Quantification of Upper Extremity Hypertonia

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.

Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.
