Somatosensory deficits and neural correlates in cerebral palsy: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To synthetize studies assessing somatosensory deficits and alterations in cerebral responses evoked by somatosensory stimulation in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to typically developing individuals.

Method

A scoping review of the literature was performed in the MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews, and Web of Science databases (last search carried out on 6th and 7th August 2020) with a combination of keywords related to CP and somatosensory functions. Somatosensory deficits were measured with clinical tests and alterations in cerebral responses were measured with functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography, and magnetoencephalography.

Results

Forty-eight articles were included. Overall, 1463 participa
