▼ 1. Abstract In many cases, hand function is one of the most debilitating impairment affecting children with cerebral palsy. Often, sensory deficits, abnormal muscle tone, impairment of the gross and fine motor functions as well as coordination deficits can be seen, making even the simplest movements very difficult. Occupational therapy focuses on the developing skills that are used for daily living. The aim of this study was to show if there is any additional effect of the occupational therapy if it is combined with physical therapy on improving the hand function in a child with cerebral palsy. It was supposed that in mild cases of cerebral palsy physiotherapy and occupational training can improve the hand functions and functional movements, facilitating the self-care and the daily life activities. One 7-year old patient with spastic hemiplegia was observed and treated for fourteen weeks by using the tools of the occupational therapy. Patient had asymmetrical body posture. The right hand was in mild flexion from elbow and the right upper limb was weaker in general. Patient used orthesis for the hand (AHB) preventing the spasticity and helping the patient to be able to use the hands. Several tasks designed to improve the hand functional movements were processed and the time required for execution was measured several times during the intervention period. To estimate the trend in the improvement, sigmoid curve was fitted to data. The results showed remarkable improvement in the skills require for the coordination of movements. On the basis of characteristics of the fitted curves the tests were divided into 3 categories from the easiest to the hardest according to the time necessary for the patient to finish them. The time to complete the easier tasks reduced almost by 20%, the intermediate ones by 15-10%, while the hardest ones by 5-10% only. In conclusion, the results of this study show some improvement in hand function and may help the children with spastic hemiplegia. It has to be taken into consideration that this study was a case study with only one patient. These tests may result in different outcome in other patients with different types of CP. The severity of the disease may also influence the success of the intervention. The duration and number of repetition may be also determining factors. There is a need for further investigation with more patients and various types of CP for a more reliable result.

▼ Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in childhood. Today, most children with CP survive into adulthood with life expectancies similar to typically developing (TD) adults. One of the biggest challenges during the lifespan of individuals with CP is healthy aging; to prevent or minimize the secondary effects of CP on the musculoskeletal system (e.g. bone deformities due to spasticity) as well as to improve functional status and quality of life. There is currently no treatment that is able to cure the brain damage which causes CP, but a variety of options exist to address spasticity, the most prevalent primary condition which is estimated to be present in 80% of people with CP. One of these options is the neurosurgical procedure of Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) which entails selective sectioning of dorsal rootlets in the lumbosacral area, diminishing spasticity through reducing muscle tone. SDR gained increasing acceptance following the work of Peacock and Arens in the 1980s, and although a large number of studies have demonstrated the benefits of this procedure, they largely comprise relatively short-term follow-up assessments in children and adolescents. There is thus a need for long-term follow-up studies focussed on all facets of daily living (International Classification of Function, Disability and Health (ICF) model domains: body structure and function, activity and participation) and quality of life in adults with CP who underwent SDR in their childhood. The aim of this doctoral thesis was to address this need, and provide information that might help guide parents, caregivers and clinicians in their clinical decision-making process for a child with CP. This aim was addressed through three key investigations. First, the status of adults with CP and spastic diplegia - related to all domains of the ICF-model and health-related quality of life - was determined more than 25 years after SDR. Second, changes in gait pattern, spinal deformities and level of activities and participation in adults with CP were determined nine years after a similar assessment. Third, associations between results in the different ICFmodel domains along with personal and environmental context factors. This PhD thesis forms part of a longitudinal investigation tracking the health and wellness of adults with CP. The former studies were performed in 2008 and consequently a recent follow-up was conducted in 2017 in the same CP cohort. All participants underwent SDR according to the Peacock method (strict selection criteria were adhered) at Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, between 1981 and 1991. This PhD thesis is based on four studies, with the first being a cross-sectional study conducted in 2017 (Chapter 2) and the other three are nine-year follow-up studies (comparing findings in 2017 with studies conducted in 2008 (Chapter 3 - 5). Each study included a matched TD group, except for the spine study (Chapter 4). Participants were observed and assessed for functioning, health,… Advisors/Committee Members: Langerak, Nelleke (advisor), Lamberts, Robert (advisor), Fieggen, Graham (advisor).

