The clinical and neurological features of prematurely born children with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system were studied. A comprehensive examination of 79 preterm infants of both sexes who underwent perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system was performed. 37.9 % of the surveyed were diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy, 20.3 % were diagnosed with spastic diplegia, 27.8 % were diagnosed with childhood hemiplegia, hydrocephalus was acquired in 13.9 % as a result of non-traumatic intraventricular hemorrhage. In 10.3 % of children, severe movement disorders (patients with spastic cerebral palsy and acquired hydrocephalus without surgery) were noted, 37.7 % of the examined did not master walking (patients with spastic diplegia, spastic cerebral palsy and acquired hydrocephalus operated on after 6 months of life), 35.5 % of children have mastered walking with assistive devices (patients with spastic diplegia and acquired hydrocephalus operated on up to 6 months of age), 16.5 % of children have mastered walking without restrictions (children with childhood hemiplegia and acquired hydrocephalus, operated on up to 6 months of age). Characteristic structural changes in perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system are periventricular leukomalacia of the II–III degree and intraventricular hemorrhage of the I–III degree. The study of somatosensory evoked potentials conducted in the course of the work showed that at the 3rd, 4th levels of disorders of motor functions by GMFCP, there is a significant decrease in the function of conducting along the somatosensory pathway, depression of the amplitude of the peaks. It has been established, that in the structure of severe motor disorders in children with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic lesions of the central nervous system, violations of arbitrary regulation of movements and postural control are significant. A clear manifestation of the close correlation between motor function impairment, cognitive activity and anxiety level in the examined children has been established, which testifies to the negative impact of a negative emotional state on the development of a child with severe motor disorders.

The article analyzes the reflexology techniques that are used in the system of rehabilitation  in children with cerebral palsy and comparative effectiveness  in 72 children who were on treatment at the center of early medical and social rehabilitation for children with organic damage of the central nervous system. The main clinical effects are shown and the frequency of adverse reactions of reflexotherapy in this category of patients is analyzed.

Introduction: Cerebral palsy occurs as a result of affecting those parts of the central nervous system that control the muscles and are responsible for the balance and movements arbitrariness. It has a number of forms with varying degrees of damage to the central nervous system and impaired physiological functions. And this certainly affects the perception. Due to perception distortion, sensory interpretation is slowed down and incorrectly analyzed in the cerebral cortex. The improvement of the motor sphere implies the development of general and small motor skills, and the improvement of movements coordination. The correction of motor sphere disorders should be done in a comprehensive, systematic manner, with the involvement of specialists (neurologists, physical therapists, rehabilitologists, sensory therapists). This will help to determine the content of motor sphere correction exercises and define the step-by-step measures for physical condition improvement. Aim: to investigate the impact of physical and sports rehabilitation measures of people with cerebral palsy disabilities on improving the proprioceptive system basing on an analysis of the practical application of the bocce game program. Methodology: SIPT (Sensory Integration and Praxis Tests) breach detection study. Bocce game lessons were tested (as a method of physical and sport rehabilitation) in order to improve the sensory system. Object of the study – 10 people aged 28–35 with a clinical diagnosis of "Cerebral palsy" with impaired mobility, who are using a trolley and are undergoing rehabilitation at the rehabilitation center in Lviv. Results: It was found that 9 out of 10 participants had dysarthric disorders. General somatic attenuation and slow development of locomotor functions are accompanied by a lag in the motor sphere development of the people with cerebral palsy. Conclusion: The study found that engaging in sports and exercise leads to increased physical health and improved gross fine motor skills related to the sensorimotor system

A comprehensive examination of 79 children of middle age (3,2±1,3) years old with perinatal hypoxic-ischemic damage to the central nervous system who were born prematurely was performed. The clinical features of impaired motor functions in premature infants who underwent perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage complicated by intraventricular hemorrhages were studied. It was shown that cerebral palsy was diagnosed in 20,3 % of sick children, which was accompanied by severe motor disorders of levels IV–V according to the classification of motor functions GMFCS; 37,9 % have spastic diplegia with II–III level of motor disorders; 27,8 % have a hemiplegic form of cerebral palsy with motor disorders corresponding to level II of the GMFCS classification. Acquired posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus was diagnosed in 14,0 % of the examined children, while the vast majority of children who were operated on before 6 months of age did not have motor deficiency (level III according to the GMFCS classification); 1 child (9,1 %) was not operated on and had a V level of motor disorders according to GMFCS. It has been established that the most significant factors that form a severe motor prognosis are: gestational age of 27–30 weeks, peri-intraventricular hemorrhages of II–IV degrees, periventricular leukomalacia of III degree and signs of periventricular ischemia.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of permanent pre, post and perinatal disorders of the motor and posture development due to non-progressive alterations in brain’s natural development caused by injuries in the Central Nervous System. Due to the importance of the daily use of the upper limb members, it’s important to consider more efficient ways to evaluate the performance in patients diagnosed with CP. One way to obtain an evaluation of the performance of the thoracic member is recording defined movements and calculating the smoothness, using an instrumented sorting block box. Our objective is to create a protocol of valuation for the upper member that is objective, efficient and that gives a quantitative feedback of the grade of the motor affectation of child with PC in a clinical environment.

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral palsy (CP) is characterized by postural, functional and tonus dysfunctions due to lesions in the Central Nervous System in the maturation phase. Physiotherapy inserts itself in the treatment of CP aiming to normalize dysfunctions, providing higher quality of life and autonomy. One of the most used methods for the treatment of these patients is the Bobath Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT). The prognosis and efficacy of treatment can be measured through instruments such as GMFM. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the physiotherapeutic treatment based on NDT through the GMFM-88 scale in children with CP before and after intervention, quantitatively observing the evolution. METHODOLOGY: 8 patients were submitted to the GMFM scale before and after physiotherapeutic treatment. The treatment was carried out in the discipline of Pediatrics of a Community University. Quantitative data were tabulated and analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and GMAE-2 Software. RESULTS: A general evolution was observed in the neuropsychomotor development of patients or the maintenance of their condition. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrate that the physiotherapeutic treatment based on the Bobath Neurodevelopmental Treatment is effective for the evolution or maintenance of the gross motor function of the patients and that the GMFM instrument is effective in showing these results quantitatively. KEYWORDS: motor activity, cerebral palsy, proprioception, physiotherapy.

Cerebral palsy, one of the diseases of the central nervous system, is a serious disease that is caused by various brain injuries during the first year of life: before, inside and after childbirth. Patients with cerebral palsy lag behind in physical and mental development, and due to their inability to help themselves, this causes not only medical, but also social problems. Proper dental care for sick children with cerebral palsy is one of the measures to prevent diseases of the oral mucosa and its complications
