▼ 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,…

▼ Introduction
Scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity in children with cerebral palsy. Previous published studies have been based on institutionalised patients and not on a total population of individuals with cerebral palsy.
Methods
This study was based on both prospective and retrospective cross-section analysis of 292 children identified from the Victorian Cerebral Palsy Register. These children were spread across GMFCS levels I–V. The children were assessed during their transition clinic appointment prior to exit from the Royal Children’s Hospital. The research looked at three main sections: clinical review for scoliosis, radiographic assessment of scoliosis, and CHQ and CPCHILD questionnaires survey. Cobb angles were measured by two experienced observers.
Results
If a Cobb angle of more than 10° was used, then 40% of patients were classified with scoliosis. By changing the definition of scoliosis in cerebral palsy to a Cobb angle greater than 40°, the prevalence of “clinically important scoliosis” was 12.7%. The majority of the severe curves occurred in children at GMFCS levels IV and V. As the GMFCS level increased, the mean Cobb angle increased. The mean score for the questionnaires decreased as the GMFCS level increased.
Conclusion
The CP scoliosis and the scores for the questionnaire were closely related to the GMFCS levels. The prevalence of CP scoliosis is overestimated in other studies. Our study shows the prevalence of CP scoliosis is 12.7% using a Cobb angle of more than 40°. Non-ambulant children are at high risk of developing scoliosis and formal spine surveillance should be considered.

▼ Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often have one or more comorbid medical conditions including cerebral palsy (CP). Due to the overlaps between ASD and CP symptomatology (e.g., impairments in speech, repetitive movements, atypical sensory issues), co-occurring CP often leads to delayed diagnoses of ASD interfering with early interventions and subsequently affecting functional outcome. Utilizing the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits-Part 1 (BISCUIT-Part 1) and the Battelle Developmental Inventory, Second Edition (BDI-2), this study assessed and compared ASD symptomatology and developmental functioning in three groups of infants and toddlers, namely, those with ASD only, those with CP only, and those with comorbid ASD and CP. Results of the current study revealed significant group differences were found in both BISCUIT-Part 1 and BDI-2 total scores. Significant differences were also found in all BISCUIT-Part 1 domains and BDI-2 personal-social and motor domains. Interpretation and implication of the study findings are discussed.

▼ Introduction: Cerebral Palsy (CP) describes a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing foetal or infant brain. Parents/Caregivers of cerebral palsy children are faced with challenges that needs that needs to be addressed. Cerebral palsy is a major cause of disability and most survivors are left with residual disability and are dependent on others for essential care.
Objective: The main objective of the study was to determine challenges parents and caregivers of children with cerebral palsy face at University Teaching Hospital, Community Based Intervention Association center, Lusaka, Zambia.Methodology: This study was a quantitative method using a cross-sectional descriptive survey. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire and data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study had 30 participants who were selected randomly.Results and conclusion: The results of the study showed that the majority 66.7% of parents indicated that they stay far from the hospital this made them not to be consistent with the child's treatment. Among the reasons given for non-consistence was lack of transport money, lack of support from family members in terms of bringing the child for treatment, not satisfied with the treatment given at the hospital, non- improvement of the child's condition and travelling distance to come to the hospital.Recommendations: It is important that rehabilitation professionals are aware of the challenges faced by these caregivers so that their needs could also be addressed when managing the cerebral palsy patient and government should consider putting in place strategies/ measures to provide rehabilitation support to these children and their caregivers to reduce the disability burden.

