Description of the research topic:
The recommended age-specific equations estimate energy requirements based on neurologically intact, physically active children, do not calculate on the inactivity or very vigorous dyskinetic movements. The equations are based mainly on body size and height to determine the predicted resting energy expenditure. To measure the height in children with spasticity and severe kyphoscoliosis requires special methods. Clinicians and dietitians have to tailor the optimal food intake (orally or via percutan gastrostomy) to the needs of the children with cronic neurological disability to avoid overweight and underweight. In our research 5-18 years children with chronic neurological diseases will be surveyed. The general health status, neurological condition, nutritional status, gross and fine motor development, speech and communication, mental status will be examined physically and with special tests. Psychosocial aspects of feeding children with cerebral palsy will also be studied. To identificate the factors which have effects on feeding ability is essential to promote adequate growth and nutrition.
