The role of hand therapy in facilitating participation in rock wall climbing: A case report of a woman with cerebral palsy.

Study Design: This is a case report.

Background: A woman with hemiplegic cerebral palsy and limited right upper extremity motion, strength, and control was referred to hand therapy to enable participation in adaptive climbing.

Purpose: The purpose of this case is to describe the role of hand therapy in identifying and addressing barriers to participation in adaptive climbing.

Long-term results following surgical treatment of elbow deformity in patients with cerebral palsy.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results of surgical intervention for elbow flexion deformity in cerebral palsy. We hypothesized that improvements in elbow extension and flexion posture angle at ambulation would be maintained over time with preservation of active flexion.

Methods: A total of 23 patients (23 elbows) were available for long-term follow-up.
