Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) face numerous neuromotor problems related to brain damage, the functional consequences of which, in the early years of life, impact the acquisition of walking. A better understanding of gait and its levels of control, along with refined and quantified clinical analysis in the laboratory, allows for the definition of therapeutic options in collaboration with the patient, their family, and the healthcare team. Managing muscle tone disorders and neuro-orthopedic problems is a daily challenge for patients at all ages. Patients with CP increasingly benefit from new drug therapies, regular adjustments of walking aids and orthotics, and specific rehabilitation, sometimes combined with surgical procedures, whether orthopedic or neurological. This book reviews the evolution of knowledge and practices.
