Prevalence of Sensory Processing Deficits in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy - An Indian Caregiver’s Perspective

Description
Summary:This study aims to analyze the prevalence and patterns of sensory processing deficits (SPD) in Indian children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) using child sensory profile-2 (CSP-2) caregiver questionnaire. The authors surveyed 230 caregivers of children aged 3 to 14 y with spastic CP, using CSP-2. The difference in prevalence and distribution of SPDs among the CP subtypes and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels was done. Overall prevalence of “Definite” (>2 SD) SPDs was 83%. Forty-seven percent had definite SPDs in more than one sensory subsection. Prevalence of definite SPDs was similar among the spastic CP subtypes. “Conduct” domain had more affection among hemiplegics and quadriplegics. “Avoiding” pattern was observed more in quadriplegics and “Seeking” pattern was observed less in diplegics. Severe GMFCS levels had more definite sensory processing deficits. SPDs are highly prevalent in children with spastic CP with unique patterns of affection among the spastic CP subtypes.
