Soft tissue release for inward-turned forearm in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a surgery to help children with spastic cerebral palsy who have a forearm that twists inward, making it hard to use their hand. The surgery releases tight tissue to allow the arm to lie in a more natural position, which may improve daily function.
