4 classifications of CP (based on brain region) | spasticity, athetosis, ataxia, mixed |
Characteristics of spasticity CP | disharmony of muscle movements, muscles contract when stretch, contraction = tenseness and difficult, inaccurate voluntary movement |
Percentage of CP patients with spasticity classification | 50% |
Characteristics of athetosis CP | involuntary writhing movements/fluctuation in tone; uncontrollable contraction of successive groups of muscles |
Percentage of CP patients with athetosis classification | 25% |
Characteristics of ataxia CP | awkwardness of fine/gross motor movements (drunken sailor); movements required for balance, posture, orientation in space affected; jerky movements, fluctuation in tone |

Characteristics of mixed CP | several types combined |
9 types of muscular dystrophy | duchenne, myotonic, limb-girdle, Becker, facioscapulohumeral, congenital, oculopharyngeal, distal, Emery-Dreifuss |
Characteristics of MD | hereditary, progressive weakness in voluntary muscles, affects skeletal muscles, abnormal genes, not painful, muscle wasting |
Characteristics of Duchenne MD | appears age 2-6, males; first affects upper arms, upper legs, hips/pelvis; progression slow deterioration with periods of rapid degeneration (w/c by 9); life expectancy early 20s |
Which is the most common MD? | Duchenne - 1 per 3,500 male births |
