Manual ability and manual dexterity in children with cerebral palsy.
INTRODUCTION Manual ability and performance of dexterity tasks require both gross and fine hand motions and coordination. The aim of this study was to determine the level of manual dexterity (capacity) and investigate its relationship with manual ability (performance) in children with cerebral palsy. METHOD This study was designed as a cross-sectional study of 30 children with cerebral palsy ...

متن کاملDysmorphic neuromuscular junctions associated with motor ability in cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most prevalent neurologic disease in children and a leading cause of severe physical disability. Research and clinical experience indicate that children with CP have abnormal neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), and we present evidence that nonapposition of neuromuscular junction components is associated with the severity of motor system deficit in CP. Leg muscle biopsies ...
