study

June 2023 - May 2026
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the medium to long-term
outcomes (3-10 years) after Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) in ambulatory
children and young people with cerebral palsy. The primary research
objectives are:
•To determine the functional, orthopaedic and quality of life outcomes three
to ten years after SDR in ambulatory children and young people with cerebral
palsy.
•To explore children and young people9s and parents9 experiences of SDR
and rehabilitation three to ten years after SDR in relation to their prior
expectations and subsequent outcomes.
•To understand how the functional and orthopaedic outcomes correlate with
CYP and their parents9 perceptions, experiences and quality of life 3-10
years after SDR surgery.
