New Research in Pediatric Cerebral Palsy

Dear Colleagues,

Historically known as “Little disease”, cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most prevalent, early-onset, and life-long disabilities worldwide. Traditionally thought of as a disability that affects mobility and balance, other aspects associated with CP are also acknowledged. The research field related to CP is broad and thriving. For this Special Issue on pediatric CP, we are inviting researchers to contribute their novel work addressing the non-motor aspects of CP, including, but not limited to, cognition, sensation, communication, perception, and behavior. The submission of high-quality, methodologically and sound clinical, epidemiological, and translational research is highly encouraged.

We are excited for this opportunity to engage in and learn about these crucial topics affecting the lives of millions of children and adolescents with CP around the world.
