The clinical basis for making treatment decisions in children with cerebral palsy.
In the process of treating children with cerebral palsy one of the basic elements is the skill of identifying the foundations for making the decision to employ the proper types of procedures. These decisions should be based on an evaluation of the etiology of the child's mobility impairments, or more precisely the factors that impede the child's movement. These factors may be the sequelae of the primary damage to the central nervous system, or of secondary complications, such as muscle spasms, and this distinction effects and complicate the primary disability.
