A Comprehensive Guide To Diagnosing And Treating Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects the movement, muscle tone, or posture of an individual caused by substantial damage to the developing brain of a fetus or newborn. Symptoms of cerebral palsy will often appear while in utero, during infancy, or even the preschool years. Typically, this disorder causes impaired movement associated with abnormal reflexes, floppiness or rigidity of the limbs and core, abnormal posture, involuntary movements, unsteady walking, or a combination of these symptoms. This condition affects each patient affected by it differently, as some individuals can walk while others are bound to a wheelchair, others may have a normal intellectual capacity while others will be greatly impaired, as it all depends on the severity of the condition.
