Fiona Burns,Robbie Stewart,Dinah Reddihough,Dinah Reddihough,Adam Scheinberg,Kathleen Ooi,H Kerr Graham,H Kerr Graham +7 more
TL;DR: Using the model of adolescents with cerebral palsy transitioning to adult services, orthopaedic surgeons can be encouraged to develop similar methodology and documentation for many other conditions for the purposes of communication, facilitation of transition, audit and clinical research.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validity of pain intensity assessment in persons with cerebral palsy: a comparison of six scales.
TL;DR: The results of factor analyses support the validity of each measure of pain in this sample of persons with CP, but an examination of the pattern of associations between each of the pain ratings with measures of pain interference and depression suggest that the 7-point Faces Scale may be somewhat less valid than the other measures.

TL;DR: Interventions to prevent scoliosis, hip luxation, and foot deformities and to reduce spasticity, such as the use of analgesics before joint mobilization exercises, may reduce the prevalence of this pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: To identify factors associated with a change in pain over time in children with cerebral palsy, a large number of studies have looked at the effects of age, disease progression, and other factors.

Grading the severity of chronic pain.
TL;DR: A Guttman scale analysis showed that pain intensity and disability measures formed a reliable hierarchical scale and may be useful when a brief ordinal measure of global pain severity is required.

The health status of women with cerebral palsy
TL;DR: Women with CP residing in the community perceived themselves as healthy, and the observed health status measures support this concept, and independent relationships were found between several of these measures indicating no significant association among the variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural history of scoliosis in the institutionalized adult cerebral palsy population.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in the adult patient with cerebral palsy and scoliosis, a definite correlation exists between deformity size and functional decline and decubiti and progression rate also seems to be a factor in functional decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Management of the hip in cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: Through physical, mental, and medicinal modalities that include both opioids and nonopioid options, a more comprehensive treatment plan can provide better pain control while minimizing opioid side effects.

A reassessment of spinal stabilization in severe cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: A homogenous population of 37 institutionalized patients with scoliosis and severe cerebral palsy was evaluated to assess the impact of spinal stabilization on comfort, function, health, and ease of nursing care.