▼ Background Cerebral palsy has been identified as the most common, chronic childhood disability that causes appreciable motor deficit. Building the capacity of caregivers and improving children’s functional capacities through rehabilitation programs could reduce the physical and psychological burden imposed by the caregiving process. There is paucity of information about the experiences of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy in Ghana especially those who are not receiving any form of care. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and perception of caregivers living in rural communities. Methodology A descriptive phenomenological approach as proposed by Husserl was used to explore the experiences of 12 caregivers of children with cerebral palsy aged between 2 years 9 months to 14 years. The caregivers’ interviews were analysed using Colaizzi’s phenomenological method of data analysis framework. Findings Two main themes emerged from the narratives of the caregivers. The first theme ‘Developing personal beliefs to support the caregiving role’ revealed that caregivers developed religious and spiritual beliefs to interpret their children’s condition, perceive the standard of care and negatively their beliefs caused feeling of despair and sorrow. The second main theme ‘Demands that shaped the experience of caring’ revealed the demands included physical, financial and social demands. The essential structure of the phenomenon demonstrated the complex interaction of personal and environmental factors in harmony with the actual demands to influence the experiences of caregivers positively or negatively. Positively caregivers achieve coping, committed to caring, hope for the future and acceptance of the condition of their children. However negatively caregivers described the triggering factors of feeling of despair and sorrow as frustration, lack of understanding of the condition, felt stigmatised and perceived that the child was going through pain and suffering. Conclusion Caregivers derived strength from their religious and spiritual beliefs to balance the demands of caregiving. The new findings could be used as a basis for developing interventions to support caregivers, inform new strategies for rehabilitation care delivery and sensitisation of community members about inclusion of children with disabilities in the future.

▼ Introduction Twenty two mostly small studies have reported associations between cerebral palsy (CP) and specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These data require prospective confirmation in a large cohort. Only one study has examined maternal genetic risk factors for CP. The current large study of mothers and children examines the contributions of genetic and epidemiological factors to CP and their interactions. Methods Caucasian children aged between five and 18 years who were born in Australia were recruited with their mothers. Results from 587 case pairs and 1,154 control pairs were analysed. Each mother and child provided DNA using buccal swabs. Multiplex PCR was used to genotype individuals and 35 specific SNPs were included in the analysis. These candidate SNPs have been putatively associated with thrombophilia, inflammation and preterm birth. Mothers completed a health, pregnancy and delivery questionnaire. State perinatal data for each participant provided further epidemiological data, while CP registers provided cerebral palsy diagnosis data. Univariable analysis examined each epidemiological and genetic risk factor individually with Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. Subsequent multivariable analyses were performed combining risks and examining interactions. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals are reported. Results Univariable analysis of SNP associations with CP did not confirm the majority of associations reported in the literature after correction for multiple testing. Prothrombin gene mutation in the child remained associated with hemiplegia in term delivered infants where a maternal infection during pregnancy was reported (OR 4.52, 1.70-12.03, p=0.059 after Bonferroni correction). Epidemiological associations with CP included maternal infection during pregnancy (OR 1.55, 1.26-1.91), small for gestational age (<10th centile, OR 4.35, 2.92-6.48), gestational age <32 weeks (OR 59.20, 28.87-121.38), multiple birth (OR 6.62, 4.00-10.95), a relative with CP (OR 1.61, 1.12-2.32) and male gender (OR 1.68, 1.38-2.06). Iatrogenic heat in labour did not increase the risk of CP. Multivariable analyses of genetic and epidemiological risk factors identified significant associations of CP with male gender (OR 1.5, 1.1-2.1), reported maternal infection (OR 1.9, 1.2-3.0), a relative with CP (OR 1.8, 1.1-2.9) and maternal carriage of TGF-β1-509 (OR 1.3, 1.0-1.6). Subtype analyses showed an increased risk of quadriplegic CP with a family history of CP (OR 3.27, 1.13-9.45). The interaction of maternal TNF-α 308 with infection was inversely related to CP (OR 0.7, 0.5-0.9). Discussion Most SNP associations in the literature were not confirmed by this study, probably because those studies did not correct for multiple testing. The study confirmed the reported epidemiological associations with CP in the literature. Combined multivariable analyses suggest an association of some maternal and fetal genotypes with CP outcome, particularly when an infection was reported. These results require… Advisors/Committee Members: MacLennan, Alastair Harvey (advisor), Haan, Eric Albert (advisor), Dekker, Gustaaf Albert (advisor), School of Paediatrics and Reproductive Health (school).

▼ Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a childhood-onset neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive lesion in the developing brain. It causes permanent motor and movement disorders, and can sometimes cause secondary cognitive, sensory, and communication conditions. The majority of children with CP will survive into adulthood; however, a relatively small amount of research has been done about adulthood and aging with CP. Using data collected in Ontario with the Resident Assessment Instrument for Home Care (RAI-HC), a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis was performed to create a clinical profile of adults with CP receiving long term home care services in Ontario. Of the 519, 443 people in the sample, 2000 had CP. Persons with CP tended to be younger than comparison groups, had higher scores on functional assessment scales, and were more likely to use assistive devices. They tended to have lower scores on scales meant to predict decline in health or function than the comparison groups, suggesting increased health and functionality stability compared to other Home Care recipients. A second analysis assessed the association between functional assessment scales, demographic variables and clinical indicators and use of physical therapy (PT), occupational therapy (PT) and either PT or OT for persons with CP in this population. Using three logistic regression models, indicators that were found to have positive, significant associations with use of rehabilitative services were: receipt of initial assessment, likelihood of decline in functionality, use of a wheelchair, being married, and CCAC of assessment origin. Living in a private residence compared to living in an assisted living situation had a significant, negative effect on rehabilitative service use. These findings suggest that PT and OT are referred to persons with CP in reaction to risk of health declines, and not in an attempt to improve baseline functionality. Future research on the factors that would indicate likelihood of improvement with PT or OT could identify whether these associations are appropriate for optimum care for persons with CP who receive home care services.

▼ This study addresses the development of the relationship between individuals with moderate to severe cerebral palsy and their non-disabled siblings over their life course. There has as yet been no focus on the sibling relationships of adults with moderate to severe cerebral palsy. Those with moderate to severe cerebral palsy can require high levels of personal care and assistance with activities of daily living throughout their lives, due to their often significant physical and communication impairments. This coupled with the fact that they are living longer and outliving their parents, means that the support previously provided by parents may pass to siblings. Previous research into the transition from parental care has focused on people with intellectual disability, with those with cerebral palsy as a sub-group. This approach overlooks the quite specific needs of individuals with cerebral palsy, which warrant separate attention. Previous research has also treated this transition as a singular event rather than looking at it within the context of the person’s life course. Given that sibling relationships are the longest and most durable throughout a person’s life, it makes sense to view the later life relationships between individuals with cerebral palsy and their non-disabled siblings in the context of their earlier life experiences. The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between individuals with moderate to severe cerebral palsy aged 40 years and over and their non-disabled siblings in the context of the future: when parents can no longer provide care for their adult son or daughter with cerebral palsy. To address this aim a qualitative research design was adopted, with symbolic interactionism as the theoretical underpinning. Two in-depth interviews were conducted with each of 12 adults with cerebral palsy and 16 of their non-disabled siblings. The interviews took a life-course approach, asking participants to describe their childhood, emerging adulthood, and later life circumstances and sibling interactions. Constructivist grounded theory was used to analyse the data, identify the primary finding and develop a conceptual framework. Analysis of the data highlighted the diversity of sibling relationships. Nonetheless, various pathways were identified. Living together with or being separated from their non-disabled siblings in childhood affected the sibling relationship and influenced either the development of warm relationships or a feeling of separation and distance. In young adulthood, participants with cerebral palsy who shared transition milestones with their non-disabled siblings and developed personal autonomy further strengthened their sibling bond. Subsequently, in middle and older age, facing parents’ and their own ill health and mortality tended to bring siblings closer together. Taking a life-course approach to the relationship between individuals with cerebral palsy and their non-disabled siblings led to the identification of the primary finding of this study that…

▼ A question which has arisen clinically is the inability to generate adequate vertical force during the second half of the stance phase in cerebral palsy gait. Neither the mechanism nor the consequences of this inability are understood. It implies that the centre of mass (CoM) is inadequately supported with the potential for collapse of the limb in single support. Normal walking is achieved by the sophisticated control of the neuromuscular and skeletal systems with the purpose of advancing the body with minimum energy expenditure. These control systems are affected by damage to the brain in children with cerebral palsy and result in a multitude of problems which affect their gait making it difficult to determine cause and effect. This study aimed to improve the understanding of the ground reaction forces and motion of the CoM. Objectives The principle objectives were to analyse the supporting forces of the CoM during gait in normal adults, children, and children with diplegic cerebral palsy, by examining the inter-relationships of the vertical and horizontal components of the ground reaction force with the vertical component of motion and temporal parameters of the CoM. Design The study of adults and children’s data was both prospective and retrospective. The study of cerebral palsy data was retrospective. A new software programme was developed to extract specific gait parameters from both normal and cerebral palsy gait patterns. A novel approach to analyse the interaction of motion and force data in normal walking was subsequently developed. Background In normal gait, the vertical component of the ground reaction force forms a double hump where both humps are equal in magnitude and greater than body weight. It is widely accepted that the first hump (FZ1) is associated with deceleration of the downward motion of the CoM as the foot “impacts” the ground and the second hump (FZ2) is the action of “push off” as the body is propelled upwards and forwards. Walking requires force contributions from both legs but traditionally computed three-dimensional (3D) gait analysis packages presents the force data with both legs superimposed, rather than sequentially in time. This gives the impression that there is no period of overlap of the forces and thus ignores the critically important period where the CoM is transferred from one leg to the other during double support. By changing the presentation to view it sequentially in time, plus superimposing the CoM kinematics onto the same scale allowed their interactions to be observed and objectively measured. Methods The kinematic and kinetic data of 53 normal adults, 33 normal children, and 57 diplegic cerebral palsy children were acquired for the study. A new gait cycle, based on CoM motion, was defined to allow analysis of the forces in relation to CoM motion. Software was developed to extract specified parameters from the gait data. Impulse calculations over specific periods (based on the vertical motion of the CoM) allowed analysis of the vertical force contribution of each leg to…

▼ Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability in childhood. The disorders of movement and posture are characterised by abnormal patterns of movement related to defective movement coordination and regulation of muscle tone. Secondary problems that may develop include perceptions of fatigue and pain. Difficulties with body function and structure affect the levels of activity and participation of the person, such as functional independence, walking ability and participation in leisure activities. These multiple facets of functioning contribute to the known physical inactivity problem apparent in youth with cerebral palsy. In addition, these low physical activity levels contribute to further deterioration of functioning. Hence, a vicious cycle of deconditioning exists. A community-based swimming programme was proposed to combat this vicious cycle. A systematic review on the effect of an aquatic intervention on the multiple facets of functioning of youth with cerebral palsy revealed no studies that measured the effect on pain, coordination and quality of life. Moreover, none of the authors reported the perceived enjoyment of the participants during the intervention. Furthermore, there was a lack of controlled studies reporting the effect of a swimming intervention on walking ability, fatigue, functional independence, self-perception, participation in leisure activities and aquatic skills in ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy. Consequently, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of swimming on these multiple facets of functioning that are associated with the low physical activity levels, in youth with cerebral palsy. A randomised controlled cross-over design was implemented to investigate the effect of a 10-week swimming intervention on pain intensity, fatigue, walking ability, bilateral and upper limb coordination, functional independence, perceived competence, global self-worth, quality of life and swimming skills. A pre-test – post-test design was used to assess the effect of taking part in a swimming programme on participation in leisure activities. Fourteen 7 to 17 year-old youth with cerebral palsy with the ability to walk with or without walking aids completed the tests on all measurement occasions. All youth had a high adherence towards the programme, participated in the intervention with high levels of enjoyment, and most youth continued to participate in swimming after completing the programme. Moreover, no adverse events due to the programme were reported and no participants withdrew from the intervention. Swimming skills improved significantly over the 10-week swimming programme, and improved significantly more than over the control period. The changes were retained throughout a 20-week follow-up period. Positive trends of improvement were evident for walking distance at maximum walking speed, upper limb coordination, functional independence in social functioning and mobility, and perceived motor competence. The intervention was not associated with increases of pain and fatigue.…

