Early Detection Tools for Cerebral Palsy (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

@#The studies on early detection of cerebral palsy(CP) showed that neurological examinations(Vojta Posture Reflex, Infant Movement Milestone, Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment, General Movement Assessment), imaging examinations (cranial B-ultrasonography, CT, MRI) and electrophysiologic examinations (Brainstem auditory evoked potentials, electroencephalogram, somatosensory evoked potentials) are in common use. General Movement Assessment was used in China three years ago, showing high sensitivity and specificity in predicting CP. Imaging examinations and electrophysiologic examinations can find organic diseases and other dysfunctions.
