Systems of Therapy in Cerebral Palsy

Tersely written and competently presented,<i>Systems of Therapy in Cerebral Palsy</i>fills a need of physicians who see children with neuromuscular diseases and who are often perplexed or intimidated by physical therapists. Dr. Gillette organizes her book into two portions: the first is a summary of basic neurologic mechanisms related to motions in cerebral palsy; upon these innate neurophysiological processes systems of therapy are clarified and their application outlined. Dr. Gillette simplifies the components of motion to mechanisms of stimulus, synergy, tone, orientation, and strength. Stimulation, the origin of any movement, is the excitation which arises from a muscle or from the environment. Tone is that constant tension of the muscle reflexly regulated by labyrinthine, tonic neck, and righting reflexes and postural adjustment reactions. Synergies are combined movements of primitive flexion and extension patterns which are under no volutional control. Orientation is knowledge of body parts and relationship of

Hypnosis in cerebral palsy.

Abstract Hypnosin was used with 19 cerebral palsy patients to determine its value in the treatment of this condition. Four patients demonstrated definite benefit; however, in general, the results were not remarkable. The positive results noted in four patients were: (1) improved epeech and writing ability; (2) improved walking ability; (3) decreased of pain in hyperesthetic feet; (4) personality improvement from a marked shyness, to an increased sociableness. Small doses of Librium, Nembutal, and Trancopal did not facilitate the induction of the hypnotic state. Meaningful, interpersonal relationships developed during therapy were probably an important in the improvement of the patient as was the hypnotic state itself. In view of the occasional definite beneficial effect following hypnosis, further efforts to utilize and evaluate this mode of therapy in cerebral palsy should be carried out.

Relaxant Drugs in Cerebral Palsy: 1949–1960

DRUG therapy in cerebral palsy is an accepted component of the over-all treatment plan. A drug may be primarily effective as an anticonvulsant, as a neuromotor relaxant or as a behavior ameliorator. Whereas the effectiveness of anticonvulsant medication is proved, the evidence of the benefits of drugs that modify neuromotor and behavioral deviations is not clear cut.In 1942 interest in a "drug approach" to cerebral palsy was stimulated by the apparent beneficial neuromotor and behavioral effects in 6 spastic children of a combination of curare and amphetamine.1 In 1949, when mephenesin was studied against placebo for effectiveness as a . . .
