Group I

Aim. To evaluate the effects of riding for beginners (short-term) and advanced (long-term) riders with cerebral palsy on their whole mobility. The study involved 15 subjects (two girls and eleven boys). The subjects were aged from 3 to 19 years (8.73 years ± 5.85). All of the subjects had been diagnosed with a spastic form of cerebral palsy. The duration of the participation differed as follows: the advanced subjects had been riding for 1-4 years (2.66 years ± 1.16), while the beginners have been riding for two weeks (10 sessions). Group I (advanced riders) consisted of eight subjects (7 boys and 1 girl) who had therapy sessions regularly once a week and differed only in terms of the duration of their participation in the experiment. Group II (beginners) consisted of seven children (1 girl and 6 boys) who participated in only 10 riding sessions. All of the subjects were assessed according to the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and Gross Motor Function Classification System for CP (GMFCS) both before the investigation and after it. Conclusions. Ten riding lessons did not have an influence on the beginner riders with cerebral palsy gross motor functions and their gross motor function level did not change. However, in half of the advanced riders with cerebral palsy, the gross motor functions significantly improved. Meanwhile, the level of the performance of the gross motor skills in the four advanced riders increased, but this difference was not statistically significant.

Periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) remains a significant cause of long-term morbidity among premature infants1. Clinical trials2-4 have shown that prophylactic indomethacin is associated with a decreased incidence of IVH, including the severe form. In this issue of Pediatrics, Ment et al5 report on the long-term outcome of children who received indomethacin prophylaxis for IVH. Incidence of cerebral palsy (8%) was similar between the indomethacin-and placebo-treated groups; mean IQ scores determined from the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M, 1972) did not differ. IQ scores were significantly related to IVH, birth weight, and maternal education; ie, lower IQ scores with IVH and higher scores with higher birth weight and years of education.
