ACCIDENTAL INJURIES IN EPILEPTIC CHILDREN

[摘要] The records of 960 residential patients engaged in a full athletic program at a children's psychiatric hospital were reviewed in order to compare the incidence of potentially serious injuries in convulsive and non-convulsive children.Of 210 convulsive children, 2.8% were so injured. Of 750 non-convulsive children, 2.9% were so injured.Since no extra risk of injury was found in convulsive children, it is suggested that they be allowed full participation in physical education programs in schools and camps.
