Chapter 18. Case Study: Cerebral Palsy
Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
____ 1. A 6-year-old child with cerebral palsy is likely to demonstrate decreased ability to participate in daily activities, as compared to when the child was 3 years old, because of:
a. | progression of the original central nervous system lesion. |
b. | osteoarthritic changes in the lower extremities. |
c. | increasing height and weight. |
d. | development of respiratory conditions. |
____ 2. A 6-year-old child with cerebral palsy who walks independently in the school environment using a wheeled, rear walker, would be classified in the Gross Motor Function Classification System as:
a. | Level I |
b. | Level II |
c. | Level III |
d. | Level IV |
____ 3. The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales–2nd edition (PDMS-2) is an appropriate tool for assessing the level of motor development of a child with cerebral palsy who is:
a. | 3 years old |
b. | 7 years old |
c. | 13 years old |
d. | 21 years old |
____ 4. When assessing the lower extremity range of motion of a child with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, accuracy of the measurement is:
a. | not achieved because of the changes in muscle tone. |
b. | easily achieved using a standard goniometer. |
c. | enhanced by averaging two consecutive measurements. |
d. | supported by high intersession reliability of goniometry. |
____ 5. Strength training programs for children with cerebral palsy have been demonstrated to:
a. | increase muscle strength. |
b. | increase muscle tone. |
c. | increase functional community ambulation skill. |
d. | increase aerobic capacity. |
____ 6. A 6-year-old child with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy can ambulate independently with a rear walker in the school environment, cannot stand without support, and sometimes loses her balance when reaching for objects while sitting at her desk. The best standardized assessment of dynamic balance to use in examination of this child is:
a. | Berg Balance Test. |
b. | Gross Motor Function Measure 66 (GMFM-66). |
c. | Standing balance with eyes open and eyes closed. |
d. | Modified Functional Reach Test in sitting. |
____ 7. To measure a 6-year-old child’s level of participation in life activities, the best standardized measurement tool to use is the:
a. | Gross Motor Function Measure, 88. |
b. | Peabody Developmental Motor Scale–2nd edition. |
c. | School Function Assessment. |
d. | Timed Up and Go Test. |
____ 8. Evidence has shown that “participation” scores of children with cerebral palsy increase with:
a. | aerobic training programs. |
b. | cycle ergometry. |
c. | Progressive resistance exercise training. |
d. | Passive range of motion and stretching. |
____ 9. A 13-year-old child with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy has decreased dorsiflexion range of motion bilaterally. An appropriate activity to include in his home program to increase dorsiflexion range of motion is:
a. | passive range of motion of the ankle. |
b. | wear orthotics for at least 3 to 4 hours daily. |
c. | strength training of the dorsiflexors. |
d. | heel lift exercises. |
____ 10. A physical therapist would like to assess the level of participation of a 20-year-old college student with spastic cerebral palsy. Which of the following standardized measurement tools is most appropriate?
a. | Pediatric Quality of Life Measure (PedQL) |
b. | Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency |
c. | Gross Motor Function Measure-66 |
d. | Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Index (PEDI-CAT) |
____ 11. Which of the following interventions appears to have the most likely impact on increasing walking speed?
a. | Functional electrical stimulation of the LE during walking |
b. | Virtual reality training combined with treadmill training |
c. | Progressive resistive exercise of the lower extremity |
d. | Aerobic training using a daily walking program |
____ 12. Young adults with cerebral palsy, as compared with their age-matched peers:
a. | are more likely to develop hypertension. |
b. | are equally socially active. |
c. | are encouraged to participate in less leisure time physical activity. |
d. | should focus their exercise program on range of motion exercise. |
____ 13. What test specifically addresses the motor skills of children with cerebral palsy?
a. | Gross Motor Function Measure |
b. | Timed Up and Go |
c. | PEDI-CAT |
d. | School Function Assessment |
