Abstract
|
|
|
Cerebral palsy is defined as a nonprogressive lesion of the brain occuring before, at, or soon after birth that interferes with the normal development of the immature brain. The resulting impairment of the coordination of muscle action with an inability to maintain postures and balance and perform normal movement and skills is common to all cases.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between walking and pathologic reflex.
I studied 61 cerebral palsy patients, between 2 to 23 years old, who were treated at Haeng Bok Rehabilitation Hospital.
The results from this study are as follows:
1. The sex ratio between male and female was 49.2% : 51.8%.
2. In age distribution, the most predominant age group was 11-15 years old(52.5%).
3. The following were the most important defect in non walking group : Motor disturbance, sensory disturbance, speech disturbance, reading disturbance and writing disturbance.
4. The following were the most important pathologic reflexes in non walking group : Associated reaction, positive supporting reaction, neck righting, Moro reflex and Protective extensor thrust.
