Longitudinal study of physical working capacity of young people with spastic cerebral palsy / Ake LUNDBERG in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-3 (June 1984)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-3 (June 1984) . - p.328-334 Titre : Longitudinal study of physical working capacity of young people with spastic cerebral palsy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ake LUNDBERG, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.328-334 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Nineteen adolescents with spastic diplegia and 12 able-bodied controls took part in a longitudinal study of aerobic capacity and physical working capacity during their teens. Absolute values for aerobic capacity and physical working capacity increased during the teens for both groups, which appears to contradict earlier descriptions of prematurely decreased physical working capacity among cerebral-palsied adolescents. On the other hand, net mechanical efficiency during submaximal bicycle ergometer tests decreased significantly in the diplegic group during their teens, and especially among those with severe motor handicap. This is of interest because these children are at risk of insufficient physical activity at school, partly because of the unsatisfactory design of physical education programmes for motor-handicapped children.

Maximal aerobic capacity of young people with spastic cerebral palsy / Ake LUNDBERG in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 20-2 (April 1978)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 20-2 (April 1978) . - p.205-210 Titre : Maximal aerobic capacity of young people with spastic cerebral palsy Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Ake LUNDBERG, Auteur Année de publication : 1978 Article en page(s) : p.205-210 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Maximal aerobic capacity in bicycle ergometer tests was studied in nine children (aged 11 to 12 years) and five young men (aged 19 to 23 years), all with a spastic form of cerebral palsy, and compared with non-handicapped control groups. Results showed somewhat lower values for heart rate, oxygen uptake/kg, ventilation/kg and blood lactate concentrations for the majority of the spastic group. The physical work capacity of the handicapped group amounted to about 50 per cent of the corresponding values for the non-handicapped controls. Poor mechanical efficiency in the spastic group is the consequence of high oxygen uptake in relation to the work performed. The poor mechanical performance is mainly caused by the extra amount of energy required for qualitative changes in the muscle (constant hypertonia), involuntary movements and stabilizing movements during exercise on the bicycle ergometer.
