Type: article

Abstract: and links from pathology to patient's priorities for treatment need to be established.While motor disability is the hallmark of CP, therapists are well aware that other concurrent conditions can confound or even eclipse the motor disorder and must be included in these schemes.Finally, a futuristic hope is that progressive refinement of definitions and classifications will pave the way for new thinking in the treatment of childhood brain injury.Greater understanding of the brain disorder and its capacity for development and recovery are critical for any chance of restorative therapies or potential cures.