▼ Introduction Maternal infection and inflammation leading to a fetal inflammatory response (FIR) is a risk factor for perinatal brain damage. Perinatal brain injury can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, the sine quo non outcome parameter of which is cerebral palsy (CP). Despite advances in maternal and fetal medicine, no preventive therapy exists to deter in utero inflammation and subsequent development of CP. The objectives of this thesis are to: verify a model of fetal inflammation leading to phenotypic features of CP; identify the mechanisms involved in fetal inflammation leading to this phenotype, and; determine if consumption of broccoli sprouts (BrSp) can prevent the abnormalities induced by this model of inflammation. Methods Pregnant Long-Evans rats were injected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 200 μg/kg) on embryonic days (E)19 and 20 every 12 hours. Beginning on E14, dams were randomly divided to receive BrSp dietary supplementation in addition to their regular chow, or not. Dams (and offspring) were divided into four groups: 1) Saline (control), 2) Saline + BrSp, 3) LPS, and 4) LPS + BrSp. Pups born underwent a battery of neurodevelopmental reflex and behavioural testing from postnatal day (PD)3-PD21. Placentas and fetuses were isolated on E19 and E22 to undergo cytokine and neurotrophic factor analyses. Uterine and umbilical arteries were imaged on E21 and excised on E22 to analyze blood flow and artery function. Pup’s brains were harvested on PD1, 7, and 21 to undergo histological analyses. Results LPS pups born were growth restricted and smaller compared to Saline, Saline + BrSp, and LPS + BrSp pups. LPS pups were significantly delayed in several neurodevelopmental reflexes testing including hindlimb placing, cliff avoidance, and gait. LPS + BrSp pups performances on these reflexes were not different from controls. Furthermore, LPS and LPS + BrSp pups ambulated less following open field analyses. On PD21, a reduction in myelination was observed in the LPS and LPS + BrSp groups compared to Saline and Saline + BrSp. To confirm the model elicits a FIR, placentas and fetal brains were examined for changes to cytokine expression on E19 and E22. On E19, an increase in interleukin (IL)-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 was detected in the LPS and LPS + BrSp placentas. In the fetal brain, a significant increase in pro-IL-1β was detected on E22 in the LPS group compared to Saline, Saline + BrSp and LPS + BrSp groups. On PD1, the ratio of pro-inflammatory cytokines protein levels, normalized to IL-10, was analyzed. A reduction in the TNF-α/IL-10 and IL-6/IL-10 was identified in the brains of females in both LPS and LPS+ BrSp groups. Analyses of neurotrophic factor expression, a possible downstream target of the cytokines, revealed a significant decrease in nerve growth factor mRNA production in the fetal brains at E22 in the LPS and LPS + BrSp groups. A significant reduction in 2’,3’-cyclic-nucleotide 3’-phosphodiesterase, a marker of differentiated oligodendrocytes, was observed in the white matter of PD21 LPS pups.…

▼ Complex orthopaedic surgery is often indicated in the management of deformity in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (CP) and a long rehabilitation programme is important for a successful outcome. However, the frequency and content of physiotherapy treatment following surgery varies between centres. This thesis aimed at providing a scientific basis for post-operative rehabilitation following multi-level surgery in children with CP. The effect of muscle weakness on function in patients with CP is recognised. However, the short and long-term impact of multi-level orthopaedic surgery on muscle strength is unclear. Strength changes would have implications for both surgical and conservative treatment planning. The objectives of this study were to establish a better understanding of the impact of surgery on muscle strength, gait and function, as well as the natural history of weakness in CP. Furthermore, the study aimed to clarify whether physiotherapy, focused on resistance strengthening techniques, was more effective than routine physiotherapy. The reliability of a protocol for measuring muscle strength in lower limb muscle groups in this population was firstly established. A pilot study of 10 children with a diagnosis of spastic diplegic CP and healthy counterparts demonstrated a reliable strength testing protocol. The main study of 20 diplegic children who underwent multi-level surgery showed that despite improvements in gait parameters, significant loss of strength in lower limb muscle groups and gross motor function persisted at six months. The value of intensive physiotherapy was assessed in a randomised controlled trial six months after surgery. Advantages of resistance training over active exercise were demonstrated. Assessment at one year showed that surgical patients preserved the post-physiotherapy strength and function gains but these did not reach the pre-operative values. Another group of 10 diplegic children who received routine physiotherapy but no surgical treatment for 12 months showed significant deterioration of their gait. The rate of deterioration demonstrated in conservatively treated diplegic patients and the degree of weakness caused by surgery, should inform parents and clinicians during decisions regarding surgery. Future research in multi-level surgery should include specific strength assessment protocols. The results from the randomised clinical trial showed that overall intensive strengthening regimes after multi-level surgery are beneficial. This finding would have significant implications on managing resources and designing appropriate rehabilitation programmes after multi-level orthopaedic surgery.

M.Ed.

