Resumen
RODRIGUEZ-RAMIREZ, María; NAJARRO-DE LA CRUZ, Tany y FAJARDO-CAMPOS, Pedro. Relationship between locomotion and communication incapacities and scholarship in patients with cerebral palsy. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2023, vol.34, n.4, pp.207-211. Epub 16-Oct-2023. ISSN 1018-130X. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/rmh.v34i4.5144.
Objective
: to evaluate the relationship between severity of locomotion and communication incapacities and scholarship in patients with brain palsy.
Methods
: cross-sectional study carried out in 316 patients from 3-12 years of age with cerebral palsy attended from July 2016 and June 2017 at the Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación "Dra. Adriana Rebaza Flores" AMISTAD PERU-JAPÓN, Lima-Peru.
Results
: mean age was 6 years (range 3-12); 57% were males. Spastic cerebral palsy was found in 69.7% followed by dyskinetic cerebral palsy in 20%; 69.6% were in the school and more than 50% of them had severe locomotion and communications incapacities. An inverse relationship was found between severity of locomotion and communications incapacities and scholarship.
Conclusions
: Children with cerebral palsy who have locomotion and communications incapacities tended to have less school attendance.