▼ A Rehabilitation centre for children with
cerebral
palsy is the proposed project undertaken in this dissertation. This
theme was chosen after the author had been involved with New Hope
School in fundraising projects for the past 3 years. The author
recognized the need of a dedicated rehabilitation facility for
children with
cerebral palsy as well as better accommodation for
rehabilitation purposes. Spending time with
cerebral palsied
children, the need for basic education becomes evident. Over
protectiveness from parents could prevent these children from
sensory experiences, which can only be evolved through touching,
smelling, seeing hearing and tasting. This early childhood
experience of sensory development usually involves play. Play is
the ultimate form of exploration for any child and when disabled,
free play is usually non-associative with everyday activities.
Without free play, children will have a handicap in natural
development of social, mental, physical and sensory skills. Through
harmless play, even a lion cub learns to become a hunter. The aim
of this project would be to create a center where play would be
used to rehabilitate children with
cerebral palsy. New Hope School
is situated in the Menlopark area, Pretoria. The proposed site for
the rehabilitation centre would be consolidated to the north
western corner of the existing school grounds and thus engaging
this project as an addition to the existing New Hope School. The
architecture used, should be of simplistic nature which merges the
interiors of the building with nature. By achieving this, the
children would get a basic form of sensory development while
rehabilitating in the building. Copyright

▼ 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.

▼ Background:
Cerebral palsy is the most common type
of childhood neurological and developmental disability (Dababneh,
2013; Rosenbaum et al., 2006; Shikako-Thomas et al., 2009; Waters
et al., 2005). It is estimated that a total of 2 to 2.5 of every
1000 live births are of children who have CP (Rosenbaum, 2003;
Schiariti et al., 20014), resulting in a considerable number of
parents and families who are raising a child with CP (Reid et al.,
2011). The review of the literature identified that globally
mothers were most often the primary caregivers of these children
and as a result they experienced several physical, social and
emotional challenges. It was also identified that culture played an
important role in shaping mothers' experiences. However, there is
an absence of qualitative studies that explore the experiences of
mothers caring for children with CP in Arabic countries in general
and none in Oman in particular. Aim: The aim of this study was to
develop a theory that explains the experience of mothering a child
with CP in the Omani culture. Methodology: Charmaz's (2014)
approach to grounded theory research informed sampling, data
collection and the analysis process. The study was conducted in the
two largest governorates in Oman (Muscat and North Batinah). 23
Omani mothers caring for children (5 to 18 years) diagnosed with CP
were recruited through purposive and theoretical sampling from a
hospital and five community-based rehabilitation centres.
Semi-structured interviews including 23 face-to-face interviews and
six follow-up telephone interviews were used for data collection.
Findings: The findings of the study suggest that the beliefs of
Islam and the Omani culture influenced the mothers' daily
experiences in caring for their children with CP. "Being a patient
(sabir) mother" is the theory that was developed from the data and
explains the mothers’ perceptions and beliefs about being a
mother of a child with CP and their actions and roles in caring for
their child with CP. This theory links the two subcategories:
"patience (sabr) as faith" and "practising patience (sabr)".
"Patience (sabr) as faith" presents the mothers' religious beliefs
and how these beliefs encouraged them to accept with patience
(sabr) being a mother of a child with CP. "Practising patience
(sabr)" explains how the mothers were patient (sabir) in performing
their actions and roles in caring for their children with CP.
Discussion: The study revealed a unique cultural experience of
caring for a child with CP for mothers. Religious beliefs and
social values appeared to play an important role in the mothers'
experiences of caring for their child with CP. Islamic religious
beliefs were a major source of emotional support that transformed
the mothers' experiences of caring for a child with CP from one of
hardship to one of value. In addition, the Omani culture was an
important source of support that resulted in the mothers appearing
to have a more positive experience of caring for a child with CP
when compared to the literature describing the…

▼ The study explored the experiences of young adults
who have a sibling with cerebral palsy living in Nairobi, Kenya in
order to establish how they made sense out of the experience of
growing up with a sibling with CP. The study used a qualitative
approach with an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA)
whereby six participants all young adults aged between eighteen and
twenty four years, were interviewed using semi-structured
interviews. Data analysis was undertaken according to IPA
guidelines. The findings generated four super ordinate themes
namely: increased sense of reward, emotional impact, family
relationships and public relations. The findings revealed that
there was a direct impact on sense of psychological well-being both
negatively and positively. On one hand, the young adults
experienced feelings of stigma, fear about the future, anger and a
sense of responsibility. While on the other hand they experienced
personal growth in terms of a sense of personal development and
some concrete rewards. In conclusion, the study demonstrated the
potential for personal development in the group studied and made a
contribution to understanding the disabling impact of society on
the lives of sibling due to disability by
association.

