  • Summary

  • For years, surgeries and medications have been used to manage different symptoms that people with cerebral palsy (CP) experience. As new surgical approaches are developed, new medications become available, and new data are collected on the effects of these treatments, clinical care continues to evolve. Hosted by Dr. Marie McNeely, this Research Roundup covers three recently published papers that share updates on surgical interventions and medications for managing symptoms of CP. The papers examined how hamstring lengthening surgery may impact pelvic tilt during walking in adults with CP, trends in the timing of hip surgery for children with CP, and updated clinical recommendations for treating dystonia in individuals who have CP. Jocelyn Cohen, CPARF’s Vice President of Education, also discussed why this new research matters for people with CP. The research included in this episode wasn’t funded by CPARF, but the papers describe other interesting, innovative work that scientists are doing in the CP research space.
