CP describes a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation. The motor disorders of cerebral palsy are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation, perception, cognition, communication, and behavior, by epilepsy, and by secondary musculoskeletal problems.

In a child with cerebral palsy, the damage tends to be in the area of the brain that controls muscle tone and movement of the arms and legs. Therefore, the brain is unable to influence the amount of muscle flexibility. The muscle command dominates the spinal cord and, as a result, the muscle is too stiff or spastic.

SDR is a neurosurgical procedure that involves selectively sectioning (cutting) of some of the sensory (dorsal) nerve fibers that come from the muscles and enter the spinal cord.

eJournal

Please select ONE posted article from (14.8-14.15) related to the topic/theme, review it for us, and provide a summary. The summary can be shared either as a word document (500 or fewer words), PDF, audio or video recording, or PowerPoint presentation (less than ten slides). The summary should include three things you like about the article (pros) and three things you did not like about the paper (cons).
 
 The summary has to be shared on the slack eJournal channel for grading. Your score/points on the assignment will not be shared publically.
 
 The goal of the is assignment is to highlight:
 
 - critical analysis of a published evidence
 - new or old development in the field, to see how we have evolved
 - gain experience at peer-reviewing
 
 A short course on peer review is available at Publons Academy that is free to take for anyone. You will also get added to a list of available peer reviewers when you sign up to accept the course so that the journals can look for you and send you a request for peer review.