▼ 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…

▼ This study utilized an electronic survey to focus on the common practices of pediatric dentists towards recommending mouthguards to healthy patients and patients with
cerebral palsy (CP). There was a response rate of 15.8%, and 188 surveys were analyzed.
The subjects who responded were evenly distributed between male and female, in group or solo private practice, and from the Midwest, Southwest, and Pacific Coast. The majority of our subjects prescribed more mouthguards to healthy patients than patients with CP, regardless of the percentage of patients with CP in their practice.
The main indications for recommending mouthguards for both healthy patients and patients with CP were history of trauma, excessive overjet, and bruxism. However, the subjects were more likely to select those as indications for healthy patients over patients with CP. They also recommend custom mouthguards over stock mouthguards.
The main barriers in recommending mouthguards for healthy patients and patients with CP were patient compliance and patient tolerability. Subjects selected those barriers more often for patients with CP than healthy patients. They also felt that difficulty taking an impression was a major barrier towards recommending mouthguards to patients with CP. Interestingly, 78% of the practitioners felt that mouthguards would benefit patients with CP, but only 20% have recommended one to patients with CP.
The subjects recommend mouthguards mainly for patients who participate in basketball, soccer, football, hockey, and softball. However, they recommend mouthguards for healthy patients who participate in sports more than patients with CP who participate in sports.

▼ 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.

▼ Inngangur: Cerebral Palsy (CP) er regnhlífarhugtak yfir skaða eða áfall sem verður í heila sem veldur frávikum og seinkun á hreyfiþroska ásamt öðrum fylgiröskunum. Orsök CP eru áverki eða byggingargalli á óþroskuðum heila og er varanlegt ástand, versnar ekki en getur breyst. Breytilegt er á milli einstaklinga hvernig birtingarmynd hreyfihömlunarinnar kemur fram. Auk þeirra einkenna sem geta fylgt hreyfiskerðingunni eru ýmsar afleiddar skerðingar sem geta haft áhrif á líf einstaklinganna. Verkir eru ein af þeim afleiddu skerðingum og einstaklingar með hreyfihamlanir líkt og CP eru í áhættuhópi fyrir því að upplifa slíka verki. Verkir geta haft margvísleg áhrif á líf einstaklinga og sökum þess er mikilvægt að rannsaka þá betur, ekki aðeins til að skilja betur upplifun viðkomandi heldur einnig til að geta mótað viðeigandi meðferð sem og aukið gildi fyrirbyggjandi þátta.
Markmið: Að kanna algengi verkja hjá þátttakendum í CP eftirfylgni á Íslandi (CPEF). Skoðuð voru tengsl milli verkja og aldurs, kyns og grófhreyfifærniflokkunar og ennfremur áhrif verkja á daglegt líf einstaklinga. Rannsakað var hvort verkjamynstur væri háð þessum breytum og hvað einkennir þann hóp sem upplifir verki. Einnig var rýnt í tjáskiptaleiðir þátttakenda með tilliti til CFCS dreifingar þýðis.
Aðferðafræði: Notast var við gögn úr CPEF sem hýst eru í sænska gagnagrunninum CPUP. Verkjaskema CPEF er notað til að skoða og meta verki hjá þátttakendum ásamt fleiri breytum sem skoðaðar eru í eftirfylgninni og notaðar í þessari rannsókn; aldur, kyn, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) og Communication Function Classification System (CFCS).
Niðurstöður: Alls skráðu 65,7% (n = 92) þátttakenda í CPEF verki. Konur upplifðu hlutfallslega meiri verki en karlar (p = 0.045). Þátttakendur í GMFCS IV voru marktækt oftar með skráða verki samanborið við einstaklinga í GMFCS I (p = 0.044). Aðhvarfsgreining (e. logistic regression) sýndi marktækan mun á verkjaskráningu hjá einstaklingum á aldursbilinu 0-10 ára samanborið við 18-39 ára (p = 0.036) og 40+ (p = 0.036). Veik en marktæk, jákvæð fylgni var á milli GMFCS flokkunar og magaverkja (rs = 0.285; p = <.001). Veik, en tölfræðilega marktæk neikvæð fylgni fannst á milli GMFCS flokkunar og verkja í fótum og/eða fótleggjum (rs = -0.189; p = 0.026). Veik, jákvæð fylgni fannst á milli aldurs og verkja í mjöðmum og/eða lærum (rs = 0.275; p = 0.001) öxlum (rs= 0.188; p = 0.026) og hnjám (rs=0.194; p = 0.022). Af þeim sem skráðu verki, svöruðu 23 (25%) einstaklingar því játandi að verkir hefðu neikvæð áhrif á þeirra daglegu venjur/athafnir (ADL) og 40 (43,5%) einstaklingar tjáðu að verkir hefðu neikvæð áhrif á svefn þeirra.
Ályktanir: Með því að rýna í niðurstöður sést hvernig dreifing og þróun verkja er hjá þátttakendum CPEF á Íslandi. Niðurstöður rannsóknarinnar veita innsýn inn í algengi verkja hjá íslensku fólki með CP, hvaða verkjasvæði eru algengust og áhrif aldurs, kyns og grófhreyfifærni á umfang verkja. Þannig geta fagaðilar verið á varðbergi sérstaklega hjá þeim hópi sem er líklegri til að…

