1. Antecedents of Cerebral Palsy in children born at term - according to subtype, motor severity and accompanying impairments
Sammanfattning : Aims: To explore antecedents of cerebral palsy (CP) according to subtype, severity of motor impairment and accompanying impairments (epilepsy and/or cognitive impairments) in relation to neuroimaging patterns. Material and methods: Case control studies were performed in a population-based serie of children with CP born at term (n=309), matched with a control group (n=618). LÄS MER
2. Sjögren-Larsson syndrome in Sweden : an epidemiological, genetic, clinical and biochemical study

It is characterized by the three cardinal signs congenital ichthyosis, spastic di- or tetraplegia and mental retardation. LÄS MER
3. Dynamic ankle-foot orthoses in children with spastic diplegia : interview and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Dynamic ankle-foot orthosis (DAFO) is a thin supra malleolar orthosis used as a compliment to the total treatment program in children with cerebral palsy (CP) in order to facilitate function in sitting, standing and walking. The DAFO keeps the foot in a functional position and is said to provide the child with proprioceptive feedback for balance- and postural control. LÄS MER
4. Postoperative Intrathecal Pain Treatment in Children
Sammanfattning : Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is an effective operations method that successfully decreased the degree of spasticity with long lasting beneficial effects for children with spastic diplegia. Children undergoing SDR are postoperatively in severe pain, a pain related to both the extensive surgical exposure with multilevel laminotomy and the nerve root manipulation. LÄS MER
5. Infectious and inflammatory mechanisms in preterm birth and cerebral palsy
Sammanfattning : Background: International studies of women in preterm labor (PTL) and preterm pre-labor rupture of the membranes (pPROM) have shown a significant association between microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC), some cytokines and chemokines and preterm birth (PTB). These studies have been performed in countries with higher incidence of PTB than that in Sweden. LÄS MER
