Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:"Handicap situation" is defined in the literature as "a disruption in the accomplishment of a person's life habits (activities of daily living and social roles)." The purpose of this study was to determine the strength of association between various types of locomotion and the accomplishment of life habits, which is an indicator of the occurrence of handicap situations in children with cerebral palsy. SUBJECTS:Ninety-eight children with cerebral palsy, aged 5 to 17.8 years (mean = 10.5, SD = 3.5), were recruited. METHODS:The Life Habits Assessment was used to evaluate handicap situations in activities of daily living and social roles. Types of locomotion, the Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (locomotion section), and 2 tests representing functional activities (walking speed and stair climbing) were used as characteristics of locomotion. RESULTS:Locomotion capabilities were associated with the accomplishment of activities of daily living and social roles. Performance in variables related to locomotion, number of associated problems, and type of cerebral palsy explained 17% to 74% of the total variance in accomplishment of life habits in children who walked without technical aids. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION:The results suggest that locomotion might influence the accomplishment of life habits. Other factors, however--such as environmental barriers--should also be examined to determine their impact on the occurrence of handicap situations.