▼ BACKGROUND AND AIMS: This thesis reports an exploration of the epidemiology of cerebral palsy in Victoria and a comparison of Victorian data with data from other populations. Each of six broad aims related to a particular area of investigation and thesis chapter. The aims were to describe 1) the frequency of cerebral palsy in Victoria, 2) overall temporal trends and by gestational age group, 3) clinical characteristics, including motor type, topographical pattern, and motor severity, 4) accompanying disorders and impairments, 5) neuroimaging patterns and their relationship to perinatal variables and clinical characteristics, and 6) survival.
METHODS: The Victorian Cerebral Palsy Register was used to extract data on individuals born in Victoria with non-postneonatally acquired cerebral palsy based on specific criteria for each chapter. A systematic review of the literature was also undertaken to enable comparison of classification, definitions, and epidemiological data with the Victorian data.
RESULTS: The decade-specific prevalence of cerebral palsy in Victoria was 1.6 per 1000 live births for the 1980s, 1.8 for the 1990s and 1.7 for 2000-2004. In comparison, the range of prevalence estimates from 33 surveillance systems was 1.8-4.0 per 1000 for 1990s birth cohorts and 1.2-3.0 per 1000 for 1980s cohorts; no methodological or population factors explained the wide variability. The rate of cerebral palsy in Victoria increased during the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly for extremely preterm infants, but also for infants born at term. The data suggest a reversal of this trend from the mid-1990s for both term and extremely preterm infants, a finding observed in other populations. In general, the proportion of cerebral palsy cases with each motor type, topographical pattern, motor severity level, and associated impairment varied widely between surveillance systems, and there was a lack of consensus on definitions and classifications. Victorian data showed a relative increase in mild motor impairment between 1970 and 2003 and an increase in the proportion of cerebral palsy cases with spastic hemiplegia and diplegia relative to spastic quadriplegia; however, no improvement in survival was seen, even for the most severely affected. The most common imaging finding was periventricular white matter injury (PWMI), a pattern associated with spastic diplegia and hemiplegia, and mild-moderate motor impairment. While PWMI was the primary pattern in children born preterm, it was also common in children born at term. Grey matter injuries and malformations were predominantly associated with term birth, and bilateral brain injuries were associated with poor gross motor function. The majority of focal vascular insults and unilateral malformations resulted in spastic hemiplegia.
CONCLUSIONS: Through a series of systematic reviews, this thesis has contributed to a better understanding of issues relating…

