Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The care of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) continues to advance rapidly, from making the diagnosis and identifying etiology to the implementation of innovative assessment tools and interventions. In this Special Issue, titled “Cerebral Palsy: Recent Advances in Clinical Management”, we invite authors to submit papers on topics related to original works in the clinical care of individuals with CP, including care of their comorbid conditions. Focus may be on novel processes or the evaluation of established practices that strengthen the evidence for their use. Systematic reviews are welcome. Often, even when guidance is available to drive best practices, implementation can lag. Thus, this Special Issue also considers submissions incorporating implementation science. We look forward to receiving your work and disseminating it as we collectively advance the clinical management of individuals with CP.
