The improvement of oral health and quality of life is closely related to transdisciplinary dialogue, technological development and social responsibility. In patients with cerebral palsy, the lesion of motor areas of the brain compromises the development and function of the craniofacial complex. Considering all the ethiopathogenic conditions, the treatment of such patients involves great difficulties. The dentist and other professionals related to their rehabilitation need to deal with difficulty in chewing, respiration, phonation, besides the poor oral hygiene resulted from abnormal involuntary movements of facial and masticatory musculature, tongue, and upper limb. It is also relevant the lack of understanding about the importance of oral health care due to mental deficits of these individuals. This study aims to review some aspects of oral health in patients with cerebral palsy proposing rehabilitation associated to technology. Few studies concerned about the effectiveness of therapies for oral rehabilitation in patients with cerebral palsy. Laser therapy, electromyography, electrostimulation and LED therapy should be analyzed as options for treatment of patients with cerebral palsy. Following research projects should focus more attention on the dynamic and oral function of these patients to achieve positive repercussions in their overall health. © ArquiMed, 2010.

Os serviços de saúde desenvolvidos dentro de uma escola especial são de fundamental importância para o suporte e desenrolar das atividades focadas à criança com distúrbio motor. A ação ao intervir se dá sob peculiares e diversificados aspectos, proporcionando o suporte necessário para o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor e pedagógico da criança com deficiência motora e/ou associadas. Este estudo discute a percepção das famílias de crianças com diagnóstico de Paralisia Cerebral frente ao processo de reabilitação contínua, pelo qual uma criança especial perpassa durante toda sua vida. A partir de uma articulação entre diferentes abordagens teóricas, dados obtidos com a análise de prontuários da entidade e em um estudo de campo com familiares ou responsáveis pela criança. O estudo de campo foi realizado em uma escola de educação especial também conhecida por ANPR Associação Norte Paranaense de Reabilitação, que presta atendimento a crianças com distúrbios motores, utilizando-se uma abordagem metodológica qualitativo-quantitativa. No curso da pesquisa, foram realizadas 25 entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os familiares de crianças cujo diagnóstico era Paralisia Cerebral. Todas as famílias a serem contatadas foram resselecionadas a partir de uma triagem pelo setor de psicologia, para garantia de que a mesma não estivesse vivenciando nenhum momento de abalo ou instabilidade emocional. Os resultados apontam para uma evidente segurança das famílias quanto à equipe Multidisciplinar, com ênfase à fisioterapia, e ao processo de reabilitação proposto dentro da ANPR e vinculados ao SUS, em detrimento aos atendimentos e serviços públicos das Unidades de Saúde externas à escola.

Introdução: A dificuldade na organização dos ajustes posturais antecipatórios (APAs) é frequentemente associada ao défice de controlo postural (CP) em crianças/jovens com um quadro motor de hemiplegia espástica, resultante de paralisia cerebral. As alterações biomecânicas da tibiotársica e do pé são características comummente observadas nestas crianças/jovens e influenciam o CP na sua globalidade. Objectivo(s): descrever o comportamento dos APAs associados ao início da marcha, face à modificação do alinhamento do pé em crianças/jovens com hemiplegia espástica, após 12 semanas de intervenção, segundo o Conceito Bobath-TND e aplicação de uma Ligadura Funcional (LF). Métodos: Foram avaliadas quatro crianças/jovens num momento inicial (M0) e após 12 semanas de intervenção e de aplicação de uma LF (M1). Recorrendo à eletromiografia de superfície, registaram-se os timings de activação dos músculos tibial anterior, solear, recto abdominal e erector da espinha (bilateralmente). O início do movimento foi calculado a partir da alteração do sinal obtido através da plataforma de pressões. Recorreu-se à aplicação da TMFM-88 para avaliar a função motora global e à aplicação da CIF-CJ para classificar a funcionalidade mediante as actividades e a participação. Procedeu-se ao registo de imagem para facilitar a observação/avaliação das componentes de movimento das crianças/jovens em estudo. Resultados: Após o período de intervenção, verificou-se uma modificação nos valores dos timings de ativação dos músculos em análise, que se aproximaram da janela temporal definida como APAs, bem como na distribuição de carga na base de suporte, nos scores da TMFM-88 e nos qualificadores das “Actividades e Participação”, sugestivos de uma melhor organização dos mecanismos de controlo postural. Conclusão: As crianças/jovens em estudo evidenciaram, após uma intervenção de fisioterapia baseada no Conceito Bobath- TND e aplicação de uma LF, uma evolução favorável tanto ao nível do CP da tibiotársica e do pé, apresentando timings de ativação muscular temporalmente mais ajustados à tarefa, com repercussões positivas nas actividades e participação.

