Description:In a study of children age 4—14 years with CP, marked structural deformities affecting hand function were noted even in the youngest children, without significant age-related increases 1. The diversity of the population under study, in terms of lesion type, differences in post-lesional reorganization, and the degree to which other factors such as vision, sensation, and cognitive ability impact on hand function, must also be considered. Flexion deformities of the thumb: As well as disruption of motor pathways, there are often sensory impairments including astereognosis 6 — 9 , which impact detrimentally on hand function.
