Pathophysiology of impaired hand function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy [PDF]

Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 2013
Unilateral spastic cerebral palsy, caused by damage to the developing central nervous system, is characterized by motor impairments mainly lateralized to one side of the body, with hand impairments greatly contributing to functional limitations. The integrity of the motor areas and the corticospinal tract (CST) is often compromised.
