Clinical Considerations in Cerebral Palsy and Spasticity

Janice E. Brunstrom

Departments of Neurology, Pediatrics, and Cell Biology, Washington University School of Medicine, and the Pediatric Neurology Cerebral Palsy Center, St. Louis Children's Hospital, St. Louis, MO

The ultimate goal for management of patients with cerebral palsy is to help them grow up to become as independent as possible, learn to make their own choices in life, and pursue their own dreams. Optimal mobility is crucial to achieving independence and is also necessary for better health and quality of life in these patients. This article discusses the treatment of spasticity in cerebral palsy, addresses tone management issues in relationship to mobility and physical fitness, and introduces the reader to a comprehensive approach to the management of patients with cerebral palsy. (J Child Neurol 2001;16:10-15).
