Cerebral Palsy (CP) - Research
The research group for cerebral palsy (CP) is an interdisciplinary group that studies the incidence, risk factors and possible causes of CP, early diagnosis and intervention, as well as treatment and habilitation of children with CP. Our research meetings are digital and bring together CP researchers from all over the country. In addition, clinicians and representatives from the CP Association are active participants.
