Comprehensive investigation of congenital anomalies in cerebral palsy: Protocol for a European-Australian population-based data linkage study

The aim of this study is to generate new knowledge about the aetiologies of CP through a focused investigation into the role of congenital anomalies

Cerebral palsy and genomics: an international consortium

Accumulating evidence of the role of genetic variation in CP aetiology suggests that individuals with CP should undergo genomic testing as part of their diagnostic workup

Epidemiology of the cerebral palsies

Epidemiology of CP aims to describe the frequency of the condition in a population and to monitor its changes over time

Exploring quality of life of children with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability: What are the important domains of life?

An estimated half of all children with cerebral palsy also have comorbid intellectual disability, the domains of QOL for these children are not well understood

Somatosensory discrimination intervention improves body position sense and motor performance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

The intervention group improved in goal performance, proprioception, and bimanual hand use and maintained improvement at 6-mo follow-up.

Changing the focus of cerebral palsy

Cerebral palsy is not only the result of birth trauma and the lack of oxygen supply during delivery.

Much information exists about functions of the human placenta and about potential mechanisms by which the placenta may influence human health or disease...

Cerebral Palsy

A non-progressive motor disability due to damage of the developing brain, this is the most common physical disability in childhood. Affecting about one in 500 babies, it is frequently accompanied by other neurological impairments, such as intellectual or sensory.

RESP-ACT

The aim of RESP-ACT is to reduce these children’s respiratory hospital admissions and visits to Emergency Department, and to help them and their families to have as the best possible quality of life.

Can Respiratory Hospital Admissions in Children with Cerebral Palsy Be Reduced? A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial (RESP-ACT)

To investigate the feasibility of implementing recommendations of the consensus statement for the Prevention and Management of Respiratory Disease in children with severe cerebral palsy (CP) via RESPiratory hospital Admissions in children with cerebral palsy: a feasibility randomized Controlled Trial (RESP-ACT).
