pediatric neurological disorders including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injury are defined as a heterogenous group of diseases, of which some are known to be genetic. the two significant features represented for stem cells, leading to distinguish them from other cell types are addressed as below: they can renew themselves besides the ability to differentiate into cells wi...

background and objectives: the complications associated with spastic cerebral palsy can affect the physical ability and quality of life of individuals suffering from this motor disorder. the aim of this study was to assess the relationship between quality of life and hypertonia in adults with spastic cerebral palsy. methods:   in an analytical cross sectional study, 70 subjects with the diagnos...

Cerebral palsy is the commonest physical disability in childhood, occurring in 2.0 to 2.5 per 1000 live births. Although the total number of children with cerebral palsy has remained stable or increased slightly since 1970, there has been a consistent rise in the proportion of cerebral palsy associated with preterm and very preterm births. Known causes of cerebral palsy--whether prenatal, perin...

INTRODUCTION Cerebral palsy is the most common cause of physical disability in early childhood. Epilepsy is known to have a high association with cerebral palsy. All types of epileptic seizures can be seen in patients with cerebral palsy. Complex partial and secondary generalized ones are the most frequent seizure types. In persons with cerebral palsy and mental retardation, the diagnosis of ep...

OBJECTIVES To examine the rate of cerebral palsy in twins and triplets in births from 1980 to 1989 in Western Australia and to identify factors associated with increase in risk. DESIGN Pluralities for all births in Western Australia were identified through the standardised midwives' notification system, and cases of cerebral palsy were identified from the Western Australian cerebral palsy reg...

Exercise method can improve postural and This study aims to determine effect exercise therapy a child spastic diplegic palsy. using single-subject rese...

objective cerebral palsy (cp), a common static motor neurological disorder of childhood with wide spectrum of underlying etiologies, can be demonstrated with different neuro imaging techniques. we undertook this study to investigate the diagnosis of intracranial lesions in children with cp and its correlation between clinical deficits and neuroradiological findings. materials and methods in thi...
