Abstract

Cerebral palsy is a group of permanent disorders of movement and posture that cause
limitations in the activities and are the result of non-progressive disorders of the immature
brain or the developing brain. Motor disorders are often associated with disorders
of the senses, perception, cognition, communication, behavior, epilepsy, hearing, visual
impairment and secondary musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study is to
examine the prevalence of associated difficulties of persons with cerebral palsy in the
four cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and to determine
whether there is a statistically significant difference in the representation of associated
difficulties between the cantons. The study was conducted on a sample of 120
respondents, persons with cerebral palsy from four FBiH cantons. The total sample of
respondents was divided into 4 sub-samples of respondents. The results of the study
showed that of the associated difficulties in persons with cerebral palsy, speech difficulties
in 56.60%, intellectual disabilities 34.90%, visual impairment in 32.50%, epilepsy
20.90%, behavioral disorders 7.60% and autism in 2.40%. No statistically significant
difference was found between cantons in the representation of associated difficulties
for persons with cerebral palsy.
Key words: cerebral palsy–associated difficulties–hearing impairment–visual
impairment–speech difficulties–intellectual disabilities.
