A Brain Signal Biomarker for Cerebral Palsy Treatments
Study Points to Potential Way to Improve Physical Therapy Interventions for Movement Disorder
It’s easy to take everyday activities like walking and typing for granted, but for people with cerebral palsy, any movement can be a struggle. Intensive physical therapy, starting at a young age, has long helped those individuals move more easily. Now, recent IRP research could provide a way to track how those and other treatments affect communication within the brain during movement, providing a tool that could help researchers more quickly evaluate which treatments work and which don’t.
