Seminars

You are invited to join this Seminar!

Speaker: Prof. Christos Papadelis, Ph.D.

When: June 11, 2025, 15:30 – 16:30 CET, Sala Conferenze PRABB

Abstract: Cerebral Palsy is a common neurological disorder and one of the most common motor disabilities in childhood. Children with cerebral palsy present several sensory and motor deficits. The cause of cerebral palsy is a brain insult that takes place either in utero or during birth. In this talk, Dr. Papadelis will present the work of his team on mapping brain plasticity in the brains of children with cerebral palsy by combining findings from several neuroimaging techniques. Dr. Papadelis will also present his most recent findings regarding the improvement of motor outcome in children with cerebral palsy as a result of rehabilitation of their upper extremities with a robotic device.
