摘要:
This study was undertaken to characterize the food intake, current feeding situation and nutritional status of children with cerebral palsy and myelomeningocoele. Thirty children with cerebral palsy and 14 with myelomeningocoele were investigated. The children with cerebral palsy were subgrouped into those with diplegia (11 children), dystonia (10 children), hemiplegia (6 children) and ataxia (3 children). Information was obtained from medical records, current dietary recording and clinical and anthropometric examinations. Feeding problems, low energy intake and wasting were frequent among the children with cerebral palsy, particularly those with the dystonic form. Children with myelomeningocoele gave the impression of being overnourished, despite a seemingly relatively low energy intake. It is clear that nutritional and feeding aspects should receive particular attention in the habilitation of children with various disabilities.
