Objective Segmental Assessment
of Trunk Control (oSATCo)

oSATCo enables the objective assessment of head and trunk control in children with Cerebral Palsy.
This work is the result of a three-year project headed by MMU, funded by the Medical Research Council
and involving many clinical and commercial partners. We sincerely appreciate their support and assistance.

There are times during this journey that are so challenging and you may feel lost and discouraged. These are times when ‘showing up’ for the day and having an open mind and a prayer on your breath are the best tools you have to work with. It’s very humbling and most of us parents have been there. May love and hope hold you until this time passes.