▼ A 19-month old male with
cerebral palsy and left hemiparesis was seen for physical therapy treatment for 15 sessions and one home visit over 8 weeks at an outpatient physical therapy program held at a university. Treatment was provided by a student physical therapist under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist.
The child was evaluated at the initial encounter with Range of Motion, Modified Ashworth Scale, Gross Motor Function Measure, Gross Motor Function Classification System, 10 Meter Walk Test, Peabody Developmental Motor Scales and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory for Caregiver Assistance and a plan of care was established. Main goals for the child were to improve strength of left extremities, gait speed and walking independence, static and dynamic balance, gross motor function and decrease caregiver burden. Main interventions used were over-ground body weight supported gait training on a track system, strengthening exercises, balance training, creeping/quadruped training, and goal-directed functional training and family education.
The child improved strength, gait speed and independence, balance, and gross motor function. The child was discharged to remain living at home with his family with a home exercise program and continued physical therapy services

▼ Background: Cerebral palsy is the most common type of childhood neurological and developmental disability (Dababneh, 2013; Rosenbaum et al., 2006; Shikako-Thomas et al., 2009; Waters et al., 2005). It is estimated that a total of 2 to 2.5 of every 1000 live births are of children who have CP (Rosenbaum, 2003; Schiariti et al., 20014), resulting in a considerable number of parents and families who are raising a child with CP (Reid et al., 2011). The review of the literature identified that globally mothers were most often the primary caregivers of these children and as a result they experienced several physical, social and emotional challenges. It was also identified that culture played an important role in shaping mothers' experiences. However, there is an absence of qualitative studies that explore the experiences of mothers caring for children with CP in Arabic countries in general and none in Oman in particular. Aim: The aim of this study was to develop a theory that explains the experience of mothering a child with CP in the Omani culture. Methodology: Charmaz's (2014) approach to grounded theory research informed sampling, data collection and the analysis process. The study was conducted in the two largest governorates in Oman (Muscat and North Batinah). 23 Omani mothers caring for children (5 to 18 years) diagnosed with CP were recruited through purposive and theoretical sampling from a hospital and five community-based rehabilitation centres. Semi-structured interviews including 23 face-to-face interviews and six follow-up telephone interviews were used for data collection. Findings: The findings of the study suggest that the beliefs of Islam and the Omani culture influenced the mothers' daily experiences in caring for their children with CP. "Being a patient (sabir) mother" is the theory that was developed from the data and explains the mothers' perceptions and beliefs about being a mother of a child with CP and their actions and roles in caring for their child with CP. This theory links the two subcategories: "patience (sabr) as faith" and "practising patience (sabr)". "Patience (sabr) as faith" presents the mothers' religious beliefs and how these beliefs encouraged them to accept with patience (sabr) being a mother of a child with CP. "Practising patience (sabr)" explains how the mothers were patient (sabir) in performing their actions and roles in caring for their children with CP. Discussion: The study revealed a unique cultural experience of caring for a child with CP for mothers. Religious beliefs and social values appeared to play an important role in the mothers' experiences of caring for their child with CP. Islamic religious beliefs were a major source of emotional support that transformed the mothers' experiences of caring for a child with CP from one of hardship to one of value. In addition, the Omani culture was an important source of support that resulted in the mothers appearing to have a more positive experience of caring for a child with CP when compared to the literature describing the…

