Because of the availability of new knowledge about the neurobiology of developmental brain injury, information that epidemiology and modern brain imaging is providing, the availability of more precise measuring instruments of patient performance, and the increase in studies evaluating the efficacy of therapy for the consequences of injury, the need for reconsideration of the definition and classification of cerebral palsy (CP) has become evident. Pertinent material was reviewed at an international symposium participated in by selected leaders in the preclinical and clinical sciences. Suggestions were made about the content of a revised definition and classification of CP that would meet the needs of clinicians, investigators, and health officials, and provide a common language for improved communication. With leadership and direction from an Executive Committee, panels utilized this information and have generated a revised Definition and Classification of Cerebral Palsy. The Executive Committee presents this revision and welcomes substantive comments about it.
由于关于发育性脑损伤神经生物学的新知识不断涌现，流行病学和现代脑成像技术所提供的信息，更精确的患者表现测量工具的出现，以及评估损伤后果治疗效果的研究增多，重新审视脑性瘫痪（CP）的定义和分类的必要性已变得显而易见。在一次由临床前和临床科学领域的杰出领导者参加的国际研讨会上，对相关材料进行了审查。针对修订后的CP定义和分类的内容提出了建议，该定义和分类将满足临床医生、研究人员和卫生官员的需求，并为改善交流提供一种通用语言。在执行委员会的领导和指导下，各小组利用这些信息制定了修订后的《脑性瘫痪定义和分类》。执行委员会现提交此修订版，并欢迎对此提出实质性意见。
