Abstract

Introduction: It is important to know the psychomotor development of children with cerebral palsy according to their sociodemographic and clinical characteristics to carry out a better approach in this type of patients.
Objective: To describe the psychomotor development according to sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of children up to 36 months with cerebral palsy.
Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with retrospective data. 177 medical records of patients with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy from 0 to 36 months were reviewed, treated from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016 at a national rehabilitation institute in Lima, Peru.
Results: The average age was 25.1 ± 7.16 months, the 58.19% were male, the age group of 25-36 months represented 67.89%, quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy predominated with 28.25%, 14.12% had alteration in hearing and 19.21% seizures. The average percentage of global psychomotor development was 62.66%; the lowest averages were for gross motor behavior (57.15%), the age group from 0 to 12 months (51.49%), girls (57.72%), spastic cerebral palsy quadriplegia (42.55%), children with hearing and visual impairment (36.92%), with seizures (46.17%) and premature (58.26%).
Conclusions: Children up to 36 months with cerebral palsy have a global delay in psychomotor development of approximately 35%, with greater affectation in younger children, girls, those with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, hearing and visual disorders, seizures and are premature.
