点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Children with cerebral palsy (CP) sometimes do not grow normally, and there can be multiple causes for this. Some of the causes can be treated if the problem is recognized; other causes cannot be treated. The purpose of this study is to assess growth in large numbers of children with cerebral palsy. This will give a much clearer understanding of growth in CP, which in turn will help us to more easily recognize if a child with CP has a growth problem.
