title: [Appraisal of work capacity and rehabilitation in infantile cerebral palsy].
abstract: In clinical conditions 189 patients with infantile cerebral paralysis were examined, and ways of their medical, family, social, and working rehabilitation were analyzed. The medical rehabilitation appeared to be the most effective in patients with pareses of the extremities and speech disorders. The prognosis as regards the working capacity was the most favourable in patients with mild and mode;ate pareses (hemi-, para-, and fetrapareses) and unfavourable in patients with severe hyperkinesias, pronounced oligophrenia, and combined pathology (hyperkinesias + tetrapareses; tetrapareses + debility and/or speech disorders). While specifying the disability groups attention was paid to the degree of the function impairment (mild, moderate, grave) and to the working prognosis. Patients with pronounced tetrapareses and contractures in all the joints, grave hyperkinesias in all the four extremities, and imbecility were classed with disability group I: those with pronounced para-, hemi-, and tetrapareses, extensive hyperkinesias, combination of the motor disorders with debility were placed into disability group II. While classing patients with disability group III the character and degree of the function impairments, the patients profession, contraindicated factors of the work, and compensatory potentialities were taken into account. The studies have shown that the existing scepticism with regard to the working capacity prognosis in patients with infantile cerebral paralysis is due to insufficient elucidation of their working potentialities in literature.
