Obringer, S. John; Coffey, Kenneth
Physical Disabilities: Education and Related Services, v26 n2 p33-42 Spr 2008
Medications to treat individuals with cerebral palsy have increased significantly over the last few decades. The purpose of this article was to randomly survey practicing neurologists on a national level to determine prescribing patterns for both spasticity and athetosis. The results indicated that the most frequently prescribed medication for spasticity was Baclofen while Artane was the most frequently prescribed medication for athetosis. Implications for special educators and support personnel are put forward. (Contains 2 tables.)
