Description

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of disorder of movement and posture causing activity limitation, that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances in the developing tetalor infant brain. Cerebral palsy (CP) is most common and costly form of chronic motor disability that begins in childhood. The motor disorders are often accompanied by disturbances of sensation perception, connection, communication and behavior as well by epilepsy and secondary musculoskeletal problems. Cerebral palsy (CP) is caused by a broad group of developmental, genetic, metabolic, ischemic, infectious and other acquired etiologies that produce a common group of neurologic phenotypes. CP is generally divided into the pattern of neurologic involvement, neuropathology and etiology. Many children and adults with CP function at a high educational and vocational level, without any sign of cognitive dysfunction. The term cerebral refers to the brain, palsy refers to the loss or impairment of motor function.
