Selektive dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) has been used as treatment option in children suffering from cerebral palsy (CP) for several decades and multiple studies demonstrated its benefits. Nevertheless, there are still no proven strategies for patient selection, optimal point of time for the operation or pre- and postoperative therapies. The evaluation of the impact of selective motor control, cognition and cerebral imaging findings on the motor outcome and life quality in children with CP who underwent SDR at the Charité University clinics will clarify these critical points in daily care for patients with CP.
SDR at the Charité University clinics. Two study visits before surgery and during the follow-up 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months and 5 years post-operatively.
