Is the search for cerebral palsy 'cures' a reasonable and appropriate goal in the 2020s?

In the field of disability research and advocacy, the notion of 'cures' is contentious. Cerebral palsy (CP) is no exception.

The Neurological Hand Deformity Classification: Construct validity, test-retest, and inter-rater reliability

The Neurological Hand Deformity Classification (NHDC) is an impairment-based tool that classifies hand deformity into one of two ordinal scales: flexion or extension deformities. Classification is made from live observation or from recorded video footage. Differentiation between the levels is determined by wrist position and wrist and finger movement.
