International Leaders in Cerebral Palsy Care
Families come from all over the country to Cincinnati Children’s for treatment from our expert team. The Cerebral Palsy Program is led by international and national leaders in cerebral palsy care. Our medical directors represent three different divisions at Cincinnati Children’s, a reflection of our multidisciplinary approach. Conditions we treat include:
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term for a group of conditions where the brain does not communicate well with muscles of the body. These conditions affect a child’s ability to move, maintain balance and hold their posture.
Spasticity is a condition in which muscles become stiff, tense and difficult to move at times. The effects of spasticity can range from minor to severe. Spasticity may affect a child’s ability to do certain motor tasks. It can cause pain and discomfort.
