The Case for Parent-Implemented Programs to Mitigate Musculoskeletal Complications in Children With Severe Cerebral Palsy in Resource-Limited Settings

<h3>Key Messages</h3> Children with cerebral palsy in resource-limited settings are at increased risk of developing musculoskeletal deformities that diminish their quality of life. Program managers should equip caregivers to implement basic prevention strategies to help ensure social participation and inclusion. Policymakers should prioritize scalable and sustainable home-based training and the development of locally produced, low-cost technologies for program implementation.
