Abstract

Introduction: Hip abnormalities in cerebral palsy cause greater limitations in functional activities and affect quality of life.

Objective: To describe hip developmental abnormalities according to the characteristics of children with cerebral palsy.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study was conducted using medical records from 2018-2019 from Psychomotor Development Department of Dr. Adriana Rebaza Flores National Rehabilitation Institute, Peru-Japan Friendship. Variables included hip developmental abnormality, side of hip abnormality, age, sex, type of cerebral palsy, gross motor function, and radiological report.

Results: During the study period, 417 children with cerebral palsy were admitted; 3.8% presented with hip subluxation and 6.7% with hip dislocation. The median age in those with hip developmental abnormalities was higher than in those without (five years vs. four years). The frequency of hip developmental abnormalities was higher in females than in males (12.4% vs. 9.3%). In spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, the frequency was 26.6%, followed by spastic diplegic (7.8%) and dyskinetic (7.8%), and in children with level IV motor function, it was 8.7% and level V, 20.8%.

Conclusions: Hip abnormalities are more prevalent in older children with cerebral palsy, females, in the types of spastic quadriplegic, diplegic, and dyskinetic cerebral palsy, and in levels IV and V of gross motor function.
