The objective of this study was to analyze reliability and validity of the six items used in the domain CAPMotion Quality using inexperienced assessors. Findings. Four raters (two paediatric orthopaedic surgeons, two senior physiotherapists) used the CAP scores to analyze, on two differ

Cerebral palsy in southern Sweden I. Prevalence and clinical features

The prevalence, clinical features and gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy in southern Sweden were investigated. The study covered the birth year period 1990-1993, during which 65 514 livebirths were recorded in the area. On the census date (1 January 1998), 68 366 children born in 1990-1993 lived in the area.

Comparison of the Gross Motor Function Measure and Paediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory in assessing motor function in children undergoing selective dorsal rhizotomy

This study was designed to compare assessment with the functional outcome measures Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) over time, in children with cerebral palsy (CP) undergoing selective dorsal rhizotomy combined with individualised physiotherapeutic interventions. Using the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), 18 children wit

Cerebral palsy in southern Sweden II. Gross motor function and disabilities

The gross motor function and disabilities in children with cerebral palsy in southern Sweden were investigated and related to clinical features. The study covered the birth year period 1990-1993 and comprised 167 children, 145 of them born in Sweden and 22 born abroad. The clinical features and gross motor function were analysed at a mean age of 6.8 y. Clinical features were obtained from a contin

Incidence of intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage in southern Sweden

OBJECTIVES: Spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage-that is, mainly subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) and primary intracerebral haemorrhage (PICH)-constitutes an important part of all strokes. As previous epidemiological studies have demonstrated highly variable incidence rates, we conducted a large prospective investigation of all haemorrhagic strokes during a 1 year period.METHODS: Twelve hospitals se
