“…Three studies were conducted in the following countries in the Americas: Canada (Nadeau et al, 2008 ), USA (Reilly et al, 2008 ), and Brazil (Dourado et al, 2013 ). Three studies were conducted in Oceanian countries: Australia [Bodimeade et al, 2013 ; Piovesana et al, 2015 , 2017 ]. One study was conducted in the Middle-East, Israel (Gofer-Levi et al, 2014 ), and one in Asia, China (Li et al, 2014 )., One specific study was developed with a sample from five countries and two different continents (Stadskleiv et al, 2014 ): Europe (Norway, Netherland, Sweden, and Germany) and America (Canada).…”

“…The majority of the studies used a cross-sectional design (Bottcher et al, 2009 ; Jenks et al, 2009b , 2011 ; Pirila et al, 2011 ; Caillies et al, 2012 ; Dourado et al, 2013 ; Stadskleiv et al, 2014 ), but several studies followed a mixed design (Li et al, 2014 ; Ballester-Plané et al, 2016 ; Laporta-Hoyos et al, 2017 ). Finally, a few studies used other designs such as longitudinal study (Nadeau et al, 2008 ), exploratory study (Reilly et al, 2008 ), case control (Gofer-Levi et al, 2014 ), test-retest (Piovesana et al, 2015 ), and a randomized-control trial (Piovesana et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Most of the studies included in this review focused on executive dysfunction in patients with CP. The studies focused on assessing participants with CP (Bottcher et al, 2009 ; Pirila et al, 2011 ; Piovesana et al, 2015 , 2017 ; e.g., examining whether the EFs in children with CP evolve over time, Piovesana et al, 2015 ) or focused on comparing participants with CP against typically developing peers (Nadeau et al, 2008 ; Reilly et al, 2008 ; Jenks et al, 2009b , 2011 ; Caillies et al, 2012 ; Dourado et al, 2013 ; Li et al, 2014 ; Stadskleiv et al, 2014 ; Piovesana et al, 2015 ; e.g., studies evaluating specific conditions of daily life, such as school performance, Jenks et al, 2009b , 2011 and health issues, Dourado et al, 2013 ).…”

How Executive Functions Are Evaluated in Children and Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy? A Systematic Review

et al. 2018

Aims: The aim of the present study was to examine how executive functions are assessed in children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy.Method: A systematic literature review was conducted using four bibliographic databases (WebScience, Scopus, PubMed, and Psycinfo), and only studies that evaluated at least one executive function were selected. Both the research and reporting of results were based on Cochrane's recommendations and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines.Results: The instrument most frequently used was the D-KEFS. All studies point to the existence of impairments in the executive functions among children and adolescents with Cerebral Palsy with an impact on several cognitive and life domains.Interpretation: There is a need to further systematize the research protocols to study the executive functions and their assessment in the intervention context. Findings of this review presented a diversity of tests (e.g., D-KEFS) or tasks (e.g., The inhibitory ability task) used with children with Cerebral Palsy. However, no information was given about adaptations performed to the test/task to meet Cerebral Palsy's specificities. Future research could consider including this information, which is key both to researchers and practitioners. The results of this study have important implications and suggestions for future avenues and guidelines for research and practice.

PVL Periventricular leukomalaciaChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) have an increased risk of cognitive impairments. This narrative review of the literature discusses assessment of cognition in children with CP, presents the most salient characteristics of cognitive functioning pertaining to each subtype, and discusses the relationships between brain injury, functioning, and intervention from a developmental perspective. A search for original studies of cognitive functioning in children with different subtypes of CP was performed. The search resulted in 81 unique hits. There were few studies with a representative sample of children with CP where all participants were individually assessed. Cognitive functioning in children with the most severe motor impairments were often assumed and not assessed. Furthermore, there was a confounding of IQ below 70 and intellectual disability, possibly leading to an overestimation of the prevalence of intellectual disability. Longitudinal neuropsychological studies, including also very young children and those with the most severe speech and motor impairments, as well as intervention studies, are called for.

Executive functions (EFs) are an umbrella term that includes various cognitive abilities (such as inhibition, planning, goal‐setting, monitoring, and shifting). There is common agreement that there are three main EFs: inhibitory control, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. Further studies have reported that compared to typically developing peers, children with cerebral palsy (CP) show deficits in EF skills. This study aims to evaluate children with CP's inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility skills. Forty children with CP between the ages of 7–13 were included in the present study. EF scores of the CP group were compared with scores of typically developing peers matched one‐to‐one by age and sex. The EF skills were evaluated with Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST), Stroop color–word test (SCWT) TBAG Form, and executive function behavior rating scale parent form (BRIEF‐P). It was determined that there was a significant difference in the WCST total trials, total errors, categories completed, and percent conceptual level responses scores (p < .05); SCWT‐TBAG scores (p < .05), and BRIEF‐P all scores (p ≤ .01) of children with CP. The results of this study suggest that children with CP are disadvantaged with EF skills in terms of inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility.
