Pediatric Cerebral Dysfunction Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT a Cerebral Palsy distribution category?

Monoplegia Hemiplegia Diplegia Quadriplegia

Correct Answer:

Monoplegia

Explanation:

Monoplegia isn’t a standard CP distribution pattern because cerebral palsy classifications describe how movement impairment spreads across limbs due to brain injury. The classic patterns are that CP can affect one side of the body (hemiplegia), mainly the legs (diplegia), or all four limbs (quadriplegia). In CP, involvement of only a single limb is not typical and usually points to a focal brain lesion or another motor disorder rather than a CP distribution. The other patterns fit CP because they reflect the common ways brain injury can impact motor control across multiple limbs.
