Resumen
Introducción: La parálisis cerebral (PC) es una enfermedad pediátrica común y la principal causa de discapacidad infantil, caracterizada por trastornos permanentes del Sistema Nervioso Central que afectan el movimiento y la postura debido a lesiones cerebrales no progresivas durante el desarrollo.
Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el nivel de afectación de la función motora y el nivel de independencia funcional en niños con parálisis cerebral.
Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo correlacional, de corte transversal, realizado en 30 niños pertenecientes a diferentes IPS de la ciudad de San Juan Pasto, entre 1 y 16 años, a quienes se les evaluó la función motora con la escala de Gross motor function y su nivel de independencia funcional con Weefim.
Resultados: Se encontró que del 100% de los participantes, el 53,3% pertenecen al sexo masculino, con estrato socioeconómico bajo y residencia en la zona urbana, más del 50% de la población no se encuentran escolarizados. De los antecedentes pre, peri y postnatales, se evidenció un alto porcentaje de convulsiones seguido de asfixia perinatal y preclamsia, todos en conjunto son factores de riesgo que posiblemente predisponen para la adquisición de la parálisis cerebral. El 40% de los niños se encuentran en un nivel de función motora deficiente y requieren asistencia total. Se encontró asociación estadística (p=0.00) entre las dos variables de estudio.
Conclusiones: En los niños con PC, se observó que el tener un nivel de función motora deficiente, predispone a que los niños sean dependientes de los familiares y/o cuidadores, así como también depende del diagnostico temprano y la rehabilitación oportuna.
Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a common pediatric disease and the leading cause of childhood disability, characterized by permanent disorders of the Central Nervous System affecting movement and posture due to non-progressive brain lesions during development. Objective: To determine the association between the level of motor function impairment and the level of functional independence in children with cerebral palsy. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive correlational, cross-sectional study, carried out in 30 children belonging to different IPS of the city of San Juan Pasto, between 1 and 16 years old, whose motor function was evaluated with the Gross motor function scale and their level of functional independence with Weefim. Results: It was found that of the 100% of the participants, 53.3% belonged to the male sex, with low socioeconomic status and residence in the urban area, more than 50% of the population did not attend school. From the pre-, peri- and postnatal antecedents, a high percentage of seizures was evidenced, followed by perinatal asphyxia and preeclampsia, all together are risk factors that possibly predispose for the acquisition of cerebral palsy. Forty percent of the children are at a poor level of motor function and require total assistance. Statistical association (p=0.00) was found between the two study variables. Conclusions: In children with CP, it was observed that having a poor level of motor function predisposes children to be dependent on relatives and/or caregivers, as well as depending on early diagnosis and timely rehabilitation.
