Reactive Balance Control Following Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy in Child With Diplegic Cerebral Palsy. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in early childhood characterized by impaired selective motor control. Children with CP often exhibit delayed and disorganized muscle activation in response to external perturbations, resulting in a high incidence of falls and decreased participation in activities compared with their peers.
