“…The results suggest that the difficulties in reaching experienced by preschool‐ and school‐age children with CP begin in early infancy. This contradicts our hypothesis that infants with CP ‘grow into their deficit’.…”

“…Cerebral palsy (CP) constitutes a group of disorders in which motor impairment is an important feature . In children with CP, motor impairments may induce difficulties on a daily basis, for example during reaching and grasping . Reaching is essential for daily routine and participation in social contexts, as it is used during actions such as eating, drinking, dressing, but also during interaction with the environment, for example during play activities.…”

Background: Different daily activities depend on proper forward reach. Doing functional activities bilaterally may improve daily performance. Objective: The aims of the current study are to determine if the bilateral forward reaching task can alter the shoulder joint flexion angle and the reaching speed of non-affected and affected upper limbs and to detect the relation between shoulder flexion angle and reaching speed in hemiparetic cerebral palsied children. Patients and Methods: A total of 50 hemiparetic cerebral palsy children, 52% boys, their ages ranged from 6 to 10 years participated in this study. From an erect sitting position, they were asked to forward reach a ball fixed on a table in front of them. Three different measurements were done, the first two times by the non-affected and the affected limbs separately then the third time by using both limbs at the same time. All measurements were photographed then kinovea software was used to measure the joint angle and speed during unilateral and bilateral forward reaching tasks. Results:The results of the joint angle and speed showed significant change in both limbs in bilateral task compared with that in unilateral task (p=0.0001). There was a negative correlation (r= -0.59, p=0.0001) between joint angle and speed in unilateral task of the affected limb. Less negative correlation (r= -0.45, p=0.001) was observed between joint angle and speed in bilateral task of the affected limb. Conclusion:The better outcomes were gained when the task done bilaterally and there was an inverse relationship between the joint angle and the speed of movement of the affected limb of hemiparetic cerebral palsy children during forward reaching activity.

“…The first two authors independently assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using the Quality Rating Checklist (QRC), which was developed by Visicato et al (2015) based on previous quality assessment tools (Da Costa, et al, 2013; Soh et al, 2011). The QRC was chosen because it enables the quality assessment of non-randomized studies by rating the study’s rationale, hypothesis, study design, participants, selection criteria, recruitment process, sampling method, ethical aspects, drop out rate, sample size, variables of interest, statistical analysis, results, external validity, conclusion, and study limitations.…”

Considering that somatosensory impairments may impact motor performance in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP), a better understanding of these relations is relevant to planning interventions. To synthesize research evidence to date on the interrelationships between the somatosensory functions of touch and proprioception with motor functions in persons with CP, we systematically searched Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Medline databases for studies relating these variables that were published in English from the inception of these databases to November 2020. We targeted the following content categories in our literature search: (a) cerebral palsy; (b) sensory functions; (c) tactile functions; (d) proprioception functions; and (e) motor functions. The selection, data extraction, and methodological quality assessment of these studies were performed in duplicate. We retrieved and analyzed information regarding the studies’ methodological approaches and synthesized results. The 11 studies that met our inclusion criteria showed that, in individuals with CP, impairments in tactile discrimination, proprioception, and stereognosis are related to motor functions in terms of overall manual ability, grip strength, postural control and locomotion. Thus, clinical practitioners should attend to somatosensory aspects of motor impairment in individuals with CP. More research is needed to clarify the direction of these associations.
