In this study, we simplified the analysis of kinetic gait data using pattern recognition. Gait patterns were studied in 42 spastic children with cerebral palsy (age range: 3 to 17 years old), and 24 age- and sex-matched children. Gait analysis was performed using the DynoGraphy (CDG) system (Infortronic, Holland). The foot enrollment and the role of the heel or forefoot were assessed to form the gaitline. The bipedal phase was examined using a cyclogram, which is a cyclic characteristic formed by the changing position of the application point of the resultant normal force on a vertical supporting horizontal plane during motion. Based on the pattern recognition, the gait patterns of the subjects could be classified into 4 different patterns in both the gaitline and the cyclogram. The classification of the gait was parallel to the clinical evaluation of cerebral palsy obtained based on Minear's classification of daily activity (p<0.05). The correlation between the gaitline and cyclogram was also highly significant (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that an automated pattern recognition program might provide an additional method for comprehensive gait evaluation in children with cerebral palsy.

The article describes the experience of using laser puncturing methods for dysarthria in children with all forms of cerebral palsy. Statistical data of treated children with dysarthria by age, types of dysarthria and the results of course treatment with laser punctures on the s calp zones and acupuncture points of the corporeal meridians were analyzed and points of the auricle depending on the form of cerebral palsy and the type of dysarthria according to the pathogenetic criterion in 334 children for the period from 2017 to 2019. Based on the visual study of the volume of active movements of articulatory muscles, qualitative and quantitative dynamics of speech activity, a conclusion was made about the positive effectiveness in 200 (63 %) children. The greatest effectiveness was observed among children over 7 years of age – 60 % (200 children) and in pseudobulbar 79 % (197 children), cerebellar 77 % (31 children), subcortical 52 % (13 children) dysarthria. The lowest effectiveness was observed in children with severe forms of dysarthria by the degree of intelligibility to others (classification of J. Tardieu) 40 % (134 children) and in children under 7 years of age (32 %), with mixed dysarthria 45 % (9 children). The results of treatment allow us to conclude that the laser puncturing it is effective and should be systematically (1 time in 3 months if possible) included in the complex of sanatorium-resort rehabilitation for dysarthria in children with cerebral palsy, which will speed up the recovery time of articulation.

This perspective article provides an example of a study planned using guidelines for comprehensive rehabilitation outcomes research, an approach that is believed to give service providers meaningful evidence to support practice. This line of investigation has been guided by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The short title of a study under way is Move & PLAY (Movement and Participation in Life Activities of Young Children). The article briefly describes the conceptual model, provides guidelines on how indicators and measures are selected, alludes to the details of selected measures, and describes processes of preparing for data collection, including obtaining ethics approval, preparing data collection booklets, training assessors and interviewers, and sampling. The aim of this investigation is to gain a better understanding of the multiple child, family, and service factors associated with changes in mobility, self-care, and play of preschool children with cerebral palsy as a result of using this research method. Comprehensive rehabilitation outcomes research holds promise in providing evidence that supports the complexities of planning rehabilitation services with clients with chronic conditions, such as children with cerebral palsy.
