This article focuses on the evaluation and treatment of spastic hemiplegia attributable to cerebral palsy. All treatments must take into consideration the level of static and dynamic motor deformity; levels of discriminatory sensibility, intelligence, and motivation; and overall level of function. The treatments discussed are designed to improve the child's musculoskeletal condition but do not cure the underlying disease.