▼ 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 reciprocity…

▼ Children with CP have a lower motivation level of participation than typical developing children. This capstone study project focused on developing a method for introducing appropriate challenge tasks within dance/movement therapy (DMT) groups for children with cerebral palsy (CP). The challenge tasks were designed to motivate the participants' behavioral, emotional, social, and cognitive engagement in DMT. Challenge task in this project was defined as an activity in which children are required to use more effort to solve a problem, or were supported in choosing to engage outside their normal comfort zones, to take risks that might expand their range of experience, as well as their psychosocial and physical resources. In this project, challenge tasks were offered in DMT groups at HMS School for Children with Cerebral Palsy in Philadelphia. Three DMT groups were involved. The four challenge tasks developed in this project were a ball targeting tasks, a ball balancing task, a traveling and targeting task, and a prop passing task. The challenge tasks appeared to have effects on motivating children with CP to engage in activities designed to promote body awareness, motor ability, group cooperation, and cognition. In addition, the challenge tasks may have helped the participants to cope with grief by increasing their sense of control. This capstone project resulted in guidelines to support dance/movement therapists in developing and implementing challenge tasks in their clinical practices.

▼ Teachers in special education face a lot of challenges when teaching children
with cerebral palsy. Education and training programmes for children with cerebral
palsy have recently been a focus of attention for government, organizations,
schools and institutions in Zambia. It has been observed that the existing education
and training facilities seem to promote a wide range of discrimination against
persons with disabilities especially those with cerebral palsy.The study analyses three schools for the disabled. The purpose of the study was to determine the challenges that teachers face when teaching children with cerebral palsy and whether children with cerebral palsy could be taught in the mainstream or in special units. Thirty teachers and twenty pupils with children with cerebral palsy were involved in the study.The study was intended to identify the challenges which teachers faced when teaching children with cerebral palsy and to determine whether these children should be taught in the mainstream or in special education units, and recommend appropriate interventions and strategies which teachers could use when teaching children with cerebral palsy.
Results from the analysis indicate that some children with cerebral palsy could
manage to lead near-normal lives but others need constant care. The teachers of
children with cerebral palsy expressed the view that a child with cerebral palsy had
difficulty with posture and movement which was because of problems in the area
of the brain, which control movement. That could either be the result of brain
damage or a section that had not developed properly.The study revealed that teachers faced a lot of challenges because there were many different types of cerebral palsy. In fact no two children with cerebral palsy were precisely alike. Some were lightly affected that they had little more than a slight weakness or limp, while others could have difficulties crawling, walking, sitting,talking, feeding or using hands. The most challenging case was that teachers were not adequately trained and the government did not do anything to motivate the teachers for them to continue working hard. There was no Special Education
allowance. However these considered to be main findings;(i) Some children with cerebral palsy could manage to lead near-normal lives, but others needed constant care,(ii) Teachers expressed the view that a child with cerebral palsy had difficulty
with posture and movement because of problems in the area of the brain,
which controls movement. That could either be the result of brain damage or

Thus, the objectives of this study are: Production of an informational document on Paralympic Sports Classification, as well as basics about the classes of Para Athletics; Propose an evidence-based motor performance profile, from classes T35 to T38 of Para Athletics; Investigate possible differences in height of six types of vertical jumps between classes T35 to T38 of Para Athletics; Verify reproducibility and identify differences in tests used for the variables of reaction time, contact time, flight time and stride amplitude. Forty-one athletes participated in the study, thirty-five with
cerebral palsy (T35 = 6; T36 = 10; T37 = 12; T38 = 7) and 6 athletes without disabilities. The athletes were evaluated using the OptoJump Next equipment. The tests applied were vertical jumps, 6-meter walk, 6-meter run, reaction time and Skipping of 5 seconds. From the documents prepared for this thesis, it is expected to provide knowledge about the development of the Paralympic Sports Classification. In addition, encouraging further studies for the improvement of evidence-based Paralympic Sports Classification systems making Paralympic sport as egalitarian as possible. We also present an evidence-based motor performance profile, from classes T35 to T38 of Para Athletics, indicating that vertical jump tests, 6-meter walk, 6-meter run, reaction time and Skipping of 5 seconds should be used as an objective tool for Evidence-Based Classification of Athletics, provided that, associated with reliable devices that present high reproducibility as verified by article 2. Thus, it can assist the international classifiers of For Athletics in the decision-making regarding the eligibility of
cerebral palsy athletes

