Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying the motor skills and brain development of infants who are at high-risk for Cerebral Palsy (CP). Results may assist with better treatment methods for CP.
Jerron Herman, dancer, actor, trainer and more describes how he moves with spastic hemiplegia...and it might just surprise you!

Transcript of Cerebral Palsy Health Episode 10 with Dr. Natalie Maitre, neonatologist and researcher about early detection and intervention.
Dr. Nathalie Maitre discusses the CPF Early Detection and Intervention Network and helps us to understand how babies learn, how CP impacts the developing brain, and early intervention strategies that can help.

Researchers are looking for babies with motor delays and their families to participate in an NIH funded research project to evaluate possible benefits of two interventions for babies targeting sitting and reaching. Does your child qualify? Find out now!
The bipartisan, Cerebral Palsy Research Act, is introduced by Congressman Steve Cohen of Tennessee. Read more here:
Dr. Tom Novacheck, of Gillette Children's, describes the characteristics of the 4 types of unilateral, otherwise known as hemiplegic gait, and how the use of clinical instrumented gait analysis can help with treatment decision making.
Dr. Tom Novacheck, Gillette Children's, describes what to look for in each of the 4 different gait patterns seen for those with bilateral cerebral palsy and considerations for each type.
My name is Tom Novacheck. I'm a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Gillette children's specialty healthcare in St. Paul Minnesota. I'm associate medical director at the hospital and professor of orthopedics at the university of Minnesota. Cerebral palsy affects gait first and foremost because remember cerebral is a neurological condition and as such, it affects the brain. And we know that the brain

I'm associate medical director at the hospital and professor of Orthopedics at the University of Minnesota. Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition, and as such, it affects the brain and we know that the brain is the main controller of movement and walking. In addition
Hi, I'm Debbie Song. I'm a pediatric neurosurgeon at Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare. Today, I'm going to be giving an overview of some of the neurosurgical interventions that can be done to address global tone in patients with cerebral palsy. Some of the common neurosurgical procedures that are done for patients with cerebral palsy include shunt surgery to treat hydrocephalus,
Dr. Debbie Song, Gillette Children's, gives an overview of common neurosurgical procedures to address global tone in individuals with cerebral palsy.
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.
