Comparison of sleep biomechanics between children with cerebral palsy and their typically developing peers using wearable sensors: Feasibility study
Children with CP with higher gross motor impairment had reduced rates of repositioning in sleep. This has been proposed as contributing to the development of Body Shape Distortion; more research is needed. Sleep biomechanics recorded using wearable sensors could provide a low-cost approach to the long-term measurement and monitoring of repositioning during sleep.
