October 6 is World Cerebral Palsy Day. There are more than 17 million people across the world living with cerebral palsy (CP). It is the most common physical disability in childhood.
Congratulations to the BC Children’s and BC Women’s investigators who were awarded funding through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Project Grant Spring 2020 competition. Our research community received over $4 million in new research grants.
For children and families, a diagnosis of atypical cerebral palsy (CP) comes with as many questions as it does answers. CP is a broad category of disorders that affect a child’s movement and ability to communicate. Around two in every 1,000 children will develop the condition.
