The Relationship Between Early Motor Repertoire Quality and Later-term Motor Function in Children With CP

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorders attributed to non-progressive disorders occurring in the developing fetal, infantile brain, affecting posture, movement development, and activity limitations. It occurs in approximately 2 to 2.5 per 1,000 live births. The prognosis for gross motor function among children with CP is extremely variable. This variability poses a significant challenge to scientific definitions of motor function for clinicians who regularly deal with practical issues such as examination, prognosis, intervention planning, and outcome assessment in children with CP. Observing the general quality of movement of preterm or term babies can be used to identify babies at risk of developing neurological disorders and can provide information about possible future motor function.