The constitution of South Africa provides for the rights of all citizens in respect of equality of opportunities. Education is seen as the right of all learners. This is also emphasized by the National Higher Education Policy which makes provision for learners with disabilities to be educated in main stream institutions. However, little research has been done in this respect. The purpose of this study is to examine and describe my education career with specific reference to teaching and learning. The purpose of this is to deepen the knowledge and understanding of the needs of people with disabilities. In this study a narrative is written on my Higher Education career. Certain themes are highlighted. I start by describing my school career from nursery school to secondary school and then give a detailed account of my Higher Education career. The themes that I highlight are emotional support from the parental home, the attitude of the institution and personnel, social life, the emotional aspects of my Higher Education career and accessibility. I continue by discussing the problems I had in my various vocations. I then do a literary study and discuss cerebral palsy, perceptual problems and dyspraxia. Hereafter the system theory with specific reference to the family is discussed. Then I look at the literature as far as students with disabilities are concerned. I continue by discussing the personality development of people with disabilities referring to the personality theories of Erik Erikson and Viktor Frankl. A reflection on the study is done and a personal reflection is also done. The following recommendations is being made with regard to tertiary institutions. Firstly the institution should be accessible for wheelchair users. Secondly lecturers should be supportive and understanding towards students with disabilities. A social supportive system is recommended. The main finding with regard to people with cerebral palsy is that a child should be educated as far as her disability is concerned so that she can learn to cope with her disability. The learner should also be made aware of her own duty to explore her disability. Parents should also be supportive and realistic career guidance should be given to learners with disabilities. Visual perceptual problems and dyspraxia should be taken care of before the age of ten. I conclude by suggesting certain topics for further study and pointing out shortcomings of this study.

▼ Cerebral palsy is a neurodevelopmental condition that severely impedes a child?s development. Many children with this developmental disorder may have complex limitations in self-care functions which renders them completely reliant on their caregivers. This study explores the experiences of kinship caregivers of children with cerebral palsy. The study has been based on the concern that despite extensive research on the experiences of caregivers caring for children with cerebral palsy, little research has been conducted about the experiences of kinship caregivers who care for children with this developmental disorder in a Botswana context. The aim of this research has been to understand the experiences of kinship carers who care for children with cerebral palsy in Mahalapye, Botswana. The researcher had adopted a qualitative exploratory approach. Non-probability purposive sampling and volunteer sampling had been utilised to select the research participants. Qualitative data had been collected by utilising one-to-one semi-structured interviews. A total sample of 12 participants had been drawn from the pool of caregivers of children between the ages of six and twelve who have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and who reside in the Mahalapye Village. The study findings show that caring for a child with cerebral palsy exposes kinship caregivers to many challenges such as burden of care, impaired health, poverty and stigmatisation. Some of these challenges are attributed to the child?s disability while some are due to insufficient services provided to caregivers. However, acceptance of the child, religious beliefs and the supportive role played by family members enable the caregivers to adapt to life with a child diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The study concludes that challenges faced by kinship caregivers raising children with cerebral palsy in Botswana is aggravated by inadequate intervention programmes and services that could assist caregivers and disabled children, despite a firm and comprehensive national policy on care for people with disabilities. The intervention care programme should bestow more focus on recognising caregivers? challenges and removing such obstacles by providing effective services. A support programme that could ensure continuity of care will benefit caregivers by assisting them in adapting. The study suggests that programmes that have been designed to enhance identified family resilience quality, which help families to adapt following the diagnosis of cerebral palsy of a child, should be implemented.

▼ AIM The Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) is currently being developed by Hidecker and colleagues to fulfil a role in the classification of communication abilities in daily life in children with cerebral palsy (CP). The CFCS for cerebral palsy aims to enhance communication among professionals and families. The aim of this study is to translate the original -American English - version of the CFCS and to evaluate the psychometric properties the Dutch language version of the CFCS. METHOD and PARTICIPANTS Twenty two children, five in the pilot study and seventeen in the research study, in the age 4 – 10 years, diagnosed with cerebral palsy were included in this study. The parents, a teacher and a speech/physical therapist completed a survey for each child, with questions about their background, child characteristics and questions about the CFCS. Six children also got classified by two unfamiliar persons. For each child, one parent got interviewed with the PEDI-NL, social functioning domain. RESULTS The interrater reliability between two professionals raters was found to be Kappa = 0.69. Between the parent and the speech therapist/physical therapist the kappa was 0.63 and between the parent and teacher kappa was 0.48. The interrater reliability between the unfamiliar professional and the familiar professional rater was found to be Kappa 0.75. The correlation coefficient for the overall score on the domain social functioning and the CFCS-NL is r -.885. The correlation between the receptive items and the CFCS-NL r -.743 and between the expressive items and the CFCS-NL the correlation r is -.831. INTERPRETATION This research indicates that the interrater reliability of Dutch language version of CFCS (CFCS-NL) is good. The results suggest that is important to have certain knowledge about speech and language and communication development in general when using the CFCS-NL. It therefore is recommended that the classification of a child is performed by the parents together with a therapist with certain knowledge about speech and language development. The construct validity of the CFCS-NL, in this study, seems to be good. The CFCS-NL might be useful for both clinical and research applications. The classification system makes it possible to improve communication between parents, professionals and researchers about functional communication on the level of activity and participation. Further research is necessary, especially with regards to the usability in clinical practice. Another point of attention is to extend this study with more participants.

