Measurement and treatment in cerebral palsy: an argument for a new approach

L Fetters

Department of Physical Therapy, Sargent College of Allied Health Professions, Boston University, MA 02215.

This article describes the need for a shift in our therapeutic strategies for patients with cerebral palsy. Changes in functional abilities must be stressed in therapy. Coincident with this emphasis must be the development of functional assessments to be used when documenting intervention outcomes. Research on functional arm movement using kinematic analysis is described for this patient group.
