Toward Improved Evaluation, Treatment, and Management of Movement Disorders and Cognitive Impairments in People with Cerebral Palsy

Dear Colleagues,

Cerebral palsy is one of the most common childhood-onset disabilities, characterized by motor and non-motor impairments of varying severity. Due to its heterogeneity, evaluating, treating and managing the myriad of symptoms associated with cerebral palsy remains challenging. Evidence-based knowledge to inform clinical practice is paramount to the quest of facilitating a fulfilling life with the greatest independence possible.

This Special Issue aims to report a collection of high-quality research in the field of cerebral palsy, conducted in the last 5-years, using state-of-the-art methodology to explore questions associated with evaluation, treatment and/or management. Topics of interest include, among others, novel methods to reliably assess motor- and non-motor impairments, medical and rehabilitation interventions in paediatric and adult populations, technology solutions to increased activity and participation levels, telehealth, wearables, neuroimaging techniques and artificial intelligence.
