What is CP?
|
Damage/lesion to 1 or more parts of the CNS
|
|
|
Is CP progressive?
|
No, but it is permanent
|
|
|
When does CP occur?
|
prenatal, perinatal or postnatal
|
|
|
What happens in prenatal that can cause CP?
|
genetic abnomalities
maternal health factors: stress, malnutrition, drugs, hypertension |
|
|
What happens in perinatal that can cause CP?
|
complications from prematurity: resp cardiovasc problems
Multiple births Premature detachment of the placenta |
|
|
What happens in postnatal that can cause CP?
|
Infection of the child: (meningitis, encephalitis)
Alcohol/drug intoxication while breast feeding Malnutrition Trauma Anoxia |
|
|
What is posture?
|
alignment of the body's parts in relation to each other and the environment
|
|
|
What aids in maintaining posture?
|
Righting reactions
Equilibrium reactions |
|
|
What is balance reaction?
|
Righting reactions and
Equilibrium reactions working together. |
|
|
What if a person can't use balance reaction to correct their posture quickly?
|
Then protective extension reaction kicks in to protect fall.
|
|
|
How does postural stability (ability to right and balance posture)develop?
|
It develops through experimentation and experiences in a variety of combination of positions such as prone, supine, sitting, kneeling, standing.
|
|
|
What is MS tone?
|
state of continuous mild contraction in the MS
|
|
|
What determines MS tone?
|
gravity: Must be able to move through it
emotions and mental state: level of alterness, fatigue & excitement |
|
|
What are common motor development problems in CP?
|
-Abnormal MS tone
-Primitive Reflex -Poor Bal Reactions -Body awareness/body scheme due to inaccurate sensory info -Joint hypermobility -MS weakness -Decreased exploration |
|
|
What are the classification CP?
|
Lesion in the MOtor Cortex
Lesion in the Basal Ganglia |
|
|
What does MOTOR CORTEX lesions cause?
|
Spasticity (hypertonicity): during, middle or end of mvmnt excessive ms tone builds up and then rapidly releases
|
|
|
What does BASAL GANGLIA lesions cause?
|
ATHETOSIS: fluctuating tone (rapid shifts from normal or hypertonic to low or hypotonic) Mvmts are unsteady; person appears to be swiping or writhing
ATAXIA: Less common and shifts are at lesser degree. MOre control but appear clumsy |
|
|
What is CP distribution?
|
the body parts that are the most affected by the movement control problems
|
|
|
What are the distributions?
|
Quadiplegia: all 4 extremities
Diplegia: lower half hemiplegia: one side of body |
|
|
What deformaties can arise from poor posture?
|
MS contractures
Bone deformities Joint dislocation/misalignment |
|
|
What health problems/impairments can arise from body part deformities?
|
arthrities
skin breakdown (unable to move) cardiac and resp functions (fatigue results thus, further decrease in activity) |
