What Do We Really Know About the Transition to Adult-Centered Health Care? A Focus on Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida
TL;DR: This review summarizes key factors that must be considered to support this critical clinical transition and sets the foundation for future research to apply prospective study designs to evaluate transition interventions and determine long-term health outcomes.

Musculoskeletal pain in adults with cerebral palsy compared with the general population.
TL;DR: Musculo-skeletal pain is a pronounced problem in adults with cerebral palsy from an early age, and should be addressed specifically in the follow-up programs, and in further clinical studies on potential causal pathways.

Locomotion skills in adults with cerebral palsy
TL;DR: Deterioration of locomotion skills is a significant problem in persons with CP from an early age, documenting the need for life-long follow-up and the predictors above should be investigated in further clinical studies.

Utilization of neural network in the elaboration of an evaluation scale for pain in cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: An interesting aspect of neural networks is shown in the elaboration of an evaluation scale for pain in cerebral palsy with severe mental retardation, where the number of items had to be limited in the final step of statistical validation.

Long-term follow-up of triple arthrodesis in patients with cerebral palsy.
TL;DR: A long-term retrospective review of patients with cerebral palsy who had triple arthrodeses as children before 1981 found persistent pain and distance limitation were also strongly correlated with residual planovalgus deformity and patient satisfaction was predominantly related to persistent pain.

Chronic Intrathecal Baclofen Administration in Severe Spasticity
TL;DR: Patients with severe spasticity due to central or spinal cord damage, resistant to all conservative treatments, were selected after a percutaneous trial period for chronic intrathecal baclofen infusion by programmable pumps and showed constant decrease of rigidity, absence of spasms, improvement of bladder function, cramping pain remission, and moderate improvement in walking capacity and transfer activities.

Triple arthrodesis for children with spastic cerebral palsy
M. Lloyd Ireland,M. Mark Hoffer +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that triple arthrodesis is an excellent procedure for children with spastic cerebral palsy, to correct deformity and relieve pain, but it should be done while the children are still walking for the best chances of continued ambulation.
