MOTOR WEAKNESS: • Types & pattern •


Anatomical localization • Etiology

History • Onset • Course • H/o fever • H/o


seizures • Developmental milestones

Examination • Young child - ‘observation’ •


Older child - ‘play’ § § § § Gait & Posture
Muscle mass Tone Power Coordination
Abnormal movements ReXexes –superZcial
& deep

Examination: Posture – – Frog leg


Scissoring
Decerebrate/decorticate/ophisthotonus
Others Gait – – Foot drop Circumduction
Limp Waddling

Examination: Muscle mass: • Compare 2


sides • Measure in relation to Zxed points • in
lower motor neuron • Slightly in upper motor
neuron Muscle Tone • in LMN, cerebellar
lesions • in UMN • physiological in newborn •
frog leg position/scissoring Muscle power •
maximum strength maybe impossible to test
in uncooperative children • normal strength
in pure cerebellar/basal ganglia lesions

Infant/toddler: ‘observation’ • deZnite hand


preference before 2 yrs suspicious •
hemiplegic arm Xexed at elbow, movement,
Zsting with thumb adduction • asymmetric
developmental reXexes • lift with hands
under arms • traction

Older child: Quick assessment • hold arms


over head • walk on heels & toes • get up
from Xoor • run • hop on 1 foot • press arms
against wall • squeeze Znger • circumduction
of thumb • formal testing

Types of motor weakness: • above anterior


horn cell – UMN • below – LMN (Znal
common pathway) UMN LMN M mass
Slightly dt disuse · severely M tone spastic
Xaccid M power Distribution Individual Mm
never affected Individual Mm maybe
affected DTRs lost Babinski absent
SuperZcial reXexes Lost (maybe regained
later) lost

Localisation of lesion: UMN MOTOR


CORTEX: • u/l weakness of opposite distal
hand, leg or lower face • proximal muscles
mb transiently weak • seizures mb+ • gaze
palsies (area 8 inv) • aphasia (Brocas area –
left side) • cranial nerves, trunk muscles not
affected dt b/l innervation Internal Capsule: •
• dense hemiplegia dystonia Midbrain • •
‘crossed’ paralysis ipsilateral IIIrd nerve +
contralateral hemiplegia Pons • • • ‘crossed’
paralysis ipsilateral Vith/VIIth nerve palsy +
contralateral hemiplegia Involvement of
reticular activating system – altered
consciousness

Localisation of lesion : UMN Medulla •


‘crossed’ paralysis • ipsilateral XII th nerve
palsy + contralateral hemiplegia •
Involvement of reticular activating system –
altered consciousness Spinal cord • LMN
signs at level of lesion • UMN signs below
Acute destructive lesions of UMN hypotonia
All cranial nerves have b/l representation
except part of VII & XII

The Final Common Pathway

Localisation of lesion: LMN Spinal Cord


lesion: • • • LMN signs at level of lesion +
UMN signs below Acute lesions spinal shock
recovery in few weeks Bladder & bowel
involvement Anterior horn cell/ventral
root/plexus lesions: • • Weakness in speciZc
myotomes Slow degeneration of anterior
horn cells fasciculations Peripheral Nerves: •
• Single nerve lesion mononeuritis –
weakness in distribution Polyneuritis: – –
Distal weakness Early loss of reXexes – may
not correlate with degree of weakness
Neuromuscular junction: • Prediliction for
ocular/pharyngeal or proximal muscles •
ReXexes lost late in affected muscles
Muscle: • Proximal weakness • Deep reXexes
maybe but elicitable • Myotonia in some

LEVEL SC PN NMJ M Weakness ++ +/- +


DTRs - (early) (late) Distribution upper level
distal ocular+ proximal or patchy pharyngeal
fasciculations + - (in chronic degenerative
disorder) tone NCV n n EMG Zbrillations , ,
fatigue pattern BSAPP amplitude of MUP

Patterns of Weakness: • MONOPLEGIA –


weakness of a limb • Lesion often cortical,
vascular in etiology • Sometimes, peripheral
n lesion • • HEMIPLEGIA – weakness of
upper & lower limbs on same side • Usually
UMN • Lesion at cortex, internal capsule •
Sometimes, brain stem/SC lesions Signs: •
hand preference before 2 yrs of age •
circumduction gait • asymmetrical reXexes •
hemiplegic hand kept Xexed at elbow, Zsted
with adducted thum Causes: • Hemiplegic
cerebral palsy Migraine • Todds palsy
Abscess • Tumour Granuloma • Trauma
Vascular - Stroke : Sudden onset -- > gradual
recovery

Stroke in Childhood Ischemic-sudden


Hemorrhagic- severe headache, s/o ICT,
meningeal signs Infections – PM, TBM, NCC,
tuberculoma, VE, abscess o Vascular – AV
malformation, aneurysm Hypertension
Bleeding diatheses Vit K deZciency Cardiac
– CHD, RHD, SABE o Collagen vascular
disorders – SLE, PAN, APS o Hematologic –
Sickle cell disease, leukemia, dehydration,
iron deZciency, hypercoagulable states, o
Metabolic Idiopathic - 'acute infantile
hemiplegia' mb dt trauma to internal carotid

PARAPLEGIA: Weakness of both lower limbs


• Lesion in SC or PN (polyneuritis) • UMN
type – lesion in SC. If acute may spinal
shock • LMN type - - lesion in lower SC eg.
myelomeningocele - spinal shock stage -
polyneuritis eg GBS, post diptheretic palsy -
NM junction - Muscle

SPINAL CORD LESIONS: • I Compressive •


Acute – trauma, epidural abscess • Chronic
–tumour, vertebral disease, syringomyelia,
arachnoiditis • • II Non compressive • Acute
– TM, hematomyelia, infarction, infections,
post infectious • Chronic – degenerative • -
spinocerebellar degenerations • -spinal
muscular atrophy • -motor neuron disease • -
subacute combined degeneration Chronic
lesions may present acutely dt secondary
vascular changes

QUADRIPLEGIA- weakness of all 4 limbs ·


Deep coma · Lesions of brain stem Upper SC
UMN signs · Polyneuritis All causes of
paraplegia Craniovertebral malformations
DIPLEGIA- weakness of both arms or both
legs • Cerebral diplegia – a form of CP seen
in premature babies

Cerebral Palsy: • MOTOR defect due to non


progressive cerebral disorder acquired in
early life • 2/1000 • Maybe associated with
MR, seizures, hyperactivity etc. • • ETIOLOGY:
• Prenatal- radiation, drugs, infections,
malformations • Natal – LBW, trauma,
asphyxia, ischemia • Post natal –
kernicterus, neonatal illness, hypoglycemia,
CNS infections • No cause found in ¼

Cerebral Palsy: • • • • • DIAGNOSIS: Delayed


motor development Abnormal persistence of
developmental reXexes Feeding problems
TYPES: Spastic quadriplegia - most common
- severe disability, MR - pseudobulbar palsy
feeding problems - extrapyramidal signs -
multicystic encephalomalacia Hemiplegia -
related to perinatal events – PIH, ischemia
stroke - porencephaly Diplegia - prematurity
periventricular leukomalacia ·Dyskinetic –
kernicterus, circulatory failure, asphyxia ·
Ataxic – often due to unrecognized
cerebellar malformation

MANAGEMENT Multidisciplinary approach


with involvement of neurologist,
physiotherapist, speech therapist,
occupational therapist Drugs to reduce tone ,
