Abstract
The purpose of this study was to research the clinical of cerebral palsy taking physical therapy at the
department of physical therapy of various clinics at Kyungnam - Pusan. Among the subjects that was born
from January, 1985 to June, 2000, 226 parents was answered to questioner of this study. ]´he results of the study were as follows:
1) During the embryonic period, the cerebral palsied children above 37weeks were 114 subjects(50.9%) and there was 51 subjects(22.8%) between 28wecks to .31 weeks and 32weeks to 36wecks. The children below 28wecks were 8 subjects(3.6%) and showed the lowest rate. As compared to the delivery methods, the normal delivery, cesarean section delivery, guidance delivery- and forceps delievery was 124 subjects(55.l%);.8rt(36.0%), 16(7.1%), and 4(1.8%). Among them the normal delivery indicated the highest percentage.
2) Compared to the weight during birth time, the above 2500g of 121 subjects(55.3%) showed the highest rate and the 28 subjects(12.8%) had the birth weight of 1000 to 1499g. There was 4 subjects(f.8U/o) below the 1000g.
3) Compared to the birth weight of the pregnancy period, the weight of the cerebral palsied children below 28weeks were 1000g to 1499g and showed the highest rate of ´4 subjects(50%). The children between 28weeks to 31 weeks and 32weeks to 36weeks were 1500 to 2499g, each 23(47.9%). and 28(54.9%) subject. The weight of the children of the above 37weeks were above 2500g and 94 subjects(87.4%). Therefore, if the period of pregnancy is short, the weight birth would indicate the lower weight than the weight of the other times( p<0.05 ).4) The spastic type of the pregnant period had the highest rate and the period was the below 28wceks to 3 l weeks. The cerebral palsied children of the athetoid and mixed type were 6 subjects(13.3% ,) and 5 subjects(31.9%) between 28 and 31 weeks. The mixed type of them was each 15 (31.9%) and 33 (30.6%) subject between 32 to 36 weeks and the above 37weeks. The mixed type showed a slightly high rate (p<0.05).
5) The spastic type indicated the highest rate in the weight of birth time and especially showed the high rate in the case of 1000 to 1499 g The mixed type indicated a slightly high rate of 17 subjects (25.8%) and 32 subjects (29.1 %) in case of 1500 to 2499g and the above 2500g (p<0.05).
