Brief Summary

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of child disability. Nearly 40% of PC children suffer from sleep disorders, which are not routinely screened. The neuro-cognitive, physical and environmental morbidity of sleep disorders should require their diagnosis and management. Limited access to the reference exam (polysomnography or PSG) delays the diagnosis and only allows screening of these disorders for a limited number of PC children. The hypothesis of our study is that connected technologies could optimize screening for sleep disorders in PC children by selecting children requiring PSG exploration and specific management.
