GROWTH IN CEREBRAL PALSY

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。患有脑瘫（CP）的儿童有时不能正常生长，这可能有多种原因。如果认识到问题，有些原因是可以治疗的；其他原因无法治疗。本研究的目的是评估大量脑瘫儿童的生长情况。这将使我们对CP的成长有更清晰的了解，从而帮助我们更容易地识别患有CP的孩子是否有成长问题。

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.
