Medical experts will use cutting-edge technology to look inside the leg muscles of children in a study to help understand more about cerebral palsy.
The condition affects more than 10,000 people in New Zealand with the study expected to take place at Mātai, the medical imaging research centre based in Gisborne.
The centre is working with researchers in the Auckland Bioengineering Institute (ABI) and will use highly advanced MRI technology to look inside the leg muscles.
