| Description | Journal: Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology Twenty-four children with spastic or athetoid quadriplegic cerebral palsy were paired according to severity of motor disability and age, then matched with 12 non-handicapped children of similar ages. The children were tested with a standard kinesthesiometer and two kinds of scores were recorded. Absolute Error scores reflected the children's deviation from the target and Total Movement scores reflected their over-all range of movement. There were significant differences between groups in Absolute Error scores, with the cerebral-palsied children performing worse than the controls and the spastic children worse than the athetoid children. All three groups tended to underestimate the targets and there were no significant differences in Total Movement scores. |
