“…While poor motor function might be a consequence of VI, it could also hamper the normal development of the ophthalmic system (24,25). Because patients with CP depend more than unaffected controls on visual information for balance, posture, and muscle tone, proper visual correction could additionally foster their neurorehabilitation (26-28).…”

AimTo evaluate visual impairment (VI) in children with cerebral palsy (CP).MethodsThis population-based study included 419 children from the Surveillance of Cerebral Palsy in Europe (SCPE) C28 RCP-HR – Register of Cerebral Palsy of Croatia born 2003-2008. Vision in children with CP (according to SCPE) was classified as normal or impaired, with the subcategory of severe VI. The proportion of children with VI was assessed in groups with different CP type/subtype, gross and fine motor function, and gestational age (GA).ResultsA total of 266 children had some degree of VI (266/400; 66.5%), 134 had normal vision, and data on VI were unknown for 19 children. Severe VI was present in 44 children (44/400; 11%). The proportion of children with VI and severe VI increased with the Gross Motor Function Classification System and Bimanual Fine Motor Function levels. Children with bilateral spastic CP had the highest frequency of severe VI (14.9%). The percentage of severe VI in children with bilateral spastic CP was 53.8% in the group born <28 weeks of GA, 13.3% in the group born 28-31 weeks of GA, 11.1% in the group born 32-36 weeks of GA, and 24.4% in the group born >36 weeks of GA (λ2 = 4.95; df = 6; P < 0.001).ConclusionChildren with CP have a high prevalence of VI and severe VI, which is increasing with the level of motor impairment. Severe VI is significantly more common in children with bilateral spastic CP, especially among extremely premature infants.

“…Visual disorders were not found to have a significant relationship with intellectual skills. There are data indicating that for children diagnosed with CP, brain damage and impaired motor development might adversely affect ophthalmic development (26). Visual disorders are directly related to the severity of lesions in the brain.…”

“…Children with CP have abnormal ophthalmic and oculomotor abilities, linked to poor motor development. 26,27 There is a high prevalence of strabismus and refractive errors, 28 abnormal optokinetic nystagmus, and visual field deficits, 29 worse in children with more severe forms of CP. 30 In addition, children with CP have trouble coupling eye and hand movements for reaching.…”

This perspective explores common pediatric diagnoses that could present with central vestibular pathway dysfunction, leading to delays in motor development and postural control, and gaze instability. Specifically, the following diagnoses are considered: cerebral palsy, myelomeningocele, vestibular migraine, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, developmental coordination disorder, concussion, childhood cancer, congenital muscular torticollis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and autism. Suggestions for clinical screening, vestibular function testing, and vestibular rehabilitation for children with these diagnoses are based on evidence for the efficacy of testing and interventions for children with peripheral vestibular hypofunction. More research is needed to explore peripheral and central vestibular function in children with these diagnoses. Testing and intervention methods may need to be modified to accommodate for the specific behavior and motor challenges that some children might present. Researchers should develop technology so that gaze stabilization exercises can be delivered in a fun, functional, and effective way.
