IN WHAT is possibly a first-of-its-kind study, Gisborne-based medical imaging research centre Matai is collaborating with researchers from the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) to develop a greater understanding of cerebral palsy (CP). For the study, researchers from the ABIs musculoskeletal modelling group will use Matai’s state-of-the-art MRI technology for a non-invasive, highly detailed look at the inside of leg muscles of children with CP. CP is caused by abnormal development or damage to the parts of the brain that control movement, balance, and posture. It affects the brain in ways that impair movement of the body and limbs. CP affects more than 10,000 people in New Zealand. It is not a neurodegenerative COLLABORATION: Auckland Bioengineering Institute team leader Dr disorder but the result of a single-event brain Geoffrey Handsfield visited Gisborne last week to talk about cerebral palsy injury. and a collaboration with Matai Research that is hoped to eventually help While the brain damage does not worsen, medical teams design new treatments.
