Abstract
Physical and occupational therapists have long been associated with the care and treatment of children with cerebral palsy. This review paper examines this association in light of current prevalence data and clinical research findings. A variety of epidemiological issues, such as the impact of neonatal intensive care and the risk of preterm birth are considered. Recent evidence suggests that cerebral palsy as a neuromotor disorder is not appearing. Implications of this finding for physical and occupational therapists are discussed.Keywords