▼ Young people with disabilities face a time of great stress as they move from child to adult care, which profoundly impacts them and their families. They 'transition' from very high and cohering levels of care, until they reach a point, determined by age, when they are receiving low levels of far less cohesive care. Further, the propensity shown by the Scottish Government to devolve down the responsibility for service and local policy delivery, can lead to unforeseen consequences resulting in variation in experiences. Does this devolution of responsibility, to local bodies and service users, produce a valuable personalisation of delivery or a worrying 'postcode lottery'? I draw on policy concepts to examine these two expectations:- 'street level bureaucracy' and the 'personalisation' agenda highlight the potential for discretion, learning and transfer, and accountability theory, highlight the potential to cooperate or conform to the same basic standards. I examine the case of young disabled people in Scotland moving from child orientated to adult care to show, through semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis, that there is some cooperation between various professions, but they make sense of policy from different perspectives. I found that, while broad parameters set by the Scottish Government were adhered to, council and health board protocols often varied, meaning that, in some cases, a house address number dictates the level of service delivered. The research is particularly important and timely in that it focuses on Scotland, is cross-professional in focus, has profound social implications and contributes to knowledge in placing 'transition' in the context of public policy theory. It confirms the importance of street level bureaucracy in a new context but, unexpectedly, I found that professionals would welcome increased accountability and outcome measurement.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Epidemiology 2019.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common childhood motor disability worldwide. Two large, prospective pregnancy cohorts, the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) and the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort (MoBa), have been harmonized to create The MOthers and BAbies of Norway and Denmark- Cerebral Palsy Study (MOBAND-CP), which has facilitated novel research on prenatal risk factors for CP. Nevertheless, prenatal nutrition is an area of CP research that is still largely untouched and is also suited for analysis using MOBAND-CP data.Using a sample of singleton children born at 35 weeks gestation or later (i.e., term or near-term), the primary aim of this research is to evaluate the association between prenatal consumption of two poly-unsaturated fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (ARA), and the risk of CP in term- or near-term children. Secondary aims are to: (a) calculate the ratio of DHA to ARA, (b) evaluate the association between the DHA to ARA ratio and CP, (c) estimate the risk of CP for children whose mothers reported an infection during pregnancy and (d) explore the effect modification of the association between infection and CP by docosahexaenoic quartile.We calculated the prevalence of CP for children born at or near-term by exposure to assess the suitability of combining the source cohorts' data for models. To estimate risk of CP, we used multiple imputation to retain observations missing covariate and infection data. We generated log-binomial models to estimate the risk of CP by exposure.Term- and near-term children with DHA exposure in the second quartile had a 1.85-fold increased risk of CP compared to children whose DHA exposure was in the first quartile. The risk of CP for children in the third and fourth quartile of DHA exposure was similar to the risk for children exposed in the first quartile. Risk of CP by ARA quartile differed between the two cohorts that comprise MOBAND-CP. For term- and near-term children from the Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC), the risk of CP decreased as ARA quartile increased. In the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort (MoBa), the risk of CP increased as ARA quartile increased. The ratio of DHA to ARA also differed by cohort. In the DNBC, the risk of CP increased as the ratio quartile increased. In the MoBa, the risk of CP decreased as ratio quartile increased.Risk of CP was similar for term- and near-term children whose mothers did and did not report an infection during pregnancy. The results of the effect modification analysis demonstrated that within children with prenatal DHA exposure in the third quartile, the risk of CP was 1.92 times higher for those whose mothers reported a prenatal infection compared to children whose mothers did not.Exposure to DHA in utero affects a child's risk of CP, and it may modify the relationship between infection and CP. The association between ARA and CP remains unclear, as does the association between the DHA to ARA ratio and CP. DHA intake in the…

