Somatosensory discrimination impairment in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy as measured by the sense_assess© kids

To characterise somatosensory discrimination impairment of the upper-limb across domains of tactile discrimination, limb position sense and haptic object recognition using the sense_assess© kids and examine associations with upper-limb motor performance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP).

Aquatic high intensity interval training to improve aerobic capacity is feasible in adolescents with cerebral palsy: pilot randomised controlled trial

To investigate feasibility of aquatic high intensity interval training for adolescents with cerebral palsy, who can ambulate independently but may choose a mobility aid in some circumstances.

Exploring quality of life of children with cerebral palsy and intellectual disability: What are the important domains of life?

An estimated half of all children with cerebral palsy also have comorbid intellectual disability, the domains of QOL for these children are not well understood

Somatosensory discrimination intervention improves body position sense and motor performance in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy

The intervention group improved in goal performance, proprioception, and bimanual hand use and maintained improvement at 6-mo follow-up.

Congenital anomalies in cerebral palsy: Where to from here?

We have identified that CP registers often do not have quality data on congenital anomalies, necessitating linkage with congenital anomaly registers.

A special supplement: Findings from the Australian Cerebral Palsy Register, birth years 1993 to 2006

A downward trend in rates of CP in those born extremely preterm was evident over at least three consecutive periods across all three regions.

An international survey of cerebral palsy registers and surveillance systems

These findings will facilitate harmonization of data and collaborative research efforts, which are so necessary on account of the heterogeneity and...

Comparing risks of cerebral palsy in births between Australian Indigenous and non-Indigenous mothers

Indigenous infants have a higher risk of CP than non-Indigenous infants, especially postneonatal CP.

Cerebral palsy and perinatal mortality after pregnancy-induced hypertension across the gestational age spectrum: Observations of a reconstructed total population cohort

This reconstructed total population cohort paper investigates the relationship between cerebral palsy & pregnancy induced hypertension.

Interobserver reliability of the Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale (ASAS)

The Australian Spasticity Assessment Scale complies with the definition of spasticity and is clinically feasible in paediatric settings
