ABSTRACT
AIM:
We need a better understanding of non-surgical interventions for hip dislocations and scoliosis. This study estimated the cumulative incidence of problems among children with cerebral palsy and described the type and frequency of therapist-led interventions.METHODS:
The study comprised 1482 children (58% male) aged 0-15 years, with a mean age of 3.6 years, who were registered in the Danish Cerebral Palsy Follow-up Programme from 2010 to 2020. We used the Kaplan-Meier estimator to examine the cumulative incidence of hip displacement, hip dislocation, correctable scoliosis and non-correctable scoliosis. The type and frequency of therapist-led interventions are reported descriptively.RESULTS:
The cumulative incidence of hip displacement and hip dislocation were 15.8% and 3.5%, respectively, and 39.0% and 13.9% for correctable and non-correctable scoliosis. The most frequently reported type of therapist-led intervention was a joint range of motion exercise. We found that 60.5% with hip displacements and 43.8% with correctable scoliosis used a standing aid. A further 5.4% used a spinal orthosis to prevent deformity and 8.1% for stabilisation.CONCLUSION:
Hip displacement and correctable scoliosis were prevalent in children with cerebral palsy, whereas the occurrence of hip dislocations and non-correctable scoliosis was low. The use of assistive aids was low.Palavras-chave
