“…More precise diagnoses 16 Definition and Classification of CP and links from pathology to patient's priorities for treatment need to be established. While motor disability is the hallmark of CP, therapists are well aware that other concurrent conditions can confound or even eclipse the motor disorder and must be included in these schemes.…”

“…13,14 With this understanding, the admonition to consider CP a symptom complex (or phenotype) which requires a thorough search for underlying diagnosable and perhaps treatable diseases seems particularly apt -a point also discussed in the recent practice parameter statement regarding diagnostic assessment of CP. 7,15,16 Modern neuroimaging will need to be coupled with diagnostic testing for a growing number of genetic and metabolic disorders in order to identify those few individuals with CP caused by rare diseases. Although current data indicates that less than 5% of cases of CP are caused by these conditions, the lack of systematic studies of populations affected by CP leaves questions regarding their true prevalence.…”

“…Cerebral palsy is defined as a disorder of movement and posture that develops from non-progressive lesions that can be caused by injury to the developing fetus and infant's brain; it is not a disease, so its clinical features are similar to a common syndrome [1]. The immature brain's development triggers constraints on their activities, and permanent obstacles to attitude development and movement.…”

MOJ Orthop Rheumatol 2017, 7(4): 00279 control have developed [5]. However, children with cerebral palsy who have not experienced normal development show a poor ability to control their head, and head control is essential during the young children's development, in this way, it will not permit effective posture adjustment, and children cannot perform normal movements in all postures [6]. Moreover, excessive extension posture in the neck and stooped trunk posture shortens sufferers' posterior neck muscles, sustained posture creates weakness in the posterior neck muscles, it is difficult to keep the head in a space, the arms are too heavy for movement, and the hands and eyes move separately [6]. Therefore, maintaining balance and posture is very difficult for children with cerebral palsy [7].Head regulation intervention is indispensable for improving posture control with cerebral palsy, and the role of the deep neck flexor muscles to maintain posture control and neck stability have been emphasized recently [8]. The deep neck flexor muscle shows a relatively large amount of muscle spindle distributions compared with other muscles, and can require high Proprioceptive function [9]. Proprioceptive sensation plays an important role in maintaining posture to teach information about position sense and relative body orientation with regard to the ground, and intervention for that is positive for the maintenance of posture in cerebral palsy children [10]. Deep Neck Flexor Muscle ExerciseThe deep muscles of the neck include the cervical muscles longus colli, longus capitis, rectus capitis anterior, and rectus capitis lateralis, and other muscles in the anterior, and the spinalis cervicis, multifidus, suboccipitalis, and others are involved in the posterior; these muscles are involved in stabilizing and supporting the neck [11]. Most children with cerebral palsy show a posture side flexion posture or forward flexion posture due to the lack of trunk stability. In particular, it is observed from the posture when bending forward from a body sitting position that this induces excessive neck extension, which reduces its stability [12]. Therefore, the longus colli and longus capitis muscles acting as antagonists of the neck extensor muscles are emphasized [8]. These muscles perform a similar dynamic function, provide vertical stability for the neck, and serve to support the anterior of the base of the neck and support and fix each joint [13,14]. In particular, the deep cervical flexion muscles are lower than to cooperate effectively to generate strong muscle contraction force to support the weight of the head while maintaining the correct posture of the neck and moving the head. They play a role in supporting and fixing the neck by providing strong static muscle endurance and stability [15]. Recently, the activation of the cervical flexor muscles have been proven to have a positive effect on the improvement of the abdominal muscle thickness, dynamic and static balance ability, and Proprioceptive function of children with cerebral ...

“…Cerebral palsy is a static neurologic condition resulting from brain injury that occurs before cerebral development is complete. Because brain development continues during the first two years of life, cerebral palsy can result from brain injury occurring during the prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal periods (Bass 1999).The CP encompasses a spectrum of motor disorders of varying tone, anatomical distribution and severity. According to clinical classification CP is divided into Spastic, Dyskinetic, Hypotonic/Ataxic and Mixed type of CP.…”

Aim: This cross-sectional study assessed prevalence rate and physical therapy awareness of cerebral palsy (CP) in Panipat city. Method: A total two hundred (107 male and 93 female) of age between 2 to 7 year subject with premature birth (< 36 weeks) and low birth weight (< 2500 g) participated in the study. A structured questionnaire which sought information on socio-demographics, gestational age, birth weight, mother history, neonatal history, MAS and DTR scale was used to obtain data from the respondents who were taken from all government and private hospitals/ nursing homes having obstetrics and gynaecology department. Result: More than one fourth of the respondents, 54 (27%) reported diagnosis was cerebral palsy hence 27.0% is reported prevalence rate and 42.6% was aware of physical therapy importance in cerebral palsy. There were significant associations between gestational age and low birth weight. A significant association was also found between delayed cry and birth asphyxia and cerebral palsy. Conclusion: It was concluded from the results of the present study that there was a high prevalence rate of CP and low physical therapy awareness in Panipat city. It was also found that cerebral palsy was significantly influenced by prematurity and low birth weight.
