in children with CP resulting in postural control
& movement disorder thereby limitting, delaying or arresting
the sensory motor development.(also other areas like communication,
cognition, social, perception etc). AlWasl Hospital -
Rehabilitation Section
- Slide 19
- What is spasticity? Spasticity is a motor disorder
characterized by a velocity dependent increase in stretch
reflexes(muscle tone) with exaggerated tendon jerks resulting from
hyper excitability of the stretch reflex as one component of the
UMN syndrome (Lance, 1980). Spasticity is a movement disorder
affecting both the neural & non-neural characteristics of
postural tone and can be described by the positive & negative
UMN symptoms (D. Burke, 1988).
- Slide 20
- Neural components of UMN symptoms Positive symptoms Spasticity.
Spasms (flexor & extensor). Exaggerated tendon reflexes.
Clonus. Babinski response. Negative symptoms Weakness. Loss of
dexterity. Fatigability. AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation
Section
- Slide 21
- Non-neural component of UMN symptoms Altered muscle length
(elasticity): muscle fibres shorten (hypoextensible). Altered
muscle structure (viscosity): filaments become sticky affecting
muscle glide(stiffness). Abnormal co- contraction (reciprocal
innervation) : due to bio- mechanical effects of abnormal position.
(too much stability & not enough mobility). Changes in
visco-elastic properties leads to stiffness, tightness &
contracture. AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section

- AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section Intervention
Philosophies & strategies Evidence based? There is no evidence
that any one treatment method is superior to another. Therapists
select from the variety of treatments available those that best
meet the childs and familys need.
- Slide 25
- Analyzing Analysing the postural tone & patterns of
movement. What the child can do? How? /cant do ? why? Choosing
appropriate intervention/frequency depends on: Age ( infant,
toddlers, preschool, adolescent etc ) Distribution of postural tone
( diplegic, hemiplegic, quadriplegic etc) Quality of postural tone
( mild, moderate or severe ). Associated problems.( vision,
hearing, cognitive, seizure, SPD etc) AlWasl Hospital -
Rehabilitation Section
- Slide 26
- Early intervention Studies focused on child and family reported
favorable outcomes. The analysis also suggested that parent
participation might have a greater impact on childs outcomes for
children younger than 3 yrs.

- AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section Neonatal physiotherapy
is an advanced practice subspecialty area of paediatric
physiotherapy and involves a highly complex set of skills in
observation, examination and intervention procedures for the
extremely fragile NICU population. Main objective to identify
developmental delay in 1 st year of life Early intervention can
change abnormal movement pattern in mild to moderate cerebral palsy
Those whom deemed to be delay remain delay if no intervention
started. Neonatal Developmental screening

- Intervention Philosophies & strategies Neurodevelopmental
Therapy ( NDT) Moving through normal movement patterns to
experience normal movement Major components : reflex-inhibiting
posture, inhibition of abnormal reflexes, normalization of muscle
tone, and adherence to normal developmental sequence of motor
progression AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section
- Slide 33
- NDT Inhibiting abnormal movement patterns. Facilitating normal
movement patterns. No strong evidence that supports the
effectiveness of NDT for children with CP with respect to
normalizing muscle tone, increasing rate of attaining motor skills,
and improving functional motor skills Butler C, Darrah J: Effects
of Neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) for cerebral palsy: An AACPDM

- Slide 35
- Intervention Philosophies & strategies Sensory Integration
Therapy Principle: a neurobiological process organizes sensation
from ones own body and from environment and makes it possible to
use the body effectively within environment Emphasis on importance
of three body centered sensory systems : tactile, proprioceptive
& vestibular AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section

- SI Therapy AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section
- Slide 37
- Intervention Philosophies & strategies Constrained -
Induced Movement Therapy Constraining non-affected arm to encourage
performance of therapeutic task with the affected arm, which
children normally tend to disregard. Systematic review has found
the effectiveness of CIMT for children with hemiplegic CP. AlWasl
Hospital - Rehabilitation Section
- Slide 38
- Serial casting Serial casting may serve to reduce spasticity in
muscles by decreasing the strength of abnormally strong tonic foot
reflexes.(Bertoli 1996). Serial casting in the CP population has
been shown to improve ROM.( Brouwer 2000) Casting provides
stability and prolonged stretch of a muscle which is immobilized in
a lengthened position(Mosley 1997). At least 6 hrs of prolonged
stretch is needed for effectiveness(Tardieu 1987).
- Slide 39
- AlWasl Hospital - Rehabilitation Section Botox + serial casting
Botox reduces spasticity and improves ambulatory status.(Flett
1999) When used in combination with serial casting it has shown to
help maintain and improve muscle length and passive ROM.(Kay 2004)
Without conservative interventions such as serial casting, (with
& without botox injection) more expensive procedures may be
necessary. (Flett 1999)

Progressive resisted exercise improves muscle performance &
functional outcomes in CP children Research had supported
effectiveness on increasing force production in CP Dodd et.al.
