JOURNAL FREE ACCESSChildren with severe cerebral palsy of athetotic type often complain of pains due to increased muscular tension, which may often defy treatment measures. In such an instance, diazepam has been prescribed as a drug of choice. Supplied with Fludiazepam (Code No. ID-540) by Sumitomo Chemical Industries, Inc., we used it in this indication and compared its therapeutic effectiveness with that of diazepam. The results are briefly summarized as follows.
1) Of 22 cases treated with ID-540, the drug proved to be effective in 18 (81.8%) and ineffective in the remaining 4 cases (18.2%).
2) Of 15 cases where a comparison could be made between ID-540 and diazepam,
(i) ID-540 was found to be more beneficial than diazepam in 6 cases (40%);
(ii) The two drugs were equally effective in 5 cases (33%);
(iii) ID-540 proved to be less beneficial than diazepam in 4 cases (27%).
3) ID-540 in a dose of 0.25mg was equipotent with 2mg of diazepam.
4) There was no evidence of cross resistance to diazepam and ID-540.
5) Remarkable side effects could not be recognized in this series.View full abstractDownload PDF (504K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe gait pattern was studied in thirty eight normal children, ranging in age from 1 to 14 years.
One cycle of human gait is composed of four phases, i. e. first phase: double posterior support of thrust, second phase: oscillating period, third phase: double anterior support of reception, fourth phase: unilateral support.
In order to analyse the gait, we tried to measure the duration time of each phase. We placed the tin plate, about twenty meters long, on the floor and made the shoes which were installed the electrodes on their toes and heels. We connected the four electric circuites between the tin plate and the electrodes on the shoes.
We ordered every subject to walk on the tin plate wearing the shoes for about five minites rhythmically. The four channeled data recorder had recorded continuously the contacting time of the electrodes with the tin plate as long as the subject walked. By using a Mediac-401 type of computer, we measured the duration time of the four phases and made the computer draw the four histograms. The peak of the histogram showed us the duration time of each phases and the dispersion of its showed us the stability of the walking.
The main findings were as follows.
1) The younger children pace more quickly than the elder ones.
2) The duration times of the first and third phases become shorter than that of adult.
3) The dispersion of each histogram is wider than that of adult.View full abstractDownload PDF (2689K) -