Introduction: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of disability in children. Healthcare providers aim to facilitate optimal function and participation by working with children and their families. The success of this endeavor depends on shared understanding, collaboration, and contextual factors that affect resource availability. The aim of this thesis was to understand parents’ perspectives in Indian and North American cultures towards management of CP using an ICF lens, to evaluate the extent to which this lens is evident in literature conducted in an Indian context and to evaluate a Knowledge Translation (KT) resource to inform parents and healthcare professionals (HCP). Methods: In the five thesis papers: study 1 explored parents’ perspectives towards the management of their children with CP (qualitative design); study 2 described the contextual factors shaping parents’ perspective in India (reflective design); study 3 and 4, described the research trends in the management of CP in India (scoping review); and study 5 describes the development and evaluation of a KT resource created to inform parents about incorporating the ICFconcepts into management of CP. Results: The qualitative study identified that Indian parents focus more on Body Structure and Function (BSF) challenges and have more resource limitations, as compared to the Canadian context. The scoping review identified that research also focuses on BSF, with less research addressing activity and participation, or its environmental determinants. KT resources showing the application of the ICF concepts into CP management received widespread uptake and were perceived as helpful by parents and HCP. Discussion and Conclusion: ICF was useful for understanding and informing parents and HCP about management of CP. Despite the importance of environmental considerations and contextual factors, these were insufficiently addressed in the literature and in stakeholder perspectives. To optimize CP management across contexts, further research and KT is needed.

Thesis

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in children. Parents and professionals from multiple disciplines work together to provide developmental support for children with CP. This thesis explored parents’ views about management of CP in India and Canada; assessed the scope of the scientific literature from India addressing CP; and developed and evaluated educational videos to inform parents and professionals about the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) in the management of CP. Parents’ views towards their children in both countries are influenced by the availability of resources, professional attitudes, and cultural beliefs. Research in India focuses on ‘fixing’ the child’s impairments. The videos developed to encourage parents and doctors to focus on increasing activity and participation in children, were judged to be useful in creating awareness about the…

▼ About 10% of children world-wide experience developmental disorders and require access to the health care system. These disorders also require extensive care giving, often throughout childhood and into the adult years. Cerebral palsy (CP) is one such chronic condition, and can serve as a major cause of childhood disability. It is the commonest cause of neurological impairment in childhood and is associated with functional limitations and lifelong disability. Providing the high level of care required by a child with long-term functional limitations can become burdensome and may impact on both the physical and psychological health of the care giver. To prevent problems suffered by mothers of children with CP, it is important to explore the challenges experienced. All studies conducted previously on cerebral palsy in Zambia focus on impairments and difficulties experienced by children with CP and none of the mothers’ challenges have been explored. The aim of this study therefore was to explore the challenges that mothers of children with cerebral palsy experience in Ndola, Zambia. The study was conducted at two rehabilitation centers (Twapia and Mushili) under the Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) catchment area in Ndola. A qualitative research design was employed. The mothers were stratified and purposefully selected and interviews were stopped once theoretical saturation was reached. Permission to conduct the research was obtained from relevant bodies and ethical issues were observed throughout the study. Sixteen (16) mothers of children with CP were interviewed. In-depth interviews were done using an interview guide which was designed after extensive review of literature. The interviews were audio recorded. The recorded data was transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the mothers faced many challenges which included emotional, physical health, socio-economic, environmental, misdiagnosis of the condition of their children, marital problems and lack of implementation of policies regarding children with CP by the Zambian government Advisors/Committee Members: Rhoda, Anthea (advisor).
