SEMINAARIN OHJELMA 8.11.2022 kello 8–16

CP-seminar: From research to clinical practice

The cerebral palsy (CP) is heterogeneous developmental disorder with versatile motor deficits. The individualized mechanisms of the sensorimotor symptoms in CP are still largely unknown and challenging to diagnose accurately. Therefore, multidisciplinary mechanistic research has a lot to offer to clinicians to understand the condition and means to reach effective rehabilitation. In this CP-seminar we aim to build bridge between research and clinical practice to enhance the mutual understanding of the neurophysiology of CP and clinical practice.

Organizers: New Children’s Hospital of Helsinki University Hospital and Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä
