Conditions for an SDR operation:

All types of patients with spastic cerebral palsy from 4 to 14 years old are good candidates for our SDR, including diplegia, quadriplegia, triplegia and hemiplegia, regardless of their preoperative level of GMFCS. (spasticity class).
The best age for our SDR is from 4 to 14 years old, the age that we did is 16 years old, the results are still good, but require a longer rehabilitation program.

Before making a final decision on the SDR, we need a recent evaluation report that can be performed in the country of origin. It is better to have short video clips showing how the patient walks barefoot. All other evaluations, including MRI without contrasting the head and lumbar region, sacral region can be done in Israel. 

To provide information, fill out the Patient Form.

Spasticity in combination with other neurological disorders, such as uncontrolled seizures;
