Dr. Keen discussed common atypical movement patterns, also referred to as cramped synchronis movements, seen in young children, and the incidence in which these children would later receive a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Dr. Keen also reviewed new research and studies showing that very early detection of atypical patterns, and therapy to work children against these movement patterns, has the possibility to impact the architecture of the brain leading to a lower incidence of diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Finally, Dr. Keen reviewed other concerns a family may have common to cerebral palsy diagnosis including GI issues, favoring or not moving one side of the body, and asymmetry in movements.