Individuals with spastic cerebral palsy show muscle weakness, difficulties in the control of agonist and antagonist muscles, decreased range of motion and tonus and sensibility alterations, especially in knee joint. These problems can interfere on the performance of functional activities such gait. The aim of this study was to analyze the contribution of knee range of motion on gait of hemiplegic and diplegic children considering their asymmetries. Twelve children, 6 hemiplegics e 6 diplegics from 7 to 12 years of age (age average= 9,5 ± 1,93) took part. Spasticity was assessed by the Ashworth’s Modified Scale and the passive knee range of motion by an eletrogoniometer. The task was to walk on a walkway of 8m long, in their preferred speed, in 6 attempts, been 3 on right and 3 on left sagital planes. Eigth passive markers were bilaterally fixed for the kinematic record. Orthogonally to the walkway, two digital camcorders were assembled on the sagital plane. The fotogrametric procedures were performed by the Dvideow 6.3 software. The Matlab 7.0.1 software was used to filter and to calculate the dependent variables. The U test of Mann- Whitney found differences to the cerebral palsy type for knee extension/hiperextension (U = - 2.943; p= 0.003), knee relative angle at heel contact (U = - 5.992; p= 0.001) and knee range during stride (U = - 4.099; p= 0.001). The Wilcoxon’s test revealed differences according to the asymmetries for the hemiplegics only for the knee relative angle at heel contact (T= - 2.635; p<0.008). The contributions of passive knee range of motion, revealed by the Spearman correlations, for the more afected limb of the diplegics, showed that the knee extension/hiperextension interfere on the cadence, stride duration and step width; the knee relative angle at heel contact change the stride length and duration and cadence; and the...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Introdução: Nas crianças/jovens com Paralisia Cerebral (PC), as limitações motoras repercutem-se em limitações funcionais e, consequentemente, na diminuição da participação em ocupações. Sendo as manifestações da PC diferentes de indivíduo para indivíduo, estas vão refletir, dependendo da gravidade, quadro motor, ambiente físico e social, diferentes níveis de participação. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a relação entre a idade, sexo e grau de comprometimento motor e a participação em crianças/jovens com diagnóstico de paralisia cerebral com idades compreendidas entre os 5 e os 18 anos na ilha de São Miguel. Amostra e Métodos: 25 crianças de ambos os sexos (5- 18 anos), sinalizadas em instituições especializadas de reabilitação e em Centros de Atividades Ocupações (CAO’s) na Ilha de São Miguel – Açores. Foram aplicados dois instrumentos de avaliação às crianças/jovens, Gross Motor Function Measure e Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test, e foram entregues aos pais os outros dois instrumentos para autopreenchimento, Assessment of Life Habits e Child Health Questionnaire – Parent- Form 50. Na análise estatística, recorreu-se a testes como o Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Tstudent ou Mann-Whitney, teste de Fisher, teste de Spearman e ANOVA. Resultados: Não foram encontradas relações significativas entre a idade e o sexo e o nível de participação das crianças/jovens com PC. Contrariamente, ao avaliarmos a relação entre o grau de participação e o grau de afetação verificamos que esta é significativa (p=0,004). Conclusão: Na nossa amostra não se encontrou uma influência da idade e do sexo com a frequência da participação (relações não foram significativas). Contudo, pode-se concluir que as crianças/jovens que apresentam menos limitações motoras, como as que se enquadram no nível I/II da Gross Motor Function Classification System, apresentam níveis de participação maiores do que as que apresentam níveis de afetação motora maiores (Nível V)

Contextualization: Several studies have examined the mobility of this group of children, however little is known about the impact of motor function in activities of daily living, considering the seriousness of their neuromotor damage. Objective: Identify the functional differences of children with Cerebral Palsy with different levels of motor dysfunction and correlate these differences with the areas of mobility, self-care and social function in functional ability and caregiver´s assistance of these children. Methods: An l analytical cross-section search was developed, which were part 70 children / families aged from 4 to 7.5 years, in the Rehabilitation Center for Children. As tools were used the Pediatric Evaluation Disability Inventory (PEDI) and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS). Data analysis was performed by ANOVA and Pearson's correlation tests. Results: The results show the functional variability of children CP in different severity levels of motor disfunction This variation was observed in the areas of mobility, self-care and social function. The results also showed a strong correlation between the domains mobility and self-care, mobility and social function. Conclusions: The variability shown by the children with CP, suggests the use of PEDI and GMFCS as this association appears to increase the understanding of how the gross motor functions are related to activities of daily living, describing the best commitments and their degree of impact on functional activities. This correlation demonstrates how mobility is crucial to evaluate the performance and guide the therapeutic practice, to develop the children´s potencial, and guide the caregiver in stimulation

Children with cerebral palsy due to movement and posture disorders might have an injured nutritional state. This study's objective was to classify the body mass index of children with cerebral palsy and verify its relation with the injury level of gross motor function. Twenty children, male and female sex, with cerebral palsy with ages between 2 and 14 years participated in the study. They were chosen from a rehabilitation center with physiotherapy, occupational and speech therapy accompaniment. Children were classified according to the gross motor function classification scale. The anthropometric measures of each child weight, heel-knee length, estimated stature and body mass index were gauged. The body mass index was classified according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's body mass index percentile calculator for children and teenagers. The obtained data didn't show any relation between the gross motor function and body mass index. The reduced number of participants and the fact of all children be accompanied in dysphagia clinics and, when necessary, nutrition clinics, might have influenced these results.

The Assistive Technology makes the lives of people without disabilities more practical, but for people with disabilities it can make things possible. For these individuals can provide the conditions, making their limitations are not obstacles to their social and personal empowerment, and may contribute to their effective participation in tasks that were previously impossible, such as remaining seated correctly. A segment on which the necessary assistive technology works, is the adaptation of furniture such as chairs, tables, chairs-to-wheels for individuals with disabilities, as well as cerebral palsy. The study aimed to conduct a survey and brief description of theses and dissertations produced in Brazil on furniture adapted for students with cerebral palsy. We made searching in databases of libraries of major universities and federal state national banks, theses and dissertations. Nine studies were selected for description. It was concluded that there is a considerable array of professionals, both in engineering as the field of rehabilitation, to contribute in the adaptation, creation and even the manufacture of furniture for children with cerebral palsy and that the securities most studied are the chairs and their components.
