Episode Four |Research Roundup: New Studies Aim to Improve CP Diagnosis and Outcome Prediction

Scientists around the world are continuing to make important advances in research that could improve the lives of people with cerebral palsy (CP) and other disabilities. In this short Research Roundup episode, host Dr. Marie McNeely talks about four recent studies focused on diagnosing CP and other conditions, as well as predicting outcomes. These papers examine new diagnostic approaches being developed that use brain activity, movement patterns, or characteristics of walking plus deep learning artificial intelligence to make it easier to diagnose CP and better predict important outcomes. CPARF’s Vice President of Education, Jocelyn Cohen, also joins the discussion to share how findings from these studies are relevant for people with CP. The research studies discussed in this episode weren’t funded by CPARF, but they highlight other interesting, innovative work happening in the CP research space.
