Objective
Determine if spinal curvatures, deformities, as well as level of disability (due to back pain) changes with aging in adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy after receiving orthopedic interval surgery approach treatment in childhood. Design Consecutive case-series Setting Urban South Africa Participants Twenty-seven ambulatory adults with cerebral palsy Main Outcome Measures Spinal curvatures (scoliosis, thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis) and deformities (spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis) were determined with X-rays, while the level of disability was assessed with the Oswestry Disability Index. Results The prevalence of spinal abnormalities were: 30% scoliosis (mild: Conclusions No clinically meaningful changes in spinal curvatures, deformities and level of disability due to pain were seen during the 6 years follow-up period in adults with cerebral palsy who have been treated with interval surgery approach in childhood. |
