title: [Higher cortical functions in children with spastic forms of cerebral palsy].
abstract: Kinestatic praxis was studied in 75 children, aged 7-11 years, with spastic forms of cerebral palsy (CP) and in 30 of them other higher cortical functions were examined. The disturbances of kinestatic praxis were more expressed in hemiparetic forms of CP, being observed in all the cases, and frequently occurred in spastic diplegias (75-94.3%) as well. Dynamic praxis was disturbed in 90% cases, spatial praxis--in 53.3%, visual-acoustic gnosis--in 36.6%, visual-object gnosis--in 50%, visual-spatial--in 80%, visual memory--in 40%, visual imaging reasoning--in 30%, verbal logic reasoning--in 43.3%.
