Motor practice related changes in the sensorimotor cortices of youth with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT: The altered sensorimotor cortical dynamics seen in youth with cerebral palsy appear to be tightly coupled with their motor performance errors and uncharacteristic mobility. Very few investigations have used these cortical dynamics as potential biomarkers to predict the extent of the motor performance changes that might be seen after physical therapy or in the design of new therapeutic interventions that target a youth's specific neurophysiological deficits. This cohort investigation was directed at evaluating the practice dependent changes in the sensorimotor cortical oscillations exhibited by youth with cerebral palsy as a step towards addressing this gap. We used magnetoencephalography to image the changes in the cortical oscillations before and after youth with cerebral palsy (N
