Quantification of Upper Extremity Hypertonia

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Stanford University, April 2007

Sponsored by: Stanford University
Information provided by: Stanford University
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00285870
  Purpose

Dr. Sanger and the research team want to learn about upper extremity hypertonia (stiffness) in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. Specifically, they want to learn about ways to measure the stiffness in the joints of hypertonic arms. The information the research team will collect includes any physical exams or computer generated data about your arm movements.