▼ Objective
This paper describes a follow up study of comprehension of spoken language in children with severe
cerebral palsy (CP). The research questions were 1) Does level of spoken language comprehension develop over the years in children with severe CP and is the C-BiLLT is able to detect changes in level of comprehension of spoken language in children with CP after two years? 2) Which factors influence the development of comprehension of spoken language in children with severe CP?
Methods
To measure level of spoken language comprehension, two assessments of the Computer Based Instrument for Low Motor Testing (C-BiLLT) were performed with an interval of two years in 26 children with severe CP (mean age 84 months, age range 19 months to 181 months, 11 spastic CP, 15 dyskinetic CP). To acquire information about factors that could have influenced the level of spoken language comprehension, a survey was distributed to both parents and speech and language therapists of the participants. A regression analysis is used to answer the research question.
Results
The results are Age Group (t = 1,001, sig. 328 ), Type of CP (t = 1,306, sig. ,206), Comprehension Aim (-,601, sig. ,555) Communication Device (t= 1,135, sig ,269). Although the results were not significant, the type of CP explained most of the variance, along with the use of a speech generating communication device and the age of the participants. Whether or not the aim of the speech and language therapy was to improve the comprehension of spoken language explained the least of the variance. Implications of this study and recommendations for further research are discussed.

▼ 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.

▼ Cerebral Palsy (CP) constitutes the primary outcome of
premature nerve injury. Impairment of oxygen and glucose supply
during pregnancy to the fetus can induce neuron damage and death.
Mental retardation, seizures, learning disabilities, and other
mental diseases can occur as a result of this insufficient nutrient
delivery to the fetus. Therapeutic interventions that are
efficacious for the injured newborn are limited mainly because the
majority of insults (90%) resulting in CP occur during pregnancy
and current therapies only address those injuries that occur during
labor and delivery or after birth, therefore addressing only 10% of
the injured newborns. This investigation was aimed to determine
neuroprotective effects of sulforaphane. Sulforaphane is an
isothiocyanate found in vegetables such as broccoli sprouts,
Brussels sprouts, and cabbage that have anti-inflammatory,
anti-oxidant, anti-apoptotic effects. Neurons and astrocyte cell
death was decreased with sulforaphane treatment during
oxygen-glucose deprivation. Cell death was analyzed through trypan
blue viability assay, lactate dehydrogenase assay,
3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay,
DNA quantification, and FAM-DEVD-FMK caspase 3 and 7 inhibitor
immunofluorescence quantification. This study demonstrates
neuroprotective effects of sulforaphane for neurons and astrocytes
and its potential as a preventative treatment for pregnant
mothers.

▼ 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.…

▼ The aim of this research is to explore innovative methods to support the early detection of neuromuscular disorders like
cerebral palsy in preverbal infants, which is crucial for early intervention treatments of at risk infants. This research focuses on the use of a goal and reward based mechanism to elicit kicking movements from infants between
the ages of 2 to 4 months old. The intention is to encourage kicking in preverbal infants by enriching their natural environments through the modification of toys that infants are
already accustomed to. In this way, different stimuli can be introduced into the infant’s environment and their effect on infant behavior and motion can be studied without introducing unfamiliar objects to the infant environment.
This research consists of a two stage effort. The first part of the research is concerned with the design of a modified crib mobile to introduce different stimuli into the infant’s environment. This stage is primarily concerned with the physical, electrical and software design of the crib mobile and the control device. The design of the crib mobile also requires a detailed investigation into selection of stimuli able to optimally evoke infant kicking movements. In our research, we utilize, music, motion and lights (henceforth referred as audio, movement and visual stimuli respectively) - all three stimulus are normally found in infant toys, to encourage kicking by infants. The second part of this research investigates the effects of these stimuli on infant kicking. We introduce these stimuli individually i.e. each infant is only exposed to one stimulus. We then use videos recorded of infant activity in the presence of the stimulus and in absence (control) to determine if there is a significant increase in infant activity measured on three metrics of infant kicking kinematics namely the frequency of kicking activity, the frequency of bilateral vs. unilateral kicking and the maximum and average duration of continuous kicking by the infant in the test groups exposed to the different stimuli.

▼ 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…

▼ 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.
