Many children with unilateral cerebral palsy experience difficulties in daily-life executive functions, while better manual ability appears as a significant predictor of inhibition-related behavioral difficulties. Daily-life executive functions seem to be mainly driven by autism spectrum disorder, nevertheless, the executive-function performance on an individual level revealed a tendency of children with worse manual abilities exhibiting worse daily-life executive functions. In addition, daily-life executive functions had low to moderate relation to bimanual performance, with most associations being found between observed executive functions and daily hand-use experience. Although further research is needed to shed light on this, our results underscore the necessity of incorporating neuropsychological evaluation in daily common practice.

The objective of the study was to use targeted metabolomics following exercise to evaluate alterations in metabolic pathways in ambulatory adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to those with typical development. Our study found that funcional capacity and mobility (top left) in these individuals was associated with metabolite abundance only in individuals with CP.

This paper uses a previously published objective newborn infant cerebral palsy (CP) risk calculator and neonatal symptoms (encephalopathy or seizures) to identify participants in the Canadian CP Registry who have ‘undetectable’ CP risk at birth, and determine their phenotype to aid in earlier detection. Those with ‘undetectable’ risk are more likely to be female, have focal injury on MRI, unilateral CP, be ambulatory, and communicate with words. Early handedness before the age of 1 year should prompt referral for evaluation of CP, even in the absence of perinatal risk factors.
