Summary

HCPs will complete questionnaires about their patients with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and invite parents/caregivers of these patients to fill in questionnaires as well. Questionnaires include questions on individualized treatment, nutritional profile and management, and patient characteristics.

Detailed description

Coordinating health care professionals (HCPs; e.g. paediatric neurologists, physiotherapists) in different centres across different countries will be asked to participate in this cross-sectional study. A) for the HCP to fill out a questionnaire about their CP child, related to general subject characteristics, motor function, co-morbidities, type of therapies, anthropometry, feeding mode and nutritional status; and B) for parents (/legal representatives) to receive and fill out questionnaires about their CP child and themselves, related to general subject characteristics, motor function, co-morbidities, type of therapies, anthropometry, feeding mode and nutritional status, participation and (their own) quality of life.
