与脑瘫（CP）诊断相关的医疗问题可能与大多数理疗师在临床环境中管理的神经肌肉问题有显著的相互作用。初级保健和亚专科医生对这些常见合并症的识别和适当管理可能对患者及其家人的生活质量产生重大影响。其中一些问题在所有粗大运动功能分类系统（GMFCS）严重程度中普遍存在，而另一些更常见的是使更严重的GMFCS IV级和V级儿童的护理复杂化。对系统进行全面审查以解决潜在的复杂医学合并症，并随后应用适当的筛查工具，可以帮助CP儿童及其家庭
The medical issues associated with the diagnosis of cerebral palsy (CP) can have significant interplay with the neuromuscular issues that most physiatrists manage in the clinical setting. Identification and appropriate management of these common comorbidities by the primary care and subspecialist physicians can have significant impact on the quality of life of the patient and family. Some of these issues are prevalent across all gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) levels of severity, whereas others more commonly complicate the care of those children with the more severe GMFCS levels IV and V. Performance of a complete review of systems to address the potentially complex medical comorbidities and subsequent application of appropriate screening tools can assist in achieving optimal outcomes in children with CP and their families.
