Cerebral palsy (CP), an umbrella term for a developmental motor disorder caused by early brain injury (EBI)/interference, remains debated. In this essay, we present a narrative, beginning with the original anatomical-clinical description of the so-called paralysie congéniale (congenial paralysis) by the French psychiatrist Jean-Baptiste Cazauvieilh. We then discuss how the concept has evolved over the last 2 centuries. We aim to illustrate these ideas with the biopsychosocial model of health, especially in light of the current neuroscientific and sociological knowledge of human development. We endeavour to integrate 3 connected but distinct entities: (1) the EBI as a seminal turning point of the individual's story; (2) the clinical findings we call CP, when motor impairment and activity limitation related to post-EBI (or other early non-progressive brain interference) appears, and; (3) a post-EBI developmental condition that encompasses the overall consequences of an EBI. This framework should guide individual, familial and collective care discussions and research strategies beyond the scope of CP.

Rehabilitative mobility aids are being used extensively for physically impaired people. Efforts are being made to develop human machine interfaces (HMIs), manipulating the biosignals to better control the electromechanical mobility aids, especially the wheelchairs. Creating precise control commands such as move forward, left, right, backward and stop, via biosignals, in an appropriate HMI is the actual challenge, as the people with a high level of disability (quadriplegia and paralysis, etc.

Objective: To investigate the postoperative changes of the head tilt test in patients with unilateral congenial superior oblique palsy.
Methods: Thirty-eight cases with congenital unilateral superior oblique palsy underwent the ipsilateral inferior oblique or/and contralateral inferior rectus weakening procedure. Bielschowsky head tilt test was evaluated quantitatively before and after the operation by the prism cover test while the patient fixated at 33 cm and 6 m on the small light target.
In congenial collaboration with the otolaryngological department, Landeskrankenanstalten Salzburg, we have examined 216 patients with recurrent paresis within a postoperative period between half a year and 17 years. Thereby, we could note in 40% of the patients a complete disappearance of vocal cord paralysis. Disruption of the nerves, intubation damage and postoperative edemas have to be assumed to be causes of this temporary paresis.
