In cerebral palsy (CP) muscles are often shortened so much that they restrict joint range of motion and the muscles themselves are weak. Thus, ‘shortness’ and ‘weakness’ are two important needs that clinicians must address.
We studied how common pain was thought to be due to muscle spasticity in the legs or arms is in children/adolescents with CP.
The findings of this article demonstrate the need for improved screening rates in women with CP, and highlight areas for improving their screening experience.
