No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Cerebral palsy or CP is the single largest cause of childhood physical disability, with a prevalence of 2-3 per 1000 livebirths. Children with CP experience different primary symptoms, including abnormal increased muscle tone or spasticity. Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is applied in children with spastic CP as a non-reversible tone reduction procedure. Better understanding of the effects of SDR on a multidimensional outcome set in one CP-cohort and on macroscopic muscle morphology can improve insights and clinical decision making.
