Intelligence Level and Structure of Children with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy
Abstract：Objective To investigate the intelligence level and structure of children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Methods 67 chil-dren with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy were evaluated with Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence and Wechsler Intelli-gence Scale for Children-Chinese Revised. Results The total intelligence quotients were (71.10±15.95) in the younger children (aged below 6 years and 5 months) and (73.12±16.02) in the older children (aged above 6 years and 5 months). The ratio of mental deficiency (44.78%) was less than that of children with cerebral palsy. For the older children, their verbal intelligence quotient was higher than performance intel-ligence quotient (P<0.01), and their scores of space and concentration factors were lower than that of conception and acquisition factors (P<0.05). Conclusion The intelligence development delayed in the children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, but better than that of children with cerebral palsy, with special structure.
