Disturbances of Manual Perception in Children with Cerebral Palsy

View through CrossRef
SUMMARYThe recognition of shapes held in the hand without the help of sight is one of the gnosias that should be studied in children with cerebral palsy.We have compared, in identical conditions, the responses given by 218 normal children with those given by 92 children with cerebral palsy.It is possible to establish the existence of disorders of manual perception, and to judge the severity of this type of agnosia, by comparing a child's gnosic age and mental age. This procedure provides a useful check on progress during re‐education.The present study shows that disorders of manual perception can be found in all forms of cerebral palsy. This type of agnosia occurs more frequently, and is often more severe, in cases with spasticity or rigidity than in those with athetosis. It is perhaps more frequent in cases where the right side is affected rather than the left, and possibly also in unilateral rather than bilateral cases.RÉSUMÉTroubles de la perception manuelle chez les enfants infirmes moteurs cérébrauxLa faculté permettant de reconnaître les formes tenues dans la main sans Ľintervention visuelle est une des gnosies que Ľon doit étudier chez les enfants atteints ďinfirmité motrice cérébrate.Nous avons comparé, dans des conditions identiques, les réponses de 218 enfants nor‐maux et celles de 92 enfants infirmes cérébraux.On peut fonder Ľexistence de troubles de la perception manuelle et juger de la gravité de ce type ďagnosie sur la seule comparaison de Ľâge gnosique et de Ľâge mental ďun enfant.

SUMMARYThe recognition of shapes held in the hand without the help of sight is one of the gnosias that should be studied in children with cerebral palsy.
We have compared, in identical conditions, the responses given by 218 normal children with those given by 92 children with cerebral palsy.
It is possible to establish the existence of disorders of manual perception, and to judge the severity of this type of agnosia, by comparing a child's gnosic age and mental age.
This procedure provides a useful check on progress during re‐education.
The present study shows that disorders of manual perception can be found in all forms of cerebral palsy.
This type of agnosia occurs more frequently, and is often more severe, in cases with spasticity or rigidity than in those with athetosis.
