The changes in frequency and distribution of the clinical types of cerebral palsy (CP) were evaluated in 1873 CP cases admitted to the Department of Pediatric Neurology between 1982 and 1989. The observed panorama of CP was unlike the situation in developed countries. The majority of the cases were term-born and perinatal risk factors were noted to play the predominant role in the etiology of these cases. On the other hand, the most common type of CP was spastic quadriplegia where as spastic diplegia cases were less commonly encountered. These differences led us to conclude that the clinical panorama of CP might be an indicator of socio-economic development.

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have emerged as a promising non-pharmacological adjunct to neurorehabilitation. Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) exhibit altered cortical excitability, and while CP remains incurable, physiotherapy combined with other interventions is essential for managing motor dysfunction. Although some studies have examined NIBS using various stimulation parameters, there is limited evidence regarding its effects on the lower extremities and optimal administration protocols.

Background/objectives: Aquatic exercise is attracting attention as a method of rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate whether aquatic exercise for children with CP improves their walking ability and quality of life (QOL) and is enjoyable for them.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on 2 August 2024 using three databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials through Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews.
