About this trial
This proposal addresses pulmonary dysfunction in severe cerebral palsy by using a novel non-invasive respiratory sensor. The two aims of the project are to 1) provide a screening tool to detect respiratory distress and 2) Find a correlation between the degree of pulmonary dysfunction and scoliosis in children with cerebral palsy.
