Clinical Care



Three-dimensional Gait Analysis and force plate profile

Clinical care is the cornerstone of improving function and quality of life in children and adults with Cerebral Palsy.

Multidisciplinary evaluation, combined with special testing, permits individualized and goal-specific management.

Treatment techniques include spasticity reduction, deformity correction, strength enhancement, pain reduction, and restoration of joint balance.

Intervention is based upon patient-specific needs and includes therapeutic modalities, pharmacologic strategies, and surgical options.

Our coordinated approach addresses all aspects of Cerebral Palsy, including self-esteem, mobility, ambulation, communication, and activities of daily living.

Our orthopaedic physicians have expertise in pediatric rehabilitation, upper and lower extremity reconstruction, spinal deformity, and spasticity management. They employ state-of-art technology and help delineate the future standard of care.
