Demonstrate an understanding of the medical and social implications of cerebral palsy of children under the age of 6 years.
A child diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy has a series of neurological conditions that are non progressive yet static. These disorders are due to damage to, or disorder of the developmental brain. A child with cerebral palsy will exhibit disorders of movement, posture and balance that vary from child to child. (Scherzer and Tscharnuter, 1982, p 8). These disorders are catagorised into three groups of Cerebral Palsy that the child may have.
Spasticity
Spasticity is increased or decreased muscle tone in affected muscles in the body due to damage to the motor strip of the cerebral cortex. This means that certain muscles may be stiffer and tighter than others. This restricts movement.
Spasticity may result in quadriplegia, diplegia, hemiplegia and triplegia-predominately both legs and an arm. Stress to the child, degree of effort exerted, emotions, speech and high fever increases spasticity.
Children with spasticity C.P. suffer from epilepsy more than the other groups.
Athetosis
A child with athetosis exhibits constant involuntary uncontrolled movements and fluctuating muscle tone. The tone unpredictably alternates from floppy to stiff (low to high), floppy to normal or vary within a low tone range. The child is therefore unstable in posture. It usually affects the whole body. Athetoid movements increase when the child again is stressed, exert effort, when communicating orally and due to emotions.
Sometimes a child with Athetosis expresses a solemn face due to this low muscle tone.
Ataxia
A child with Ataxia C.P. lacks co ordination of movement. There is a difficulty in maintaining balance and a loss of sensing the body positioned in space. Muscles feel floppy and tone is floppy. The child generally can walk yet walks with feet wider apart than normal. The child is also described as clumsy.
