SC Portland Outcomes Report 2023

SPECIALIZED CARE

NEUROMUSCULAR We have several specific specialists running studies at Shriners Children’s Portland that are not being done anywhere else. Some include: Dr Welborn’s biomarker study looking at each child’s specific biomarker level to help inform individualized care. The intense motor learning camp allows children to set individual goals in which games are adapted to help them reach their goals. Dr Bauer’s idiopathic toe walking study, is designed to determine if there are a series of screening tools that will help us determine whether they have idiopathic toe walking or mild cerebral palsy, in addition to determining whether there is a difference in outcomes following surgery or serial casting and if there is a genetic link.
