Effects of voluntary exercise on muscle structure and function in cerebral palsy. [PDF]
Dev Med Child Neurol, 2022 Skeletal muscles are required for functional movement and force production. While it is clear that cerebral palsy (CP) results in loss of muscle strength and bodily function, and that much of this loss is caused by injury to the central nervous system ...
