Introduction/Background In clinically, rehabilitation therapy is focused on functional improvement in mild to moderate cerebral palsy (CP) patients. In severe cases, postural management is one of the target goals. Therapeutic intensity is various in each patients and optimal intensity is still unclear. The aim of this study is to assess relation between therapeutic intensity of rehabilitation therapy and functional improvement in CP patients. Material and method Participants were 39 children with spastic CP. We divided participants into two groups based on initial gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) level, as mild to moderate groups with GMFCS 1 to 3, and severe groups with GMFCS 4 and 5. We also divided subjects into three groups based on intensity of therapy. We defined low intensity as less than 7 sessions (30 minutes of therapy per session) per week, intermediate intensity as 7 to 14 sessions per week and high intensity as over 14 sessions per week. Gross motor function measure (GMFM) and pediatric evaluation of disability inventory (PEDI) (three domains of Self-care, Mobility and Social) were measured at initial and 6 months by qualified investigators. Results Statistically significant improvement was observed in GMFM scores and mobility scores of PEDI in mild to moderate group (P < 0.05), self-care and social function sub-scores of PEDI in severe group (P < 0.05) for 6 months. Rehabilitation therapy with high intensity showed gross motor function improvement in mild to moderate group. In severe group, high intensity therapy showed improvement of self-care and social function than gross motor function in same duration. Conclusion To our knowledge, high intensity rehabilitation could make more functional and postural improvement in CP patients. However, there are many variables such as age, GMFCS level, type of CP, medical condition, comorbidities, etc. Consideration about optimal intensity of rehabilitation therapy according to severity of disease is needed in further study.

Chaleat-valayer) Introduction/Background To describe two classifications, one for the general pattern of the upper limb (Fig. 1) and one for the type of hands (Fig. 2) in cerebral palsy (CP), and to provide evidence of its reliability. Material and method Two classifications were developed and 212 videos of CP-patients (118 for UL patterns and 94 for hands; median age 14, 3–46 years) were viewed by 19 examiners of 2 different rehabilitation centers, who identified the UL pattern (Type Ia, Ib, Ic; Type IIa, IIb, IIc; Type IIIa, IIIb) or the kind of hand (Flex simple, total or evolved; Punching intrinsic, superficialis or profundus), and twice by 18 examiners at 2 months interval. Results There was a very high intra-rater and inter-raters reliability for types (0.87 < k < 0.92), and a substantial agreement also for subtypes (0.58 < k < 0.68), for both classifications. Some specific errors of quotation could be explained. Examiners involved in the study found both classifications useful and feasible. Conclusion Examiners had been only shortly trained to using classifications, and both novice and experienced raters had good to high agreement, which confirms that these classifications are easy to use reliably. Details of disagreement can be used to improve further both classifications.

Introduction/Background The aim of this study is assessment of functional benefits after multilevel surgery associated with selective partial neurotomies, focusing on rectus femoris (RF), semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles (medial hamstring MH) and the function of hip and knee joints. Material and method This is a series of patients who had multilevel surgery associated with selective neurotomy on RF, MH between 2009 and 2016. Clinical data were knee range of motion and Modified Ashworth Scale for RF and MH, energy expenditure index and gross motor function measure. Gait analysis data were speed, cadence, step length, time of stance phase, articular range of motion and articular moment on hip and knee flexion. Gait deviation index (GDI) and gait profile score (GPS) were calculated. All data were collected before surgery, and at last gait analysis followup available for each patient. Results Thirty-four patients were included. The average time assessment after surgery was 33.35 months ± 13.8. There is significant improvement of GDI and GPS, respectively from 74.2 ± 11.6 to 79.7 ± 8.2 (P = 0.010) and from 11.54 ± 4.1 to 9.5 ± 2.5 (P = 0.005).

Introduction/Background Sialorrhea consists of an involuntary loss of saliva, and is considered pathological after 4YO. The aim of this study is to describe our methodology and evaluate the efficacy and safety of Botulinum Toxin Type A (BTX-A) in sialorrhea in children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) or cognitive deficit, referenced to PMR consultation between 2002–2017. Material and method Longitudinal descriptive study with clinical records analysis and consultation of drooling rate scale (DRS) and teacher drool scale (TDS) prior to BTX-A injections and 1-month after. Injection of BTX-A performed with ultrasound and sedation. Results Total of 104 patients, 86 patients selected, 32 female (37.21%), 54 male (62.79%), current ages 7–29YO (mean 18), age of the 1st application 3–22YO (mean 9.76), age of last application 4–23YO (mean 11.83). Fifty patients (58.14%) diagnosed with CP. Two hundred and three total applications (average 2.36), maximum 10 applications. Parotids (55.56%), submandibular (9.09%) or both (35.35%), mean periodicity of 11.81 months. Sedation: 49.38% midazolam, 41.36% nitrogen protoxide, 0.62% Chloral-Hydrate and 8.64% without. Surveys: mean pre-application-DRS of 33.98 (minimum 19, maximum 58), mean post-application-DRS of 28.46 (min 15, max 54), with P = 6.48–5, average difference 4.28 points in DRS (min −27, max 22). Mean pre-application-TDS of 4.04 (min 2, max 5), mean post-applicantion-TDS of 3.38 (min 1, max 4), with P = 2.80–5, average difference of 0.69 points in TDS (min −1, max 3). Difference in DRS and TDS of 0.76 and 0.24 respectively in the parotids, 6.33 and 0.83 in the submandibular and 8.52 and 1.43 in both. Improvements were statistically significant. Surgery: 6 (6.98%). Side effects: 5 children (5.81%) insomnia/vomiting. No complications related to the administration technique. Conclusion The application of BTX-A in the treatment of sialorrhea is a safe, easy-to-apply technique, with statistically significant improvement in QoL and severity. Benefit in the application of BTXA in both glands treatment is shown.
