Cerebral Palsy

•
CP – incidence 1:500
36% Hemiplegic CP
UL > LL
Impairment
– Spasticity, Posturing, Sensation, Reduced
strength
• Intellectual capacity
• Impact

HABIT
UL problems in CP
• Integrity of motor cortex
and cortico-spinal tracts
affected
• Precision grasping
affected
• Fine control of hands and
fingers affected
• Abnormal tone
• Abnormal posturing
• Tactile and proprioceptive
disturbances

HABIT
Key issues
• Problems with bimanual coordination > unimanual deficit
• Restraining a child’s non-involved limb
– invasive
– frustrating
– de-motivating
• Children have never learned to use the affected
limb

North West CP Network Meeting
HABIT
CIMT
• Developed in adult to
overcome learned non-use
(children have to overcome
developmental non-use)
• Invasive
(it is practice not the restraint
which helps)
• Uni-manual vs bimanual
skills training
(children compensate well
with non-involved limb but
not effectively)

HABIT
HABIT
• Motor learning
• Neuroplasticity
• Use of involved hand as a typically developing child
uses non-dominant hand
• Practice = Improvement in function
• Structured practice based on how CNS responds
• Ensure
– Optimum task & response
– Gradually increase complexity
– Motivation, Rewards

Evidence
•
•
•
•
1 Single blinded RCT (Gordon et al, 2007)
Hemiplegic CP with Mild – Moderate hand involvement
20 children (3.5 – 15.5 yrs)
Randomized to intervention or delayed treatment control
group
• Evaluation before and after and 1mth post intervention

Assisting Hand Assessment
Increased involved extremity use (Accelerometry & Caregiver survey)
Bimanual items of Bruiniknks-Oseretsky test of Motor proficiency
Jebsen-Taylor test of hand function
Simultaneity of completing a draw opening task with 2 hands (p<0.)5 in
all cases)

HABIT
• Select task: Functional activities - bimanual hand use (based
on individual child)
• Ground rules re use of non-involved limb
• Structured practice – for 15 – 20 mins at a time (6 hours /day
for 10 days)
• Gradually increasing in complexity (tailored to each child)
• Child friendly (goals, parental involvement)
• Home practice 1 hr/day during and 2hrs/day after
intervention

Future
• Larger, robust, multi-centre RCTs would be
needed comparing different strategies
• Boyd et al, 2010 conducting RCT comparing
CIMT and BIM training

HABIT
Neurogenesis
Prenatal
• Neurogenesis
• Neuronal proliferation
• Migration & Aggregation
• Axonal growth &
synaptogenesis
Postnatal
• Synaptogenesis and
myelination till 2yrs
Process continues at reduced
rate
Synaptic pruning
• Dynamic state
• Birth – 2500 connections
• @15,000 (double the adult
size) at the age of 2yrs
• Apoptosis – Pruning

HABIT
Neuroplasticity
• Ability of the brain to constantly reorganise neural
pathways based on new experience and learning
• Ability of brain to change with learning

Neuroplasticity
•
•
•
•
•
Individual connections - strengthened or removed
“Neurons that fire together wire together”
Neurons active together - synapses strengthened & preserved
Those not active are pruned (continues till 16yrs)
Activity between close neurons leads to
cortical maps becoming one
• Neural development
– Gene expression
– Neurotransmitters
– Neurotrophins

HABIT
Adaptation
• Capacity to adapt and
change connections in
response to new
information, stimulation,
damage
• Reorganisation of cellular
&neural networks
• Synapses formed in
response to stimulation
• Long term potentiation
24/05/2010
• Primary areas not fixed
• Neurogenesis after
damage
