In a study it was evaluated that to inhibit the
spastic posture of CP child, there is an intense need to find out the appropriate angles of hip joint and knee joint flexion.24 In our study hammock positioning promoted hip joint and spinal flexion that helped to overcome extensor tone.
Hereditary "pure"
spastic paraplegia: a clinical and genetic study of 22 families.
No difference was determined between the bilateral
spastic and the mixed group in respect of the GMFS-D points (p>0.05).
The presence of neonatal seizures in patients with CP, the use of antiepileptic drugs at discharge from the NICU, the presence of bilateral
spastic (tetraplegie) CP, abnormal background activity on neonatal EEG, the presence of epileptic activity on the sixth-month EEG, the presence of cerebral atrophy, hydrocephalus and cerebral abnormality on cranial MRI, the presence of associated problems such as visual deficits, microcephaly and mental retardation are significant risk factors for the development of epilepsy in CP cases.
As per the clinical history obtained from the family, the initial clinical manifestations were
spastic scissoring gait and frequent falls between the ages of one and three years.
Spastic quadriplegia showed the highest correlation with severe GMD.
Ultrasonographic assessment of
spastic gastrocnemius muscle was also performed.
Materials and methods: Six patients with
spastic tetraplegia CP aged 3-15 years were enrolled in this study.
Spastic contractures of facial muscles associated with multiple sclerosis can be nonsustained.

Daithi Sherry, five, was diagnosed with
spastic diplegia cerebral palsy when he was two.
Doctors diagnosed her with
spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, which leaves her legs stiff and causes discomfort.
