Disability evaluation in children with hemidecorticectomy: use of the activity scales for kids and the pediatric evaluation disability inventory.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of disability of children who are either candidates for or have undergone a hemidecorticectomy. The Activity Scales for Kids and the Pediatric Evaluation Disability Inventory were demonstrated to be useful measurement tools yielding comparative results between subgroups. Overall, children with congenital disease seemed less autonomous postoperatively than were preoperative patients or children with acquired disease. Age at surgery and the interval between seizure onset and surgery are potentially important predictors of disability. This could reflect the importance of timing of surgery, development, environment, and possibly brain plasticity processes in this population.

[Dynamics of the activities of postural asymmetry factors and of the recovery of motor function in damage to the neocortex of the left and right hemispheres].

The role of postural asymmetry factors in the recovery of motor function after unilateral cortical lesions was investigated. The differences in the time-course of motor reactions recovery after left- and right-sided cortical damage was found. A more effective compensation of motor defects in animals with left-sided damage was accompanied by stable activity of postural asymmetry factors. The reported results indicate an important role of postural asymmetry factors in the early compensatory intra-central rearrangements.
