Résumé : |
Objective To determine the relationship between tactile function and upper-limb function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP). Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Assessments were performed in community or hospital venues or in participants' homes. Participants Recruitment information was sent to 253 possible participants with unilateral CP (aged 818y), and N=52 participated (median age [interquartile range], 12y [914y]; Gross Motor Functional Classification System level I=34; II=18; Manual Abilities Classification Scale level I=36; II=16). Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Tactile assessment included 1 test of registration, 5 tests for spatial perception, and 1 test for texture perception. Upper-limb motor function was assessed using 2 unimanual tests, the Melbourne Unilateral Upper Limb Assessment (MUUL) and Jebsen-Taylor Test of Hand Function (JTTHF), and 1 bimanual test, the Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA). Results Tactile registration and all tests of spatial perception were moderately related to the MUUL, JTTHF, and AHA (P<.001 texture perception was not related to upper-limb motor function. regression analysis showed that single point localization a unilateral tactile spatial test contributed most strongly unimanual capacity explained variance in muul and jtthf whereas double simultaneous bilateral bimanual performance for the aha> Conclusions Spatial tactile deficits account for approximately 30% of the variance in upper-limb motor function in children with unilateral CP. This emphasizes the need for routine tactile assessment and targeted treatment of tactile spatial deficits in this population. |
