Abstract

During the period of March 1983 through November 1983, 500 children with physical disabilily in 15 different rehabilitation facilities were evaluated for the diagnosis. The most frequent diagnosis was cerebral palsy and the next frequent diagnosis was poliomyelitis.

And an evaluation of age incidence, sex incidence, types of cerebral palsy and PULSES profiles was done for the cerebral palsied which is the most frequent diagnosis.

Age of the children varied from 1 to over 27 and mean age was 9.1 with standard deviation of 5.0. Male was 56.7% and female was 43.3%.

Types of the cerebral palsied were classified into spastic, athetoid, mixed, ataxic, rigid, dystonic and unclassified. Each frequencies were spastic in 40.2%, athetoid in 55.2%, mixed in 2.5%, ataxic in 0.3%, rigid in 0.3%, dystonic in 0.3% and unclassified in 1.3%.

Physical states of the cerebral palsied were generally good (P1 was 94.4%). None function of the upper extremities(U4) were seen in 16.8% and severe distrubance of the upper extremities(U3) were seen in 33.8% of the cerebral palsied children. None ambulatory(L4) cerebral palsied were 43.3% and severe walking disturbance(L3) was seen in 37.4%. No functional speech(S4) was seen in 21.1% and severe disturbance(S3) in speech was seen in 20.9%.

Urinary and fecal incontinence(E4) was seen in 22.6%. And mental or psychological disturbance(S2+S3+S4) was seen in 10.4% of the cerebral palsied studied.

Findings of this study were similar to that of 1982.
