Evidence quality was variable (from very low to moderate) and only a few strong recommendations were made. CONCLUSIONS In severe CP at high risk of hip dislocation, it is strongly recommended to start early hip surveillance programs. In our national context, there is a need to implement ...
Inclusion criteria were bilateral CP and GMFCS levels III-V. Scoliosis was evaluated annually by examination of the spine by a physiotherapist. Radiographic examination was performed in children with moderate or severe scoliosis at clinical evaluation. The Cobb angle was used as a measure of curve ...
The differences between the mild/moderate (grade I-III) GMFCS and severe (grade IV-V) GMFCS in the distribution were statistically significant (P <0.05). Moreover, the MRI abnormal rate of premature infants was significantly higher than the MRI abnormal rate of term infants. Conclusion: The ...
However, research suggests that only 2–7% of children at GMFCS I-III engage in even moderate activity [70]. Children at all GMFCS levels need to reduce sedentary behaviour and even increasing light activity is better than no activity [69]. For children at GMFCS V, fitness relates primarily...
