Longitudinal Assessment of Bone Growth in Children With Cerebral Palsy

Longitudinal Assessment of Bone Growth and Development in a Facility-Based Population of Children With Cerebral Palsy

In 2003, observational growth and bone density data was obtained on children with cerebral palsy (CP) living at Hattie Larlham as part of a study comparing growth with an existing database of children with CP who live at home. The original residents included in that study are now of adult age. Due to the lack of longitudinal bone density measurements in facility-based adults with severe CP, the investigators' objective is to obtain 6-year follow-up data from the residents enrolled in the original study.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Resident of Hattie Larlham Center for Children with Disabilities (HLCCD)
• Previously enrolled in the Growth in a Facility-Based Population of Children with Cerebral Palsy study in 2003

Exclusion Criteria:

• Resident of HLCCD who was not enrolled in the Growth in a Facility-Based Population of Children with Cerebral Palsy study
