A Proposed Formula for Calculating Energy Needs of Children With Cerebral Palsy

Abstract: SUMMARY This study compared two methods of calculating the energy needs of children with CP: the traditional method, using RDA for chronological age; and the Krick method, which calculates the BMR and includes factors for muscle tone, movement or level of activity, and energy requirements for normal and catch‐up growth. 30 tube‐fed children, aged between nine months and 18 years, who were inpatients for longer than one week at the Kennedy Institute, were reviewed. 14 were female. They were weighed at admission… Show more

“…Two population-specific equations exist to estimate ERs in children with CP (12,14). An equation developed by Krick et al in 1992 (14) was later proven to be inaccurate when compared with the gold standard doubly labeled water (DLW) method (12).…”

“…Various methods have been proposed all of which are limited by the numerous assumptions. [7][8][9][10] Accurate estimations are difficult because of variations in energy requirements related to the heterogeneity of the group, altered body composition and reduced physical activity levels. There is currently no commonly accepted method for estimating the energy needs of children and adolescents with CP.…”
