Cerebral Palsy: Current Concepts and a Glimpse Into the Future

Cerebral palsy (CP) is an encompassing term for a group of permanent neurologic disorders of movement and posture commonly seen in early childhood and caused by abnormal brain development early in life. The cause of CP is unclear in the majority of patients affected and can be multifactorial, occurring in various time frames such as prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum. Because CP is a clinical diagnosis, clinicians must have a strong understanding of the clinical presentation to ensure early diagnosis and improved outcomes for patients. This activity reviews CP and describes advances in diagnosis and management; it also provides an overview of new treatments that are under investigation.
 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  • Review the causes, pathophysiology, and risk factors for CP
  • Explain diagnostic literature and modalities, current and novel, for CP
  • Discuss current and novel management of CP
