Cerebral palsy: An illustrated ground-breaking experience. Evidence-based medicine

      Аннотация: Cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous condition associated with a non-progressive lesion causing permanent disorder of movement with limited mobility, and is generally associated with gross motor developmental delay. In moderate to severe cases of cerebral palsy, motor developmental milestones such as walking may never be achieved. Impaired cognition and delayed speech are also commonly seen. The aim of this paper is describe our illustrated experience with cerebral palsy with emphasis on treatment with multi-factorial therapies. Inn conclusion,cerebral palsy is a heterogeneous condition, and the emergence of a single therapeutic agent that offers a comprehensive effect to improve its manifestations is very unlikely is the near future. Therefore, the use of evidence-based multi-factorial therapies is advisable. Adequate muscle relaxation is vital to prevent the complications of contractures which appear to cause a progressive disability.
