methodologies to assess muscle morphology and architecture in children with cerebral …

Aim To identify and provide a descriptive overview of the development of children,
adolescents, and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in longitudinal studies; and map …

Aim We assessed prevalence and location of pain in a total population of children and
adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) based on the Gross Motor Function Classification …

Aim If increased muscle stiffness and contractures in children with cerebral palsy (CP) are
related to impaired muscle growth, reduced muscle growth should precede or coincide with …

Background Ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is the most frequently used type of orthosis in children
with cerebral palsy (CP). AFOs are designed either to improve function or to prevent or treat …

Purpose: To describe a concept for prevention of secondary conditions in individuals with
chronic neuromuscular disabilities by using two Swedish developed follow-up-programmes …

Aim Clinical determination of spasticity is confounded by the difficulty in distinguishing reflex
from passive contributions to muscle stiffness. There is, therefore, a risk that children with …

Introduction: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI) commonly
develop muscle contractures with advancing age. An underlying growth defect contributing …

Aim To investigate the stability and to determine factors that affect change in the Gross Motor
Function Classification System (GMFCS) in a sample from the total population with cerebral …

Background and purpose Spasticity and muscle contracture are two common manifestations
