Handicap as a result of cerebral palsy concerns mainly motor function, but is often combined with other problems. The aim of the study is measurements of manual function in children suffering from cerebral palsy, in comparison with epilepsy. The study was conducted on 40 children attending Special School Complex No103 in Poznań in whom cerebral palsy was recognized with accompanying epilepsy. In the investigated group there was one child with monoplegia, four with hemiplegia, seven with diplegia, two with atetosis, 22 children with quadriplegia and four children with mixed form of CP. All children were subjected to complex diagnosing of the functional fitness and functional development.

Results:

Children in whom epilepsy was diagnosed showed slightly higher functional fitness, but worse manual function than children with no epilepsy.
