Spastic Diplegia–Bilateral Cerebral Palsy 2nd Edition - Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series

DMCN Journal

Spastic diplegia is a very common subtype of cerebral palsy (CP), and CP itself is the most common cause of childhood-onset physical disability. An estimated 17 million people worldwide have CP. Spastic diplegia is also known as bilateral spastic CP or, simply, bilateral CP.

With spastic diplegia, the lower limbs are much more affected than the upper limbs, which frequently show only fine motor impairment. Now in its second edition, this practical guide addresses spastic diplegia across the lifespan and the evidence-based, best-practice treatments. It also includes the lived experience of families.

The writing of Spastic Diplegia was led by Lily Collison, MA, MSc, the parent of a son with spastic diplegia.
