dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common significant motor impairment in childhood. CP is defined as a primary disorder of posture and movement; however, intellectual impairment is prevalent in children with CP. The purpose of this study was to examine the intelligence level associated with gross motor function and hand function, type of CP, the presence of comorbid disorders such as epilepsy, and other factors. Methods: In total, 107 children with CP were included. Age, gender, prenatal/natal/postnatal risk factors, type of CP, and presence of other neurodevelopmental disorders were recorded as demographic findings. Intellectual functions of the patients were determined by clinical assessment, adaptive function of daily life, and individualized, standardized intelligence testing. The gross motor function and hand function of the patients were classi.ed using the "Gross Motor Function Classification System" and "Bimanual Fine Motor Function" measurements, respectively. Results: The mean age of the patients was 8.10 +/- 3.43 years (2-16 years). The study included 63 (58.9%) male patients and 44 (41.1%) female patients. During clinical typing, 80.4% of the patients were spastic, 11.2% were mixed, 4.7% were dyskinetic, and 3.7% were ataxic. Intellectual functioning tests found 26.2% of the children within the intellectual norm and that 10% of the children had a borderline intellectual disability, 16% of them had a mild intellectual disability, 17% of them had a moderate intellectual disability, and 30.8% of them had a severe intellectual disability. No significant relationship was determined between the CP type and intellectual functioning (p>0.05). Intellectual functioning was found to be significantly correlated with hand functions and motor levels (p<0.001). Factors related with intellectual functioning were neonatal convulsion, epilepsy, and speech disorders. Conclusion: Intelligence assessment should be an essential part of CP evaluation and research. There is not enough reliable knowledge, unanimity regarding validity data, and population-speci.c norms in the intelligence assessments of children with CP. Research is required to assess properly intelligence for children with CP. | en_US |
