“…14 Continued efforts regarding rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities, along with caregiver support, have evolved to offer comprehensive rehabilitative care to improve physical function, psychological and cognitive performance, education, and sports participation, by engaging specialists within the targeted area of expertise. 14 During the course of rehabilitation of individuals with PD, we explored hand-dexterity function and revealed that subjects demonstrate notably less manual and fine dexterity compared to age-and gender-matched healthy subjects. We studied manual and fine dexterity using a nine-hole peg test and the Minnesota Manual Dexterity Test.…”

“…Cerebral palsy (CP) has been recognized as one of the major causes of physical disability in children worldwide [1][2][3]. There may be variations in the prevalence of CP in children mainly because of the inconsistency of definition and classification that generate seemingly controversial results and conclusions or because of the methodological variations [4].…”

“…Nutritional status is significantly affected in children with CP [1][2][6][7]. The associated co-morbidities include growth abnormalities, feeding complications, communication disorders, mental obstruction, seizure disorders, and auditory and visual deficiency [8][9].…”

“…Most of the studies done in developed countries show that factors like inadequate nutrient intake, feeding problems and motor dysfunctions are associated with poor nutritional status in CP children [1][2][11][12][13][14]. No data, however, currently exist that report nutritional status of CP children in Saudi Arabia despite a high prevalence of this disorder in children in this country [15].…”

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is considered as the main cause of severe physical impairment and malnutrition in children.This cross-sectional study intended to survey the nutritional status of cerebral palsy children in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: We examined 74 children (age: 1-10 yrs) with CP, who attended Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City (SBAHC), Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Data on age, general demographics, nutritional status and dietary intake were collected. A child was considered underweight, wasted, stunted or thin if the standard deviation scores for his/her weight for age, weight for height, height for age and body mass index for age was ≤ -2.0 standard deviation (SD) using WHO growth standards. Multivariable logistic regression identified the factors associated with nutritional indicators. Results: More than half (56.4%) of the children with cerebral palsy were malnourished as they had z-score below <-2 SD in at least one of the four indicators. Thinness (50%) was the most common form of malnutrition, followed by underweight, stunting and wasting. Arm anthropometrics gave similar results on the percent number of malnourished children. Factors that were independently associated with malnutrition with an adjusted OR (aOR) were as follow: age ≤ 5 yrs (aOR: 4.29); presence of cognitive impairment (aOR: 4.13); presence of anemia (aOR: 3.41) and inadequate energy intake (aOR: 4.86) (p, for all trends <0.05). Conclusion: Cerebral palsy children of the current study have impaired growth and nutritional status as assessed by all four common nutritional status indicators. Further large-scale community-based studies for in-depth evaluation of nutritional status and growth patterns in children with CP are needed.
