Position as a cause of deformity in children with cerebral palsy / George E. FULFORD in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 18-3 (June 1976)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 18-3 (June 1976) . - p.305-314 Titre : Position as a cause of deformity in children with cerebral palsy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : George E. FULFORD, Auteur ; J. K. BROWN, Auteur Année de publication : 1976 Article en page(s) : p.305-314 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The asymmetrical deformities in 20 children with various types of cerebral palsy are compared with 20 children without cerebral palsy who have the so-called 'squint' baby syndrome (asymmetrical deformities of plagiocephaly, unilateral bat ear, facial and thoracic asymmetry, pelvic obliquity and apparent shortening of one leg). It is suggested that the 'squint' baby syndrome and the 'windswept' child syndrome in children with cerebral palsy are stages of the same syndrome and that in both the deformities are caused by the effect of gravity on an immobile growing child, rather than spasticity or muscle imbalance. Asymmetrical deformity should therefore be amenable to physiotherapeutic intervention, rather than trying to modify maturation of the damaged brain. As the 'windswept' cerebralpalsied child can develop some of the most severe deformities seen in cerebral palsy, it is important that asymmetrical deformities should be prevented.

Treatment of valgus hindfoot in cerebral palsy by peroneus brevis lengthening / A. NATHER in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 26-3 (June 1984)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 26-3 (June 1984) . - p.335-340 Titre : Treatment of valgus hindfoot in cerebral palsy by peroneus brevis lengthening Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A. NATHER, Auteur ; George E. FULFORD, Auteur ; K. STEWART, Auteur Année de publication : 1984 Article en page(s) : p.335-340 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Twenty cerebral-palsied patients (30 feet) with hindfoot valgus due to muscle imbalance were reviewed and it was shown that the deformity can be reduced by peroneus brevis lengthening. The method of choice is intramuscular lengthening, which reduces the power of peroneus brevis by one point on the MRC grading and corrects the hindfoot valgus by one grade of severity. For full correction by tendon lengthening, the deformity must be treated while it is still mild. Repeat lengthening may be necessary if there is a severe muscle imbalance.
