1 Cerebral Palsy By:Carrie Siders and Kelsey Hampsey 3rd hour.

2 What is Cerebral Palsy? Cerebral palsy is a physical disability It affects movement and posture It is a permanent life-long condition does not get worse over time. It involves damage to the developing brain either during pregnancy or shortly after birth.

3 Key Facts It is the most common physical disability in childhood. Cerebral palsy is an umbrella term for a group of disorders. It is a condition that is permanent, but not unchanging. In most cases, brain injury leading to cerebral palsy occurs during pregnancy. Cerebral palsy, except in its mildest forms, can be evident in the first months. It can range from weakness in one hand, to an almost complete lack of voluntary movement requiring 24 hour care. Children with cerebral palsy are likely to also have other impairments in addition to their motor disability. There is no known cure.

4 Statistics 1 in 2 has an intellectual impairment. 1 in 3 cannot walk. 1 in 3 has hip displacement. 1 in 4 has epilepsy. 1 in 5 is tube fed. 1 in 5 has a sleep disorder. 1 in 10 has a severe vision impairment. 1 in 25 has a severe hearing impairment. The cost of CP is estimated expenditure of $1.47 billion per year.

5 Facts Males Males are at greater risk of having cerebral palsy Premature babies Prematurity is associated with higher rates of cerebral palsy Small babies Low birth weight is associated with higher rates of cerebral palsy. This may be a result of prematurity or slow intrauterine growth. 42% of children with cerebral palsy had low birth weight, compared to just over 6% of the Australian population Twins, triplets and higher multiple births Prematurity is associated with higher rates of cerebral palsy. 11% of children with cerebral palsy were from a multiple birth, whereas the rates of multiple births are only 1.7% in the Australian population.

6 Causes: No single cause of cerebral palsy For most babies born with cerebral palsy the cause remains unknown Researchers now know that a small percentage of cases of cerebral palsy are due to complications at birth The largest risk factor for cerebral palsy is premature birth 13 out of 14 cases in Australia the brain injury that lead to cerebral palsy occurs either in the uterus or before 1 month of age Stroke is the most common cause in babies who get cerebral palsy after 1 month of age

7 How is it detected in babies? Babies Low muscle tone (baby feels floppy when picked up) Unable to hold up its own head while lying on their stomach or in a supported sitting position Muscle spasms or feeling stiff Poor muscle control, reflexes and posture Delayed development (can t sit up or independently roll over by 6 months) Feeding or swallowing difficulties Preference to use one side of their body

8 How is it detected in toddlers? Toddlers/Children may experience difficulties with their physical development such as: not walking by months not speaking simple sentences by 24 months

9 Can it be prevented? There is no way to completely prevent this disease. Magnesium Sulphate is given to pregnant mothers when they are at risk of very preterm birth. This can help protect babies from the brain injury that leads to cerebral palsy. Cooling Cap Newborn babies who have suffered a brain injury due to lack of oxygen before birth (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy) may be treated with a special cooling cap which aims to reduce the impact of the brain injury.

10 What are the treatments? Medication Some medications are taken orally others are injected or can be delivered through surgically implanted pumps. Surgical procedures Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy procedure used in to permanently reduce spasticity in their legs. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy sitting, walking, playing, dressing and toileting. They will use a range of specialist interventions
