What is Cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood, and kids with the problem and their families need support (Mental and physically). Learn more about CP and what signs to look for in young children. CP is a group of conditions that affect movement and muscle tone or posture. It's caused by damage to the immature, developing brain, most often before birth.
Signs and symptoms usually appear during babyhood or preschool. Cerebral palsy can cause impaired activity associated with reflexes, spasticity of the limbs, posture, involuntary movements, unsteady walking, and a combination of these.
Children with CP can have difficulties swallowing and commonly have an eye muscle imbalance, in which the eyes don't focus on the same thing.
Types of Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy is split into four main types, based on the movement involved, Spastic cerebral palsy, Dyskinetic cerebral palsy, Ataxic cerebral palsy and Mixed cerebral palsy.
What Causes Cerebral Palsy?
Doctors and researchers can’t always figure out precisely what has happened to damage the brain or disrupt growth, causing CP.
