Writing ability in children with cerebral palsy after phased fibrotomy

Abstract

Writing ability is a complex that includes a variety of skills and activities that must be in writing in the interaction. Successful writing is achieved only if all the skills and all of these processes work, and if in the course of learning, or acquisition of writing skills reach their full integrativity. Cerebral palsy does not have a typical clinical picture, but it is specific to each individual in relation to: the etiology of brain damage, localization and size of defects, the period in which the damage occurred. Given this fact assessment of a child with cerebral palsy should be based on the model estimates the potential and profile through achievements in certain areas, the qualitative and quantitative interpretation. The aim of this study is to assess the writing skills of boy who had undergone surgery of stage fibrotomy. The research results indicate that there is a visible improvement in writing skills after the completion of stage fibrotomy intervention (especially after the third intervention).

Pisanje je kompleksna sposobnost koja uključuje niz različitih sposobnosti i aktivnosti koje tokom pisanja moraju biti u interakciji. Uspešno pisanje se ostvaruje samo ako sve sposobnosti i svi ovi procesi funkcionišu i ako se tokom učenja, odnosno sticanja sposobnosti pisanja postigne njihova potpuna integrativnost. Cerebralna paraliza nema jednu karakterističnu kliničku sliku, već je ona specifična za svakog pojedinca u odnosu na: etiologiju oštećenja mozga, lokalizaciju i veličinu oštećenja, period u kojem je došlo do oštećenja. Obzirom na ovu činjenicu procenu deteta sa cerebralnom paralizom treba zasnivati na modelu procene potencijala, odnosno kroz profile postignuća u pojedinim područjima, kroz kvalitativnu i kvantitativnu interpretaciju. Cilj ovog rada je procena sposobnosti pisanja dečaka koji je bio podvrgnut hirurškoj intervenciji etapne fibrotomije. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to da postoji vidljiv napredak u sposobnosti pisanja nakon izvršenih intervencija etapne fibrotomije (naročito posle treće intervencije).
