Watch the Research CP Dystonia Edition Educational Series
The Cerebral Palsy Research Network (CPRN) released its educational series for Research CP Dystonia Edition on YouTube for public viewing. Research CP Dystonia Edition, a collaboration with CP NOW, is an initiative to set a patient-centered research agenda for dystonia in cerebral palsy (CP). The initiative led off with a three-part webinar series that stands alone as an educational resource. Those webinars have been recorded and posted to CPRN’s YouTube channel.
The webinar series includes the following topics and presenters:
| Topic | Presenter |
|---|---|
| Definitions of Dystonia in CP | Dr. Bhooma Aravamuthan, Pediatric Neurologist from St. Louis Children’s Hospital and Washington University |
| A “Care Pathway” for Dystonia in CP | Dr. Darcy Fehlings, Developmental Pediatrician from Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and University of Toronto |
| Research and Gaps in Dystonia in CP | Dr. Michael Kruer, Pediatric Neurologist from Phoenix Children’s Hospital and University of Arizona |
Each webinar is approximately 40 minutes in length and provides invaluable information about the current state of diagnosis and treatment for dystonia in CP. The webinar series is designed for both members of the community with CP and clinicians that treat people with dystonia in CP.
The Research CP Dystonia Edition initiative is an open community effort to define a patient-centered research agenda. If you are interested in joining the initiative, go to the Research CP Dystonia Edition page on CPRN to get additional details or to sign up for the program. The open enrollment period will close on November 30, 2019.
