Objectives: Cerebral palsy is the most common type of permanent movement and posture disorder in children leading to activity limitations. Childrenchr('39')s participation is influenced by their functional ability, skills, interests, and environmental factors. The objective of the study was to describe parent perception of environmental barriers to participation of children with cerebral palsy....

cerebral palsy is the most common chronic motor disorder of childhood, that affecting approximately 3 infants per 1000 live-births. the risk of brain injuries that potentially cause cerebral palsy has amplified with increasing in survival rates for preterm infants. in addition cerebral palsy has a huge economic impact, to immeasurable health, social, and psychological problems that affected chi...

inherited facial palsy without involvement of other cranial nerves or facial and limb anomalies has been reported rarely in the literature. in the classic mobius syndrome, as a syndrome of rhombencephalic development, in addition to facial palsy, there are bilateral or unilateral abducens palsy, dysmorphic facial features, and limb anomalies. we found 11 patients with isolated facial palsy in f...

purpose: congenital third nerve palsy was generally thought to exist in isolation without associated abnormalities. in this report, we present a case of congenital third nerve palsy in osteogenesis imperfecta. methods: a 6-month-old girl with osteogenesis imperfceta presented with ptosis and large incomitant exotropia in left eye (le) at birth. ocular examination revealed total third nerve pals...

PURPOSE Cranial nerve (CN) palsy is the main symptom in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic outcome of NPC with CN palsy and to analyze the prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 104 NPC patients with CN palsy curatively treated by conventional (n=44) or conformal (n=60) radiotherapy (RT) were enrolled. Upper...

Our goal in this paper is to provide a fast numerical implementation of the local trigonometric bases algorithm1 in order to demonstrate that an advantage can be gained by constructing a biorthogonal basis adapted to a target image. Different choices for the bells are proposed, and an extensive evaluation of the algorithm was performed on synthetic and seismic data. Because of its ability to re...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. PURPOSE We aimed to investigate prognostic factors affecting postsurgical recovery of deltoid palsy due to cervical disc herniation (CDH). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Little information is available about prognostic factors affecting postsurgical recovery of deltoid palsy due to CDH. METHODS Sixty-one patients with CDH causing deltoid palsy (less t...

BACKGROUND: It is generally accepted that the risk of cerebral palsy decreases with increasing gestational age of live born infants. However, recent studies have shown that cerebral palsy often has prenatal antecedents including congenital malformations, vascular insults and maternal infection. Cerebral palsy is therefore better viewed as occurring among fetuses, rather than among infants. We e...
