ABSTRACT
Cerebral palsy is the leading cause of disability in children and care in the Division of Pediatric Rehabilitation at the National Institute of Rehabilitation.
Objective: To evaluate changes in functional capacity of patients with cerebral palsy enrolled in two intensive rehabilitation programs.
Methodology: Hospitalized children were enrolled in the study in the Hospitalization Unit for Pediatric Rehabilitation divided into two treatment groups: after application of botulinum toxin A and post-orthopedic surgical treatment, functional capacity was evaluated by applying the instrument Evaluation of Disability Inventory Computerized Adaptive Test, hospital admission, at discharge and three weeks after discharge, the effects of the rehabilitation program were analyzed.
Results: 85 patients were studied, with an average age of 7.5 years, found that spastic diparesis was the most frequent topographical, patients classified as outpatients in the group of intensive rehabilitative postsurgical treatment scored better on the PEDICAT in 3 times evaluative, with statistically significant changes in activities of social/cognitive daily life and mobility.
Conclusions: The pedi-CAT instrument showed high intraobserver and interobserver reliability, to assess changes in functional capacity in children with cerebral palsy. Significant improvements in the domains of pedi-CAT were tested only in outpatients incorporated into postsurgical intensive rehabilitative treatment.
