Migraine and preterm birth

Maternal migraine, as self-reported early in pregnancy, was associated with preterm birth in survivors without CP & in infants who died in the perinatal period

Adverse events following botulinum toxin type A treatment in children with cerebral palsy

Adverse events following botulinum toxin type A treatment in children with cerebral palsy

Epidemiology of the cerebral palsies

Half of the most severe cases of cerebral palsy (CP) survive to adulthood, but because this longevity is relatively recent, there is no empirical experience of

The risk of cerebral palsy in survivors of multiple pregnancies with cofetal loss or death

This study investigated the risks for cerebral palsy in survivors of multiple pregnancies with cofetal loss (< 20 weeks' gestation) or cofetal death...

An exploration of cerebral palsy aetiology: assisted reproductive technology and congenital anomalies

This project will explore in detail the role of two known risk factors for cerebral palsy: assisted reproductive technology and congenital anomalies.

Implementation of an Early Communication Intervention for Young Children with Cerebral Palsy Using Single-Subject Research Design

The implementation of an intervention protocol aimed at increasing vocal complexity in three pre-linguistic children with cerebral palsy (two males, starting age 15 months, and one female, starting age 16 months) was evaluated utilising a repeated ABA case series design. The study progressed until the children were 36 months of age. Weekly probes with trained and untrained items were administered across each of three intervention blocks.

Hand function development of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy: A scoping review

Hemiplegic cerebral palsy (hCP) typically impacts sensorimotor control of the hand, but comprehensive assessments of the hands of children with hCP are relatively rare. This scoping review summarizes the development of hand function for children with hCP.

Participation predictors for leisure-time physical activity intervention in children with cerebral palsy

To determine the predictors of magnitude of change in response to a participation-focused leisure-time physical activity intervention in children with cerebral palsy (CP) using the ParticiPAte CP protocol.

Clinical utilisation of the Infant Monitor of vocal Production (IMP) for early identification of communication impairment in young infants at-risk of cerebral palsy: a prospective cohort study

Aim: To report prospective longitudinal data of early vocaliszations of infants identified “at-risk” of cerebral palsy (CP) for early identification of communication impairment.  This case-control longitudinal prospective cohort study reports on the assessment of 36 infants.

The Use of Serious Gaming to Improve Sensorimotor Function and Motivation in People with Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review

The aim of this systematic review was to review the evidence for serious gaming interventions in improving sensorimotor function in children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Seven databases were searched with terms related to serious gaming and CP.
