Kinesthetic recall of children with athetoid and spastic cerebral palsy and of non-handicapped children / Janet OPILA-LEHMAN in Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 27-2 (April 1985)

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopmental Medicine & Child Neurology > 27-2 (April 1985) . - p.223-230 Titre : Kinesthetic recall of children with athetoid and spastic cerebral palsy and of non-handicapped children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Janet OPILA-LEHMAN, Auteur ; Margaret A. SHORT, Auteur ; Catherine A. TROMBLY, Auteur Année de publication : 1985 Article en page(s) : p.223-230 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Twenty-four children with spastic or athetoid quadriplegic cerebral palsy were paired according to severity of motor disability and age, then matched with 12 non-handicapped children of similar ages. The children were tested with a standard kinesthesiometer and two kinds of scores were recorded. Absolute Error scores reflected the children's deviation from the target and Total Movement scores reflected their over-all range of movement. There were significant differences between groups in Absolute Error scores, with the cerebral-palsied children performing worse than the controls and the spastic children worse than the athetoid children. All three groups tended to underestimate the targets and there were no significant differences in Total Movement scores.
