• Abstract:

  Non-progressive chronic childhood encephalopathy, also known as

  cerebral palsy, is a central nervous system injury generating cognitive, sensory and

  motor impairments. Due to the thorax dynamics of these, there is a greater propensity

  for the occurrence of affections of the respiratory system, such as: repetitive pneumonia,

  upper respiratory infection, bronchoaspiration, atelectasis, asthma, bronchitis, sleep

  apnea, COPD with restrictive disorder and bronchiectasis. pulmonary infection causes

  more correlated respiratory failure. In view of the above, the interest arose to investigate

  the respiratory alterations and their evaluations, inherent to the motor frame of this

  population. Study of bibliographic review with quantitative approach. The following

  keywords were used: “cerebral palsy”, “motor impairment”, “respiratory impairment”,

  and “cerebral palsy”, “motor” and “respiratory”. 10 articles were recruited for the review

  study and 6 were excluded according to the criteria. Changes were identified: reduction

  of pulmonary volumes and function, gastroesophageal reflux, oral motor dysfunction

  and bronchoaspiration. The correlation between pulmonary impairment in volume

  reduction and morphofunctional changes of the trunk and thorax, generating a deficit

  in the activities of daily life and neuropsychomotor retardation in this population was

  observed, and respiratory changes should receive more attention to prevent clinical

  worsening related to increased morbidity and mortality.
