Neurorestorative rehabilitation in children with cerebral palsy

脑性瘫痪(CP)是最常见的身体残疾(500人中有1人)，影响终生。经济负担为14.7亿澳元/年。儿童的功能有限，这影响了他们的日常活动和参与。视觉感知和学习的缺陷会对职业抱负产生影响。该计划将测试新的干预措施(动作观察训练、强制诱导运动疗法、多模式网络训练)，用先进的脑成像技术测量广泛的结果和机制。

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common physical disability (1 in 500) with life-long impact. The economic burden is AUS$1.47 billion/yr. Children have limitations in function which impacts daily activities and participation. Deficits in visual perception and learning have an impact on vocational aspirations. This program will test novel interventions (Action Observation training, constraint induced movement therapy, multi-modal web training) measuring broad outcomes and mechanisms with Advanced Brain Imaging.
